The agricultural tractors market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for agricultural tractors has experienced solid growth lately. It is set to expand from $78.16 billion in 2024 to $82.29 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%.
This growth in the historical period is due to factors such as the mechanisation of agriculture, the enlargement of farms, rising demands for productivity, the displacement of traditional farming methods, and governmental policies on agriculture.
The agricultural tractors market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, a robust expansion is anticipated in the agricultural tractors market, which is predicted to reach a value of $103.12 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%.
This growth during the forecast period can be linked to the adoption of precision farming methods, increasing global population, emphasis on environmental sustainability, development of agriculture in emerging markets, and the amalgamation of advanced technologies in farming. The upcoming trends during the projected period include the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for managing crops, the transition towards electric and hybrid tractors, improvement of comfort and ergonomics for operators, the utilization of predictive maintenance solutions, and the launch of applications for intelligent agriculture.
The escalating need for compact tractors is projected to drive the agricultural tractors market's expansion in the future. These tiny, farm-specific tractors referred to as compact tractors, are particularly designed for home-owners or hobby farmers with moderate acreage. Essentially, a compact tractor is an agricultural vehicle equipped with a 540 rpm PTO and a three-point hitch compatible for Category 1 equipment exclusively. These tractors play an essential role in different farming activities. To illustrate, in June 2024, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, a US-based Trade association, reported a rise in U.S. sales of 4-Wheel-Drive tractors by 9.4% in May 2024, from the previous year, preceded by a 24% growth in April. Cumulatively, annual sales have increased by 3.2%. Conversely, the general agricultural tractor sales in the U.S. saw an 11.5% reduction, and combine sales encountered a decline of almost 17.7%. Consequently, this surge in the demand for compact tractors is fueling the expansion of the agricultural tractors market.
