Market Trends of Combine Harvesters Industry

Labor Shortage and Rising Cost of Farm Labor

The factors expected to augment the demand for combined harvesters are growth in the urban population and industrialization, which led to a shortage in farm labor, thus pushing the farmers to employ machinery for harvesting. Farmers are increasingly adopting agricultural mechanization as a substitute for manual labor since they are a more cost-effective, easily available, and more efficient means of agricultural operation.

According to the Indian Council of Food and Agriculture, the percentage of agriculture workers in India is estimated to decline by 25.7% in 2050, leading to the increasing demand for agricultural equipment, including combined harvesters. Farm mechanization saves time and labor, cuts down crop production costs in the long run, reduces post-harvest losses, and boosts crop output and farm income.

North America Dominates the Market

The scarcity of labor and the rising labor costs in North America, coupled with the need to replace old machinery with new ones, are encouraging the region to adopt the new technology and enhance the productivity and efficiency of the crops grown in North America. The erratic climate conditions in the region are driving the market for combined harvesters due to their high operational efficiency.

The United States holds a major share of North America's combined harvesters market. Agriculture is a major occupation in the United States, where the mechanization of farming is considered an important reason for increased productivity, sales, and export. The technological advancements are directed toward the use of combined harvesters in agricultural fields.
