  Increasing Need for Agricultural Productivity

  
  

The demand for food is expected to grow substantially during the forecast period. The exponential increase in the world's population leads to an increased demand for food. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, agricultural output per person has increased by 50% since 1960. Several government bodies across the globe are taking numerous steps to make targeted increases in productivity within specified periods. It is estimated that the output per unit of total resources used in production will be doubled by 2050 to meet the growing demand, while resources such as land and labor are limited. 

One of the key factors expected to drive the agricultural sector is the mechanization of agricultural machinery. Resources such as water are limited, and it is of extreme importance that water resources be handled with high efficiency to improve water management. As per data from the UN, approximately 70% of the freshwater withdrawn every year is used in agriculture. Furthermore, around two-thirds of the global population live in water-scarce areas, necessitating efficient water management systems.

Government Assistance Through Farm Loan Waiver and Credit Financing

The implementation of farm loan waivers scheme incentives farms to invest in agriculture equipment. Government worldwide have introduced various schemes aimed at reliving farms of their debt and promoting farm mechanics. According to Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation 2019 by the Organization for Economic Co-operative and Development (OECD), farm policies in 53 countries, including EU nations and OECD, along with emerging 12 key economies on average USD 528 billion (EUR 465 billion) per-year of direct support to farmers during the 2016-18 period. 

However, between the year 2019-21 government provided a support of USD 817 billion per year, for the 54 countries a 13% increase over the USD 720 billion reported for 2019-20. Of this total, USD 500 billion per year was paid from public budgets, with the rest being transferred through higher prices. Individual producers received USD 611 billion per year in positive support in 2019-21, representing 17% of gross farm receipts in OECD countries and 13% in the 11 emerging economies. For instance, in the year 2019, government of Maharashtra, India, introduced the Mahatma Phule Farm Loan Waiver Scheme, followed by the Maharashtra Argo Business Network Project in the March 2021, aimed at assisting a small and marginal fruit and vegetable.

Agriculture Equipment Market Segment Insights

Global Agriculture Equipment Product Type Insights

Based on Product Type, the Agriculture Equipment Market is segmented across the following segments: tractor, harvester, planting and crop processing equipment, cultivation & soil separation equipment, hay & forage equipment, spraying equipment, and others. The tractor segment dominates the market share in 2023. Tractor is the most popular and diverse equipment used in the agriculture industry. It is the go-to equipment for anyone looking to move, pull, plow, haul, and till soil or land. 

A tractor has numerous different attachments through which it can perform various functions. It can be fitted with a tiller, rotary cutters, aerators, cultivators, pallet forks, disc harrows, and many other attachments. Tractors can perform several functions in agriculture, such as plowing, sowing, tilling, and harrowing. Moreover, a tractor is used for pushing or pulling the machinery. This helps in making the farming operations more convenient. They also play a central role in increasing the efficiency and productivity of agricultural operations by mechanizing task that would otherwise be labor-intensive and time consuming.

Global Agriculture Equipment Function Insights

Based on end user industry, the Agriculture Equipment Market is segmented across the following segments: harvesting, planting & fertilizing, haying, plowing & cultivation, and post harvest & arro processing. The harvesting segment dominates the market share in 2023. Harvesting refers to removing and gathering crops from the field where they are grown and moving them to other places for processing, storing, and consumption purposes. Proper harvesting of crops is essential to maximize grain yield, minimize grain damage, and maintain crop quality. Timely and efficient harvesting processes strengthen quality product delivery to the market. Harvesting equipment such as drapers, harvesters, plows, and other farm harvesting machinery is mounted or towed behind the tractor to provide a source of power for performing harvesting operations when the tractor is mechanized. Such factors are expected to drive the demand for the harvesting segment during the forecast period.

Global Agriculture Equipment Regional Insights

The Agriculture Equipment Market, based on region, has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Rest of World. North America consists of US, Canada, and Mexico.
