Market Trends of Agriculture Equipment Finance Industry
Rising Demand For Tractors In Agriculture Industry
The market size of the agricultural tractor market is constantly increasing due to the increasing mechanization of the agriculture industry and the need for increased productivity and efficiency. Factors such as population increase, urbanization, food demand increase, and technological innovation in farming practices have contributed to the steady growth of the market size of agricultural tractors.
Labor costs have been rising at an alarming rate due to urbanization and the migration of people into urban areas. Labor costs are directly related to production costs. Mechanization reduces labor wages. As labor wages are rising and there is a shortage of farm labor, the rate of mechanization is increasing. The government is also supporting the increase in farm mechanization to get high yields by offering subsidies. Technological advances are also contributing to the increase in mechanization and increasing awareness among farmers of the advantages of agricultural mechanization.
Rise In The Sales Of Agriculture Equipment In Asia-Pacific
Asia Pacific is one of the largest markets for agricultural machinery. With a large population and high dependency on the agricultural economy, rising disposable income, the governments of emerging countries in the APAC region like India, Japan and China are focusing on cost-effective solutions for high agricultural production.
China is expected to dominate the Asia-Pacific agricultural equipment market in 2023. The country’s high market share is due to its large number of farmers, a large area under agricultural cultivation, growing demand for advanced agricultural equipment due to labor shortage, increasing government initiatives to modernize and mechanize the agriculture sector, and the presence of many agriculture equipment manufacturers.
India and China account for 60% of the farm machinery share in Asia-Pacific. Demand for farm mechanization has been steadily increasing in India and China. The main market drivers are labor shortage, the need to improve farm efficiency, contract farming, government incentives, and a high labor wage. In addition, the Indian government offers subsidies, low import taxes on agricultural equipment, and easy financing programs that encourage farmers to mechanize their farms.
