Current Scenario of the Global Pre-Harvest Equipment Market

Farm operations are timely performed, and the quality of agricultural commodities produced by the use of machinery is better. Further, the workload is reduced, and it also brings about a change in the characteristics of agricultural practices. The Agriculture industry is presently facing many challenges: producing more food to feed the rapidly growing population with a waning labor force. Without the use of agricultural equipment, it is likely to become very difficult to sustain the needs of this growing population. However, lately, there has been innovation in chemicals, fertilizers, and seeds, which empowered agricultural producers to try to meet the steadily rising demands of the world population. The use of pre-harvest equipment is likely to help farmers improve their production capacities to reduce the widening gap between demand and supply of agricultural produce. But despite successes in agricultural productivity, the challenges for the agricultural industry to supply the growing global economy with adequate supplies of agriculture are greater than ever before.

The tillage and planting equipment are the major segments, capturing nearly 60% of the total market share. The production of self-propelled equipment has shown incredible growth in the last two decades because of its increased use by farmers, facilitated by simplicity in the application. The Planting Equipment accounts for 30% of the total market. Steadily increasing the use of pre-harvest equipment worldwide in order to increase production capacity and efficiency is the cause of the observed market growth. Moreover, increasing awareness among farmers and several government initiatives, especially in developing economies, are anticipated to increase the demand for the market in the coming few years.

MARKET DRIVERS

The pre-harvest market is driven by linked advantages such as enhanced farm yield and lessening labor requirements. Other factors propelling the demand for the industry include increased consumption of food due to population growth, augmented farm mechanization level, and rising income of middle-class farmers in developing nations. Additionally, several government initiatives and subsidiaries provided by them, especially in developing economies, are projected to augment the global pre-harvest market throughout the forecast period. But still, the lack of awareness and hefty cost of farm equipment, are the major challenges in the growth of the market. Primary restraining factors for the agricultural equipment market are the small and fragmented land holdings in various parts of the world.
