How Increased Non-Agricultural Application to surge the sales of Global Tractors?

Over the years, the use of tractors for non-agricultural purposes has grown quite significantly. Apart from farm operations, the tractors are being increasingly deployed in construction areas, road making, brick kilns, sand mines and even for commutation purposes.

Increased construction and mining activities in various parts of the world is driving gains in the global market and the trend is likely to grow further in the projected future. The demand for tractors in countries such as India and China has escalated partly due to their increasing use in construction and mining activities in these countries. The extended economic boom and increased per capita income in the many of the South Asian and Latin American countries has led to an expansion of large scale industries such as construction and mining.

How the Growth in Agricultural Equipment Industry Creating Opportunities for Tractors?

There has been an insistent increase in the implementation of agricultural equipment with a view to ensure good return on investment. This also produces a more viable business structure for farmers. However, the purchase factor of agricultural equipment including tractors still remain unsatisfactory in several regions of the world, particularly in developing countries.

To address the issues, governments in developing economies like India and Brazil are presenting policies that are directed for better access to modern agricultural equipment for farmers. Moreover, farmer subsidiary on equipment cost, improved availability of credit, emergence of contract farming, focus on maximizing productivity and opportunity for employment in urban areas is proving an impetus to the agricultural equipment industry.

How High Cost and Lack of Skilled Labor Impacting the Global Market?

With the changing consumer requirements, tractor designs have also evolved. But, improving equipment design involves heavy investments in research and development, which often makes the finished-product expensive.

The manufacturers face the challenge of reducing the overall cost of manufacturing. From a farmer’s point of view, product efficiency is important but the affordability matter the most.

The cost remains one of a major factors that impact the sales of global tractors. Meanwhile, the lack of operating knowledge of end-users is also emerging as a hurdle for the global tractors market. Increase sophistication of tractors has added more operation complexities in them.

Country-wise Analysis

What is the Regional Outlook for U.S based Tractor Market?

As the regional demand for tractors grew to a single-digit percent per year, developed economies such as the U.S registered a counterbalance with strong economic recovery. Mid-horsepower range of tractors are being witness a considerable growth in adoption as U.S farmers continue to cultivate small pieces of agricultural lands. Within the next decade, U.S market will exhibit a revolutionized adoption of self-driving tractors.
