The combines market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $27.3 billion in 2024 to $28.71 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to agricultural mechanization, crop diversification, farm consolidation, technological advancements, crop yields.

The combines market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $35.28 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainable agriculture, climate change resilience, precision agriculture, digital agriculture. Major trends in the forecast period include mechanization and automation, precision agriculture, integration of data management, environmental sustainability.

The transition from manual labor on farms to the mechanization of agricultural processes has significantly contributed to the growth of the combines market. Combines are farm machinery designed to cut and thresh grains, reducing the need for manual labor. In many developed countries worldwide, farm activities are increasingly reliant on the use of such machinery. For instance, in September 2022, an article by Gilbert Ayine Akolgo in Ghana revealed that the availability of tractor power had risen to 0.0588 kW/ha in 2020 and is projected to increase to 0.0752 kW/ha by 2025. This shift towards mechanization has proven to be more cost-effective, with mechanized processes being 21.3% to 53.8% cheaper than manual ones. As a result, the transition from manual labor to farm mechanization is a driving force behind the growth of the combines market in the forecast period.

The growing demand for crop production is expected to be a key factor driving the combines market in the coming years. Crop production is fueled by the increasing need to cultivate and harvest crops to meet the rising global food demands. Combines are essential machines in crop production, playing a critical role in modern agriculture by efficiently harvesting and processing crops, which leads to higher yields and improved farming practices. For example, in January 2024, the United States Department of Agriculture, a US-based federal agency responsible for agricultural policies, reported that rice production in 2023 reached 218 million cwt, a 36% increase compared to 2022. The planted area for 2023 was estimated at 2.89 million acres, reflecting a 30% growth from the previous year. This highlights the importance of combines in meeting the growing demand for crop production and, consequently, driving the combines market.

An emerging trend in the combines market is the integration of telematics into farm machinery, signifying technological advancements in the field of agriculture. Telematics is a data transfer system that collects and records work data, tracks, and yield data from connected combine harvesters, tractors, and other agricultural equipment. The collected data can be accessed and evaluated in real-time or retrospectively, either through a dedicated website or exported to common farm management software. For example, companies like CLAAS offer telematics solutions that optimize work processes in real-time, enable yield mapping, and monitor machine performance, all with the aim of enhancing overall machine efficiency.

Key players in the Combines Market are prioritizing product innovations, such as advanced automation capabilities and precision farming technologies, to enhance harvesting efficiency, boost crop yields, and reduce operational costs. Precision farming is transforming crop management practices, and its integration into modern combines significantly improves both harvesting efficiency and overall productivity. As the demand for sustainable and data-driven agricultural solutions rises, the combines market is evolving to incorporate these technologies, allowing farmers to make data-informed decisions that optimize yields while minimizing resource usage. A prime example of this trend is John Deere's launch of the T6 800 Walker Combine in June 2024. This new model combines cutting-edge features from the S7 and X9 Series, including enhanced automation and integrated precision agriculture technology. These advancements enable improved data collection and analysis, empowering farmers to make more informed, efficient decisions.
