The combines market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The overall dimension of the combines market has seen robust expansion in the past few years. It is expected to escalate from $27.3 billion in 2024 to $28.71 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%.
Factors such as agricultural mechanization, crop diversification, farm consolidation and technological developments, as well as increased crop yield are seen as influential contributors to the growth observed during the historic time period.
The combines market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The aggregated market size is anticipated to witness substantial growth in the ensuing years, expanding to a staggering $35.28 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%.
The acceleration during the forecasted period can be traced back to several factors such as sustainable farming practices, resilience in the face of climate change, precision farming, and digital farming. Key trends during the forecasting timeframe encompass mechanization and automation, precision agriculture, unified data management, and environmental sustainability.
The transition from manual labor on farms to their mechanization has fueled expansion in the combines market. A combine is an agricultural machine designed to reduce manual labor by cutting and threshing grains. In various developed nations worldwide, most agricultural activities are performed using such machinery. For example, as per an article by Gilbert Ayine Akolgo in Ghana in September 2022, tractor power availability showed an increase, reaching 0.0588 kW/ha in 2020 and is expected to rise further to 0.0752 kW/ha in 2025. It has also been found that mechanized activities are 21.3% to 53.8% more cost-effective than manual ones. This trend of moving away from labor-intensive practices towards mechanization propels the combines market's growth in the forecast period.

Advancements in technological innovations such as the use of telematics in agricultural machinery are expected to be a rising trend in the merged market. Telematics, a system that transmits and logs work data, tracks, and collects yield data from linked agricultural machines such as combine harvesters, forage harvesters, and tractors. The amassed data can be evaluated and accessed in real-time or retrospectively through the TELEMATICS web portal using various devices such as a desktop, laptop, smartphone, or it can be imported to any widely used farm management software. For instance, to enhance machine efficiency and optimize the work process in real-time, CLAAS provides telematics for yield mapping and machinery monitoring.
