GROWTH DRIVERS

The subsidies and support provided by governments worldwide in order to support farmers for purchasing modern agricultural equipment’s, including these tractor implements, is one of the significant drivers of the market. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), global support for agriculture increased from USD 720 billion in 2018-20 to an average of USD 817 billion annually between 2019-21. Moreover, the World Trade Organization (WTO) permits certain types of support, such as direct payments to farmers who limit production, and government assistance programs to encourage rural development in developing countries.

The rise in global food demand drives the need for efficient agricultural practices, driving the need for more farming activities, which includes the utilization of these implements, contributing towards market growth. The United Nations projects that the global population will reach 9.7 billion by 2050, necessitating a 70% increase in food production. Tractor implements are essential for achieving this goal by enhancing farming efficiency and productivity. The US Department of Agriculture report describes how increasing population, income, and agricultural productivity may affect global production and consumption of crops and food products by 2050. Results show that in an income-driven food demand scenario, production of world crop calories increases by 47 percent from 2011 to 2050.

Demand for food calories and crop calories increases over time in all scenarios. The rise in large scale farming or commercial farming operations fuels the demand for high capacity and efficient tractor implements in order to cater to a vast and diverse landscapes. According to Bentoli, today, commercial agriculture is a major part of the global economy, supplying most of the world's food and raw materials for other industries. According to APX Construction Group, the world relies on commercial agriculture to supply the vast majority of its food, as well as a significant portion of raw materials for various industries. The global population is growing, the demand for food and agricultural products continues to rise, creating an opportunity.

The rapid agricultural development in emerging economies drives the growth of tractor implements. According to the World Bank, The African agricultural economy is the fastest growing across all continents, witnessing a 4.1% growth from 2000-2020 compared to 2.7% worldwide. By 2050, the food industry in Eastern and Southern Africa is expected to see an 800% increase in the value of food, and trade in processed foods could increase by up to 90%. Africa at large will be a USD 1 trillion food market by 2030, with consumption in cities driving the demand for more products. The agriculture and food sector accounts for 15% of the GDP of countries in Eastern and Southern Africa in 2020.

Tractor Implements Market Segment By Product Type Review:

Plows are essential for initial soil preparation, cutting, lifting and turning over the soil in order to create suitable seed bed before seeding. The seeders and planters are used for precise planting of seeds at proper depth and spacing, which enhances the crop yield. The harvesters facilitate efficient crop harvesting, which reduces the labor and time requirements. The spreaders are vital for evenly distributing fertilizers and pesticides, helping in healthy crop growth. The balers compress the harvested crops into compact bales. It simplifies storage and transportation, whereas mowers are used to cut grass and other crops, maintaining the fields and preparing fodder. The tillers and harrows break up and refine the soil, improving its structure for planting. The cultivators are employed for secondary tillage which controlling the weeds and aerating the soil.

Tractor Implements Market Segment By Application Review:

The digging implements are essential for creating holes for planting trees or installing irrigation systems. The blowing implements are used to turn and aerate the soil. It helps to prepare the seedbed before seeding, which is one of the fundamental steps for planting. The sowing implements ensures precise seed placement at optimal depth and spacing. It is crucial for uniform crop emergence and high yield growth. The cultivating implements are employed for secondary tillage in order to control the weeds, mix soil nutrients and promote soil erosion. The harvesting implements streamlines the process of collecting mature crops from the field. It helps in reducing labor cost and time, while increasing the efficiency of the work.

Tractor Implements Market Segment By Power Review:

Hydraulic tractor implements are tools that use hydraulic systems to move, rotate, and shift in a uniform and waste-free manner. Hydraulic systems convert and transmit power from the tractor's engine to the implements. They offer precise control and high efficiency, which enables smooth operation and the ability to handle heavy duty tasks with ease. On the other hand, the unpowered implements do not rely on hydraulic power, but are mechanically operated, often driven by the tractors power take off or through ground contact.
