Report Overview

Global Tractor Market- Industry Trends & Forecast Report 2028

The global tractor market was worth USD 67.4 billion in 2021 and is further projected to reach USD 98.0 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period (2022-2028). The global tractor market is growing owing to increasing farm mechanization rates, increasing automation in the agriculture industry, rising labor costs, seasonal labor shortages, and shorter tractor replacement cycles. Digital farming, growing acceptance of organic farming, integration of AI in tractors, and the launch of self-driving and electric tractors are expected to present multiple growth opportunities for the growth of the global tractor market during the forecast period.

Tractor Overview:

Tractors are vehicles designed to deliver high torque at a slow speed. These are used extensively in the agriculture industry. Apart from agriculture, tractors are also used in mining and construction. Tractors come in many shapes and sizes and are used for various purposes. Tractors are constructed differently, using different components and engines, according to their application, type of drive, and exact use.

Global Tractor Market Forecast and Trend

Growth Drivers

The growing demand for organic food products is expected to propel the growth of the global tractor market

Organic farming is on a rise around the world and the demand for organic products is growing steadily. Many farmers have shifted from conventional farming to organic farming and it has greatly affected the outlook of the agriculture industry. Organic farming does not allow the use of any fertilizers and pesticides, therefore the use of agricultural tools like tractors, sprays, harvesters, and combine harvesters, is essential to maintain the soil in topnotch shape.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the area earmarked for organic cultivation grew from 15 million hectares in 2000 to 71.5 million hectares in the year 2018. It indicates that there has been a rising trend for the consumption of organically produced goods over the past years. According to the Organic Trade Association, sales of organic food products increased by 12.8% in the US in 2020 with fresh organic produce sales witnessing a growth of 11% and frozen organic fruits and vegetable sales increased more than 28%. The growing demand for such organic products has led to more and more farmers transitioning to organic farming, creating a demand for tractors and other agricultural equipment and supporting the growth of the global tractors market during the forecast period.

Opportunity

Emergence of Driverless and Electric Tractors

Various companies are testing and launching driverless or autonomous and electric vehicles for various applications and on the same note, various companies like Deere & Co., Sonalika, and others have launched electric tractors. Sonalika has already launched its electric tractors in the market for commercial use. These electric tractors are not only cheaper than conventional tractors, but also require less maintenance. Additionally, these are suitable for primary farming, and have fewer moving parts. Moreover, the growing investment in renewables around the world presents a lucrative outlook for electric tractors during the forecast period.

Driverless or autonomous tractors are part of precision farming techniques. Agricultural machinery manufacturer Deere & Co., has announced its plans to launch driverless-tractor in the market in 2022. These advanced tractors are capable of taking decisions regarding turn, speed, position, and other activities. GPS and laser technology are used to control these tractors. High accuracy, improved efficiency, low production cost, and increased productivity are some of the benefits of such driverless tractors that are expected to create a growing demand for these tractors in the coming years and present opportunities for the growth of the global tractors market. 

Impact of COVID-19 in the industry

The COVID-19 had had a negative impact on the global tractor market. The companies faced difficulties in the manufacturing and production of tractors due to issues in timing, procurement of raw materials & equipment, lack of labor, and travel bans. Tractors sales also went down by 7.6% in the United States, by 4.9% in Europe, by 11.5% in India, by 6.2% in the Russian Federation, and by 28.8% in Japan. As the markets reopened, the demand for tractors surged towards the end of 2020.

Tractor demand dropped again during the second wave of COVID-19 as many countries again went into lockdown. India is one of the largest tractor markets around the world and sold 900,000 tractors in 2020-21, as per the data released by the top tractor companies of India.

The sales have gone down in December 2021 due to the emergence of the Omicron variant of the COVID-19; however, the sales are expected to recover swiftly in the coming months.

Global Tractor Market: By Horsepower

Based on horsepower, the global tractor market is bifurcated into below 40 HP, 40 HP - 100 HP, and more than 100 HP. Below 40 HP segment dominates the market and held the largest share in the global tractor market in 2021 owing to the high demand in agriculture-based economies like India and China. Low cost, minimal maintenance needs, and ease of operation are some of the other factors that contribute to the dominant share of the below 40 HP segment in the global tractor market.

Global Tractor Market: By Wheel Drive

Based on wheel drive, the global tractor market is categorized into 2 WD and 4WD segments. In 2021, the 2 WD segment dominated the market and held a larger share owing to high penetration among farmers in developing countries like India, Brazil, Thailand, Bangladesh, and others. The 4 WD segment is expected to register a faster growth rate during the forecast rate owing to the growing demand for heavy and high power tractors from mining, agriculture, and construction industry.

Global Tractor Market: By Mechanism

Based on the mechanism, the global tractor market is segmented into electric tractors, hydraulic tractors, and hybrid tractors. Hydraulic tractors dominated the market in 2021 and held the largest share; however, electric tractors are expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the cost-effective nature of the electric tractors. Moreover, less maintenance, high efficiency, a smaller number of moving parts, and ease of handling are other factors expected to support the high growth rate of the electric tractor segment during the forecast period.

Global Tractor Market: By Application

Based on applications, the global tractor market is classified into agriculture, construction, mining, forestry, and others. The agriculture segment dominated the market and held the largest share in the global tractor market in 2021 owing to the significant use of tractors in the agriculture industry. Tractors are used to perform operations like crop cultivating, plowing, tilling, sowing, and harrowing, in the agriculture industry, which drives the growth of the segment.

Global Tractor Market: By Region

Based on region, the global tractor market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa. In 2021, the Asia-Pacific region dominated the market and held the largest share owing to the presence of the leading tractor manufacturing companies like Mahindra & Mahindra and Sonalika, several agriculture-based economies, and large cultivated land. Additionally, India is the world's second-largest agricultural nation, with several programs for rural development and agricultural modernization, supporting the region's dominant position in the global tractor market.
