Sugarcane Harvesters Market Forecasts to 2028 - Global Analysis By Type (Whole Stalk Harvester and Chopper Harvesters), By Swath Width (Multiple Row and Single Row), By Product, By Ownership, By Application and By Geography

Sugarcane Harvesters Market Forecasts to 2028 - Global Analysis By Type (Whole Stalk Harvester and Chopper Harvesters), By Swath Width (Multiple Row and Single Row), By Product, By Ownership, By Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Sugarcane Harvesters Market is accounted for $984.8 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $3360.7 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 22.7% during the forecast period. A machine used to harvest sugar cane is called a sugar cane harvester. In order to extract the sugarcane from the field and load it onto a trailer or cart, sugar cane harvesters are used to cut the stalks of the plant close to the ground. They come in a variety of forms, including self-propelled, trailed, and mounted. Since it efficiently and precisely harvests the crop, it is a one-time investment for sugarcane growers.

According to the Indian Council of Food and Agriculture, the percentage of agriculture workers in India is estimated to decline by 25.7% in 2050.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Decline in Farm Labor

In developing economies, a higher proportion of the population is typically dependent on agriculture. In spite of the fact that many people move to urban areas every year, the percentages have dropped over time. For instance, the World Bank report states that, from 67% in 1960 to 45% in 2017, the global rural population tumbled. Compared to other major producing markets, such as Brazil and other countries in South America, India, and China, Southeast Asia still has low levels of mechanisation in the sugar cane sector, and particularly in sugar cane harvesting.

Restraint:

Lack of consumer awareness

One of the biggest problems facing the sugarcane harvester market as a whole is the lack of consumer awareness of the product. Even though states like Uttar Pradesh produce the most sugarcane, sugarcane harvesting is not widely practised there. The region's low demand has been exacerbated by a lack of industry participants, uncertainty about subsidies, and regional politics centred on labour and sugar factories.

Opportunity:

Aggressive tactics by companies

Growing company presence and aggressive tactics used by them to increase market penetration are key factors influencing market growth. Companies like New Holland are encouraging private and cooperative sugar factories to implement mechanised sugarcane harvesting within their sphere of influence by entering into agreements and working together with them. Manufacturers are assisting factories, educating farmers about the advantages of mechanised sugarcane harvesting, and changing plantation patterns to accommodate mechanised harvesting.

Threat:

Lack of man power and unequal subsidies

If sugarcane is not harvested in a timely manner, both farmers and sugar factories may suffer significant losses. The lack of manual labour is also a factor in this situation. Governments provide significant subsidies on the purchase of sugarcane harvesting equipment in order to avoid such scenarios. Each state has different subsidies offered by various state governments. Recently, the country experienced political turmoil due to the cancellation of subsidies.

Covid-19 Impact:

Migrant workers are prohibited from relocating because of the COVID outbreak, which reduces the supply of workers for harvesting. However, as a result of this circumstance, farmers had a need for sugarcane harvesting equipment and market entry opportunities. Over the forecast period, migration from rural to urban areas has resulted in relatively stable labour shortages during the harvest season. The use of sugarcane harvesters has been encouraged by the government as a method of aiding farmers who purchase or rent machinery.

The whole stalk harvester segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The whole stalk sugarcane harvester segment is expected to dominate the largest market share during the projection period because canes degrade at a moderate pace compared to cane billets and the machine is frequently used in situations where canes are standing upright. Due to the small amount of cutting surface exposed to the atmosphere, it has a low rate of cane deterioration, which lowers the risk of organisms entering the stalk. Over the coming years, these factors will increase the market for whole-stalk harvesters' revenue generation.

The single row segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Due to the product's superior cost benefits compared to the conventional model, the single-row sugarcane harvester segment is anticipated to experience the highest growth over the forecast period. Additionally, single-row maintenance is comparatively simple, and parts are readily available. Moreover, demand for the product is anticipated to be boosted by companies streamlining harvester preventive maintenance to ensure high productivity.

Region with largest share:

With India as the region's largest market, the Asia-Pacific region is predicted to have the largest market revenue share over the forecast period. Innovations in technology that are specifically tailored to the needs of Indian farmers are the driving force behind the market's expansion. Additionally, farmers are becoming increasingly dependent on farming equipment, particularly during post-harvest activities, as the number of agricultural workers in nations like China and India is declining.

Region with highest CAGR:

Due to its favourable environment, including subsidies provided by various government policies that encourage farmers to buy farming equipment, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Furthermore, demand for this product is also anticipated to increase during this period of time. In recent years, labour shortages and high wages have had a significant impact on the prompt harvesting of crops. Due to issues with a labour shortage, the Indian government gave farmers subsidies for machinery, and safety precautions were taken.
