Farm Machinery and Equipment Global Market Report 2024

The farm machinery and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $211.09 billion in 2023 to $225.51 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the mechanization of agriculture, the impact of the industrial revolution, population growth leading to increased food demand, government support, subsidies, and the agricultural boom post-war.

The farm machinery and equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $288.89 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. Forecasted growth is fueled by precision agriculture, robotics, IoT, sustainable farming, and electric/hybrid machinery. Major trends include blockchain traceability, robotics for planting/harvesting, hydroponics/aeroponics, multi-functional implements, and remote monitoring/control systems.

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) applications in farm equipment is poised to stimulate the market for farm machinery and equipment. With the global population projected to exceed 9 billion by 2050, there is a growing imperative for farmers to access advanced tools and methodologies that enhance agricultural output within constrained timeframes. In response to this demand, the adoption of new and sophisticated technologies becomes paramount for farmers to meet the needs of the expanding population. For example, the implementation of IoT-driven smart greenhouses allows for automated climate monitoring and control, optimizing factors such as light levels, pressure, humidity, and temperature. By leveraging IoT sensors, these smart greenhouses autonomously regulate actuators, enabling functions such as window operation, lighting control, heating, misting, and fan operation. Consequently, the integration of IoT facilitates increased production efficiency with reduced labor, thereby propelling the farm machinery and equipment market.

The farm machinery and equipment market is experiencing growth driven by an escalating number of government initiatives aimed at promoting agricultural mechanization. Agricultural mechanization involves the application of mechanical and technological equipment, machinery, and techniques to enhance efficiency, productivity, and sustainability in farming operations. Governments worldwide are actively supporting this market through initiatives that encompass subsidies, mechanization promotion, research funding, infrastructure improvement, trade policy influence, sustainability advocacy, and the integration of modern equipment into rural development programs. An illustration of this trend is evident in the UK, where, as of August 2022, the government is offering farmers and growers substantial funding incentives, up to $591,220 (£500,000), to invest in cutting-edge robotics and technology. This financial support is accessible through initiatives such as the Farming Futures Automation and Robotics competition, a component of the government’s $319.25 (£270) million Farming Innovation Program. Consequently, the increasing number of government initiatives endorsing agricultural mechanization is a key driver fueling the growth of the farm machinery and equipment market.

Anticipated as a burgeoning trend in the farm machinery and equipment market, eco-friendly electric tractors are gaining prominence. These tractors utilize electronic batteries, rechargeable through a standard socket, eliminating the need for environmentally harmful fuels that contribute to air pollution. Moreover, some models allow farmers to incorporate renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power to generate electricity for recharging tractor batteries. An illustration of this eco-friendly innovation is exemplified by Solectrac, a US-based tractor company that unveiled the e70N electric tractor in August 2021. This 70-horsepower, 4WD narrow tractor is tailored for substantial agricultural tasks in farms, orchards, and vineyards, boasting a commendable operational duration of up to eight hours on a single charge with its 60 kWh battery. Solectrac offers an optional swappable battery pack for an additional cost of $18,000, aligning with the company's commitment to meeting the rising demand for zero-emission, heavy-duty tractors in the agricultural sector. The adoption of such eco-friendly electric tractors is not only conducive to reducing emissions but also addresses concerns related to noise pollution.

Major industry players are actively developing autonomous solutions to fortify their market positioning in response to the dynamic landscape of the farm machinery and equipment market. Autonomous tractors, characterized by their self-driving or driverless capabilities, leverage advanced technologies including sensors, cameras, GPS, and artificial intelligence to execute diverse farming tasks without direct human intervention. A noteworthy example is Deere & Company, a prominent US-based tractor and machinery manufacturing company, which introduced the John Deere 8R autonomous tractor in January 2022. This cutting-edge tractor integrates multiple stereo cameras, GPS navigation, and geofencing features, enabling it to autonomously perform tasks such as tillage. The incorporation of autonomous technology not only holds the potential to enhance productivity but also addresses the evolving landscape of labor demands in the agricultural sector.

In August 2023, Brandt Industries Ltd., Canada-based grain handling products company acquired Wairarapa Machinery Services Ltd. in New Zealand for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move has broadened Brandt's footprint in the Greater Wellington region, facilitating improved access to parts and services. The acquisition strengthens Brandt's support infrastructure and enables increased community engagement. Wairarapa Machinery Services Ltd. specializes in agricultural machinery sales, services, and parts.
