Farm mechanization market outlook in India
Technavio’s market research analysts have envisaged that the farm mechanization market in India will grow at a rapid pace and will post an impressive CAGR of more than 7% over the forecast period. Farm mechanization provides various economic and social benefits to farmers like a significant improvement in crop yield, as there is a direct relationship between farm power and productivity.
Moreover, farm mechanization also helps in increasing the efficiency of agricultural labor and reducing labor and workloads. It also aids in improving the harvest and reducing post-harvest losses. Such benefits help the farmers to reduce production costs and earn extra income. Furthermore, with the predicted water scarcity in the future, along with the increasing need to ensure food security in the country, the benefits of farm mechanization will be a vital component in shaping the future of the Indian agriculture sector.
Farm mechanization market trends
The increasing adoption of tractors using alternative fuels is one of the significant trends propelling the growth prospects of this market in the coming years. As fuel and tractor technologies have evolved considerably over the years, most tractors now run on liquefied natural gas, CNG, kerosene, vegetable oil, diesel, and propane. Due to the rise in the price of conventional fuels and growing concerns over environmental pollution, farmers are shifting to alternative fuels to power farm machinery. Although bio-diesel tractors are expensive, most farmers prefer them as they provide lower operating costs than conventional tractors.
Farm mechanization market share: Competitive landscape and key vendors
The farm mechanization market in India is highly fragmented owing to the presence of diversified global and regional vendors. However, as the international vendors are striving to increase their footprint in the market, the local vendors are finding it increasingly difficult to compete with them in terms of quality, technology, and pricing. The market has the presence of many vendors that provide plowing and cultivation machinery at lower costs. John Deere, Mahindra, International Tractors, and TAFE are some of the important players in the market. The competitive environment in this market will intensify further with an increase in product and service extensions, technological innovations, and M&A.
