Turkey Tractors Market & Segmentation by Region Type (Volume in Units)

In terms of region, the Central Anatolia and Black Sea regions of Turkey have reportedly shown a higher demand for agriculture tractors than the Eastern and Marmara region of the country.

2WD types than 4WD ones. Most retail brands, including New Holland, Tumosan, and Massey Ferguson, are Turkey's top preferred choices among farmers in the 2WD segment. Turkey has many medium-scale farmers, with an average farm size of 6 ha/farm. For this reason, farmers prefer to own a medium HP range and cost-efficient tractors, which positively impacts the 2WD segment.

TURKEY TRACTORS MARKET OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

• High Local Production Capacities in Turkey

Turkey has a sizeable domestic tractor manufacturing base. A few prominent market players dominate tractor manufacturing. Eight manufacturing plants supply the majority of tractors for both domestic and international markets. The production of tractors for export accounts for a considerable share of the tractors produced in Turkey. Almost 9,000 tractors are exported annually from Turkey, accounting for nearly 35% of total tractor production.

• Increasing Potential for Electric Tractors

Recently, electric vehicles are becoming more popular for various applications. Electric tractors are widely used in the industry for various indoor and outdoor applications. The rising trend of automation and increasing environmental concerns will accelerate growth. Farmers in developed countries are looking for electric tractors to reduce the cost of fuel and replace them with standard ones.
In 2021, US-based tractor manufacturer Solectrac announced the launch of its new 70 HP, 60 kWh electric tractor. They were specially designed for heavy-duty farm and vineyard operations. The tractor can run for up to eight hours on a single charge with a 60-kWh battery.

Turkey witnessed declining prices for agricultural products such as rice, wheat, maize, and hazelnut in 2014. The average rice prices slightly increased in 2020 compared to the previous years. The decline in the prices of agricultural commodities coupled with the declining or stagnating growth rate could result in farmers being less willing to invest in new machinery, especially tractors.
