Combine Harvesters Market Trends to Witness Adoption of Self-propelled Combine Harvesters in Various Agricultural Operations

Combine Harvesters Market to Grow Steadily with Heightened Uptake in Agriculture Sector

Worldwide, the agriculture sector contributes a significant proportion to the GDP of any country. Also, the various governments of developed as well as developing economies are focused on improving operations in the agricultural landscape.

For that certain schemes are to be offered by them like loans, subsidies, and credit schemes to support farmers in acquiring agricultural equipment. Agricultural mechanization becomes a key trend to increase cropping intensity, where combine harvesters remain frontrunners.

Combined harvesters are being used in the agriculture sector to perform major operations like reaping, threshing, and winnowing in a single process. Moreover, based on power type, 300-450 HP combine harvesters are expected to attract a large consumer base owing to its better price to performance ratio along with a lower level of maintenance.

Owing to these factors, Fact.MR opines that 300-450 HP segment will contribute 30% of the revenue share by 2026 end, thus propelling global combine harvesters market to reach a valuation of US$ 18 Bn by the end of the forecast period.

Growth in Agriculture Equipment Industry to Lead to Higher Demand Growth

There has been a persistent increase in the adoption of agricultural equipment with a view to ensuring a greater return on investment (RoI). This also creates a more sustainable business structure for farmers.

However, the adoption of agricultural equipment including combine harvesters still remains unsatisfactory in several regions around the globe, particularly in developing countries owing to its exorbitant price tag. To address these issues, governments in these countries are introducing policies that are directed towards providing farmers with better access to modern agricultural equipment.

Furthermore, the agricultural sector is growing rapidly. On the same scale, farmers are using modern technologies to perform harvesting operations within a smaller interval of time. This has further impacted the overall crop output, in turn leading to higher farm incomes.

According to Fact.MR, 250-350 bu and more than 350 bu grain tank sizes were nearly the same in 2018. However, it is estimated that by the end of the forecast period, 250-350 bu segment will lead in the combine harvesters market by capturing US$ 8 Bn in the global revenues.

North America to Occupy Half of Global Revenues

As the global demand for combine harvesters grew by a single-digit percent per year, developed countries such as the US registered a countable combine harvesters market revenue shares in the global landscape.

In the last few years, in the US and Canada, extensive training programs have been implemented for farmers to educate them to adopt agriculture equipment, which has further strengthened the combine harvesters market.

Mid-horsepower range combine harvesters are witnessing considerable growth in adoption as North American farmers continue to cultivate small pieces of agricultural lands. Within the next decade, North America’s combine harvesters market is foreseen to exhibit revolutionized adoption of self-driving combine harvesters.

Advanced sensors and GPS-enabled technologies will be equipped with combine harvesters to promote their unmanned operability. On the back of the aforementioned factors, Fact.MR reveals that North America will contribute half of the global revenue shares and the trend will continue over the forecast period.

Renowned Players are Adopting Novel Strategies to Attract a Large Consumer Base  

The existence of numerous large and mid-sized companies has led to a fragmented market structure. The market players are continuously seeking opportunities for refining their production techniques and enhancing efficiency & innovation.
