Cotton Harvester Market Dynamic

Driver- Increasing consumption of cotton-related products globally

Cotton farming is increasing because of the declining cotton fiber prices and increased adoption of the material over polyester by textile mills in countries such as China. Leading countries in cotton consumption are Vietnam, Bangladesh, China, the US, and India. According to the USDA, global cotton consumption has increased by approximately 6% in 2021 (25.9 mt) compared to 2020 (20.2 mt).

Thus, an increase in cotton consumption, along with the surge in the purchasing power of consumers across the globe, is expected to drive an increase in the consumption of goods made of cotton. The applications of cotton include apparel such as T-shirts and shirts, trousers, dressers, and innerwear. It is also used for home furnishings such as in-bed linens and industrial uses such as medical supplies, industrial thread, wall coverings, and zips. These applications are expected to drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.

Trends- Integration of the latest technologies in cotton harvesters

Cotton must be ginned to remove seeds and trash after being rolled into cylinders. For easier tracking of bales in the ginning process, passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags can be fitted on the bales. This facilitates the tracking of each bale from the field until it reaches the ginning facility. Research on technologies for automating cotton harvesting with robots is ongoing. For instance, Green Robot Machinery-manufactured robots can distinguish cotton bolls from plants without any manual interventions. The robot has an arm that has six degrees of freedom and uses image processing to identify cotton balls and pick them. This robot needs human intervention to an extent while picking cotton. 

Furthermore, cotton Incorporated, a not-for-profit research and marketing organization, has been developing a technology for picking cotton with the help of autonomous flying bots. These bots can be used in the replacement of cotton harvesters that cost about 100 times that of a single bot. Other advantages of the bot over-harvesting machines are they can be used for other farming applications with quicker picking times while preventing soil compaction. These factors are expected to contribute to the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.

Challenge- Limitations with climate conditions for cotton harvesters

Cotton harvesters can be broadly categorized into pickers and strippers. While strippers can remove the stems from the harvested crop, pickers remove individual cotton bolls that are open. Cotton plants are planted in multiple rows. The rows are separated from each other by furrows wherein the water is flooded for irrigation. The average size of a cotton field varies among countries. The mechanism of cotton harvesters requires standard-sized rows for extracting the cotton bolls from plants. However, in countries such as India, wherein the land is smaller than that in the US, the rows are spaced more compactly. This requires cotton harvesters designed for performing in compact rows.

Additionally, other issues with cotton harvesters are that they pick cotton during two harvesting months, and then they must remain idle for the rest of the year. Furthermore, other operating conditions for the harvesters also require flatlands, cotton plants at a certain height from the ground, and low moisture content in cotton bolls, which is limited to a certain which will curb the growth of the global cotton harvester market during the forecast period.

Cotton Harvester Market Segmentation by Product and Region

Product Segment Analysis:

The cotton picker segment will account for a major share of the market's growth during the forecast period.? 

Customised Report as per your requirements!

The cotton picker segment was valued at USD 1,717.00 million in 2018. Cotton pickers, except handheld varieties, have spindles or prongs that revolve around the axis to pick cotton. These revolving spindles extract cotton only from the open bolls and leave the unopened ones. Pickers do not damage plants or unopened bolls. These machines require more than one pass for extracting all the cotton on the field when the crop growth is not synchronized. The height of cotton-picking machines can be adjusted for picking cotton bolls from both the long and short plant varieties. Handheld cotton pickers, self-propelled cotton pickers, and tractor-mounted cotton pickers are the multiple types of cotton pickers available in the market.

Furthermore, one of the key advantages of a cotton picker over a cotton stripper is that the former does not require the exfoliation of all cotton bolls. Exfoliation is the process of removing leaves from cotton plants with chemicals called defoliants or desiccants. Defoliation reduces the trash material in the cotton that the picker machine harvests. Pickers have higher cotton-picking speeds than strippers. Thus, the segment is expected to grow in the global cotton harvester market during the forecast period.

Regional Analysis

For more insights on the market share of various regions Download Sample PDF now!

North America is estimated to contribute 38% to the growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period.  In the past, countries such as China, India, and Pakistan had low mechanization in cotton harvesting and primarily depended on alternative low-cost manual labor available in the region. However, the adoption of cotton harvesters has been increasing in the region. This is primarily because of increasing government support in the form of subsidies to farmers to purchase agricultural equipment.

Additionally, like China, India is the largest producer of cotton in the world. Growth in cotton production can happen due to higher yields on farms. This can be achieved through the use of cotton harvesters. The current practices involve the time-consuming manual picking of cotton, which can take up to five pickings for a complete harvest. Besides Deere and Company, local vendors such as Captain Tractors, Mahindra, and Mahindra and Adventures provide handheld cotton pickers in the country. Therefore, all these factors fueled the demand for cotton harvesters in this region, propelling the growth of the market in focus in this region during the forecast period.
