Tractors have become the backbone of modern farming, helping farmers perform multiple agricultural tasks quickly and efficiently. From land preparation to harvesting, tractors reduce manual labour, save time, and increase overall productivity. They can perform tasks like ploughing, tilling, sowing, spraying, and transporting crops, making farming more profitable and less labour-intensive.

India’s tractor industry has achieved a historic milestone by crossing 1 million domestic tractor sales in FY2026, marking one of the strongest years for the sector. According to industry data, over 1,057,000 tractors were sold in the first 11 months of the financial year, showing around 23% growth compared to last year.

The Agricultural Tractors Market in Europe is evolving rapidly, driven by technological integration and sustainability mandates shaping modern agriculture.

The global agriculture equipment market size is expected to reach USD 236.04 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Shortage of labor worldwide particularly in Western Europe and the U.S. will play a key role in driving the adoption of agriculture equipment over the forecast period. Furthermore, shortage of labor in the field of agriculture equipment and telematics to monitor tractor performance and improve farm yield is also anticipated to propel the growth of the market. Apart from advancements in the agriculture equipment space and shortage of labor shortage, the growing population to meet the global food requirements will also be a major factor, increasing demand in the long term.

Agriculture Equipment Market Report Highlights

Favorable government initiatives to reduce the financial burden on farmers or incentivize agriculture equipment purchase will also be a major factor driving the growth of the market. For instance, the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) and Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PMKSN) schemes in India aimed at offering financial assistance to low-income farmers. Apart from schemes supporting agricultural activities in the emerging economies, COVID-19 pandemic assistance from developed countries/regions, such as the United States and European Union in 2020 eased the financial burden of farmers in 2020. For instance, the announcement of the Pandemic Assistance for Producers initiative in the U.S (2020) and negotiations on European Union Common Agricultural Policy in Europe (2021).

The COVID-19pandemic hampered the growth of the market for agriculture equipment in H1 2020. A government-imposed lockdown and stringent regulations impeded business activities worldwide, including the agriculture equipment industry, consequently impacting sales. Several key players in the market, including AGCO Corporation, Deere & Company, and KUBOTA Corporation reported a dip in sales from Q1 2020 to Q2 2020. Although the year 2020 witnessed a slight dip, it was offset by the economic revival post-Q2 2020.
