Market Trends of Turkey Agricultural Tractor Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Turkey Agricultural Tractor Market according to our research experts:
Significant Domestic Manufacturing is Contributing to the Market Growth
- Turkey has a sizeable domestic production base for tractors. Only a few major market players are engaged in the production of tractors. Eight manufacturing plants supply the bulk of the tractors for domestic markets and exports.
- The domestic market for tractors has been steadily increasing on account of the increased value generated by the country's agricultural businesses. The factors that have contributed to a favorable economic scenario for investments in production include the availability of a cost-competitive and skilled labor force, competitive electricity and fuel prices, and a beneficial tax regulatory structure for the industry.
- The Turkish economy experienced a significant slowdown in the second half of FY 2019 due to both currency tensions in August 2018 and the restrictive monetary policy adopted to contain inflation. This resulted in a decline in tractor manufacturing.
- However, the Turkish government provides VAT exemption on imported and locally manufactured machinery (parts of tractors) for production. The favorable factors related to the investment scenario and a robust historical production base have helped maintain tractors' prices. This is expected to drive the Turkish agricultural tractor market's growth.
