Agriculture Equipment Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Soil Preparation & Cultivation Equipment, Tractors, Irrigation & Crop Processing Equipment and Other Types), Mode of Operation (After sales and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs)), Application and Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agriculture Equipment Market is accounted for $172.25 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $290.48 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period. Agriculture equipment refers to mechanical devices such as tractors and various associated tools that are designed to be used in various agricultural operations to save time and effort. These tools are simple to use and help with a wide range of agricultural operations, including primary and secondary soil tillage, cultivation, fertiliser spraying, insecticide, pesticide, and herbicide spraying, crop harvesting, irrigation systems, water conservation management, and livestock farming. Agriculture equipment is a required piece of equipment for farming operations.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), agriculture, food, and associated industries contributed USD 1.055 trillion to the U.S. GDP in 2020, accounting for 5% of the total GDP. Farm output contributed USD 134.7 billion or around 0.6% of the total GDP.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising need for mechanizing agriculture operations

The global agriculture equipment market is predicted to expand as various farming activities such as ploughing, harrowing, planting, harvesting, and tilling become more mechanized. Farmers' reliance on agricultural equipment is increasing as the benefits of using mechanical equipment such as tractors, harvesters, and various attachments become more evident. Furthermore, precision farming maintains the long-term viability of farming operations, increases profitability, and protects land resources, all of which lead to higher agricultural productivity. Various products produced by key players in the agriculture equipment market assist farmers in various farming chores such as planting and harvesting, expanding the utilisation of agriculture equipment even more. This has a significant impact on the growth of the worldwide agricultural equipment industry.

Restraint:

Lack of awareness

Agriculture technology reduces human work while increasing crop production in less time. Automatic and semi-automatic agricultural equipment minimises the amount of labour necessary for tasks, lowering labour costs. Agriculture mechanisation improves operating efficiency, increases produce quality and value, and allows for easy equipment handling and worker safety. Farmers' lack of information about the benefits of employing agricultural equipment is a major market restricting factor. Illiteracy, a lack of appropriate resources, and monetary measures all have a detrimental impact on the deployment of agricultural equipment.

Opportunity:

Favourable government policies

Several government organisations around the world are launching projects to encourage the rapid adoption of agricultural mechanisation. This aspect is projected to boost demand for agricultural tractors and harvesters in the future years. Furthermore, agricultural machinery is increasingly being employed in the forestry industry to carry a variety of end-products, including newly cut timber. As a result, the forestry industry is likely to provide considerable sales opportunities to the market in the approaching years. Government assistance for the expansion of farming operations, such as subsidies for the purchase of seeds, fertilisers, and agricultural equipment, creates lucrative opportunities for the growth of the agriculture equipment industry.

Threat:

Heavy initial procurement cost and high expenditure on maintenance

The initial cost of purchasing and installing this equipment is expensive. Furthermore, the use of such machinery has a significant operational cost, which decreases the profitability of farming operations. The inclusion of several machines in operations increases the complexity and sophisticated manner of operation, which also requires the management and supervision of these operations by a highly skilled operator. Some of the heavy-duty machinery have high maintenance costs, and their repair work is equally expensive, disrupting the financial ecosystem of farming operations.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 epidemic caused national authorities to impose harsh lockdowns and travel restrictions in 2020. It impacted agricultural equipment OEMs' logistics and production, reducing overall sales. The adoption of tight travel restrictions exacerbated farm owners' labour scarcity difficulties and hampered their ability to hire trained workers to undertake various duties in the fields, driving farmers to invest in agriculture technology that improves operational efficiency and farm output. The agriculture equipment business revived in 2021 as a result of improving economic conditions and an increase in farm mechanisation techniques used to increase agricultural production.

The tractor segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The tractor segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to increased use of tractors in the primary and basic agriculture activities such as ploughing, harvesting, sowing, harrowing, and transporting. Furthermore, the substantial market share of this category is related to the development of new modern tractors and the benefits offered by tractors, such as reduced manpower requirements for farming and higher production yield. Moreover, the growing adoption of precision farming is likely to drive demand for tractors.

The land development and seedbed preparation segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The land development and seedbed preparation segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the increasing adoption of advanced cultivation techniques and the rising demand for advanced farming technologies to reduce labour costs. Farm labour shortages are a major cause of increased demand for agricultural products in land expansion. Because agriculture is labour-intensive and time-consuming, labour employment has become expensive. These are the primary factors boosting this segment's growth in the global market throughout the predicted period.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the rising demand for automated farming equipment and the rising per capita income in the region. The region's rising demand for agricultural tractors can be attributed to reasons such as growing harvests, seed sowing, irrigation, and cultivation activities in farm fields. The increased integration of electrical drives, digitalization, computer sensing, and control capabilities in equipment and machinery is also related to the expansion. As a result of significant prospects for agricultural equipment producers, China is expected to have the largest agricultural equipment market share.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the increased penetration of automatic equipment in agriculture and higher and faster adoption rate of latest technologies in the region. The increasing focus of the government through implementing technical advancements in the agriculture sector has aided the expansion of the agriculture industry in countries such as the United States and Canada. As a result, North America is likely to maintain its position during the forecast period.
