Combines Market Report 2026

The combines market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $28.7 billion in 2025 to $29.97 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of global agricultural machinery manufacturing, rising demand for mechanized harvesting solutions, availability of standardized combine components, increasing export of farm equipment, growth of OEM production capacity.

The combines market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $37.06 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for advanced harvesting solutions, increasing adoption of precision farming machinery, expansion of emerging agricultural markets, rising focus on sustainability in equipment manufacturing, continuous innovation in combine design. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing production of high-horsepower combines, rising demand for modular combine platforms, growing integration of smart control systems, expansion of hybrid and efficient powertrains, enhanced focus on operator comfort.

The rising demand for crop production is expected to drive the growth of the combine market in the coming years. Crop production refers to the increasing need to cultivate and harvest crops to meet global food demands. Combines are vital machines in modern agriculture, efficiently harvesting and processing crops, which contributes to higher yields and improved farming practices. For example, in January 2024, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that rice production in 2023 reached 218 million cwt, marking 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. Consequently, the rising demand for crop production is propelling the combine market.

Companies in the combine market are focusing on innovations such as enhanced automation and precision farming technologies to boost harvesting efficiency, increase crop yields, and reduce operational costs. Precision farming technologies are transforming crop management, and their integration with modern combines significantly improves harvesting productivity. As demand for sustainable, data-driven agricultural practices grows, the combine market is adapting by incorporating these technologies, enabling farmers to make informed decisions that optimize yield while minimizing resource use. For instance, in June 2024, John Deere, a US-based manufacturer of agricultural machinery and equipment, launched the T6 800 walker combine. This model integrates advanced features from the S7 and X9 Series, including enhanced automation and precision ag technology, allowing for improved data collection and analysis to support better farming decisions.
