Agriculture Tractor: Market Dynamics

The sale of agriculture tractor in developed countries in 2016 witnessed a decline of an average of (15­–20%) due to various factors such as a slowdown in world economic growth, cyclic factors (earlier boom in the agriculture sector in 2012 in many developed countries), and decreased commodity prices. However, the outlook for 2017 remains strong, and the sale of agriculture tractor in developed economies is expected to register a moderate growth rate.

Advancement in agriculture tractor technology such as the use of telematics and GPS, and the increased use of precision farming is going to accelerate the sale. Further, increased farm mechanization in emerging economies and increased replacement demand for agriculture tractors in Western Europe and North America are among the other driving factors of the market.
