The market encompasses a wide range of machinery crucial for modern farming operations, from farm tractors to sprayers and harvesters. With the rising population and increasing food consumable needs, agriculture equipment plays a pivotal role in threshing and harvesting, agro-processing, and distribution of fertilizers. Advanced equipment integrates IoT for precision farming, utilizing computer sensing to optimize tasks like seeding, spraying fields, and tilling fields. From specialty tractors for vineyard management to self-propelled spreaders for agro-based fuel application, these tools enhance efficiency and productivity while addressing challenges like soil nutrients and temperature of the soil for sustainable land development and maintenance. At the job site, the backhoe was used for harvesting crops and breeding cows, alongside feeding livestock, with fabricated elements contributing to operational efficiency.
The global rural population largely comprises the agricultural sector. There is an increasing trend of migration of labors from rural to urban areas, which raises the issue of a labor shortage in the countries such as India and South Africa. Rural areas in the US face acute shortages of agriculture labor, especially in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Also, many local workers are not interested in doing farm-related work, which has increased labor shortages. Thus, the labor shortage has gradually increased the labor cost in the country over the years. This has increased the demand for agriculture machinery even by small farmholders. Agriculture equipment offers efficient and time-saving farming.
Moreover, precision farming and fully automated farming adopted with the help of farming machines eliminate human interruption; thus, errors are also decreased. Such instances help farmers in yielding a high output of crops. Furthermore, easy access to this machinery encourages farmers to buy farming machinery. Therefore, farmers are switching toward capital-intensive resources for agricultural activities. Therefore, the demand for agriculture equipment is generated, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Artificial technology (AI) is an emerging technology in the field of agriculture. AI-based agriculture equipment has taken the agriculture system to another level. AI technology has enhanced crop production and improved real-time monitoring of crop yield, irrigation, soil content sensing, crop- monitoring, weeding, and harvesting. The modern-day technology of automated systems involves the use of agricultural robots, and drones have made a remarkable contribution to the agro-based area. For example, Self-driving means automated tractors, which could feature autonomously and maximum commonly known as 'Driverless Tractors'.
Further, potential applications of AI in farming lead to optimized usage of fertilizers, crop protection, and seeds. The cost of fertilizers and other crop protection chemicals exponentially rises, simultaneously increasing the demand for farm machines that could decide how much fertilizers are needed and reduce the wastage of such costlier chemicals. For instance, the increasing demand for agriculture equipment is significantly influencing the Argentina agriculture market, driving advancements in farming practices and boosting productivity across the region. Thus, such factors are expected to drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The various types of equipment used in agriculture include tractors, harvesting tools, mower conditioners, tillage tools, and other farming equipment. But many times, this is highly expensive, so not every farmer can afford to purchase it. The demand for agriculture tools renting services is driven by the high cost of maintaining modern agricultural equipment and the high cost of buying it. Utilizing rental services allows farmers to offset the expense of maintaining their agriculture tools while making a profit. Leasing agricultural machinery allows farmers to harvest their crops on schedule without having to make a sizable down payment on necessary agriculture equipment.
Furthermore, the renting of farm machinery hinders the unit sales of new agriculture equipment and, thus, hampers the profitability of agriculture equipment. These losses have long-term repercussions as agriculture equipment has a product replacement cycle of nearly ten years. Such services in the market are likely to limit the adoption of agriculture equipment, which will hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market encompasses a wide range of machinery and tools essential for various farming activities. These include tractors, combine harvesters, irrigation systems, mowers, and backhoes. As agro-based economies rely heavily on efficient farming practices, the demand for automation technologies to replace traditional farming methods and reduce dependence on the human workforce is growing. Factors such as commodity prices and weather patterns significantly influence the adoption of agriculture equipment, impacting land yield and the cultivation of crops like rice, wheat, maize, sugarcane, and oilseeds.
The tractors segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The demand for tractors will be driven by the rising preference for more sophisticated, larger, and more powerful models, many of which incorporate new technologies and amenities that contribute to their higher prices. On the other hand, the demand for smaller, specialized tractors for specific applications is also rising, which will have a restraining effect on value gains in the market.

The tractors segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 58.92 billion in 2018. The tractors included in this segment are wheeled and crawler types. Wheeled models of tractors will continue to gain popularity because of the simplicity of their design and the advantages that they provide over other tractor types under certain conditions. Additionally, wheeled tractors cost significantly less than many crawler-type machines. Tractors are classified based on their horsepower (HP). Small tractors with a capacity of less than 35 HP are used on small farms. Medium tractors with a capacity of 35-50 HP and big tractors with a capacity of more than 50 HP are used on large farms. Factors such as the growing shift toward mechanization and the decline in the number of people engaged in the agriculture industry are driving the adoption of tractors. Thus, increasing demand for tractors will drive the segment and market during the forecast period.
Based on the product type, the market has been segmented into tractors, harvesters machinery, planting equipment and others. The product segment will account for the largest share of this segment.?Agriculture equipment is machinery used in agricultural works to save labor, cost, and time and to get a high crop yield. A few manual agriculture tools used under each stage include Land preparation: Several tasks need to be completed at this point, including preparing the soil bed, loosening the soil, and getting rid of weeds and clods to grind the soil. Currently, staple food products such as wheat, maize, and rice account for a major part of global calorie intake and, thus, require a significant increase in their production. Meat and milk are also important constituents of global food intake. Thus, a consistently increasing global population will drive agricultural activities, which, in turn, is expected to have a positive impact on the segment and market during the forecast period.
