Planting machines refer to any type of machinery, equipment and apparatus used for industrial activity. The main types of planting machines are planting machinery and fertilizing machinery. Planting machinery refers to an apparatus, equipment, machinery, pipelines, or telecommunication tower fixed to earth by foundation or structural support that are used for making outward supply and includes foundation and structural supports. The machinery used is seed drills, planters, air seeders, and other machinery. The designs are automatic and mechanical. The global planting machines market is segmented - 1) By Machinery: Seed Drill, Planters, Air Seeders, Other Machinery 2) By Design: Automatic, Mechanical 3) By Type: Planting Machinery, Fertilizing Machinery The global planting machines market size will grow from $47.28 billion in 2022 to $51.12 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of the global planting machines is expected to grow to $68.82 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.7%. The workforce shortage in agriculture is expected to drive the growth of the planting machines market. An increase in urbanization followed by an increased high-level literacy rate has decreased the available personnel for farm work. For instance, as per the National Bureau of Statistics China, the rural population has substantially reduced by 23% in the past two decades. In July according to 2021 Farm Journal Labor Survey, as opposed to 30% in 2020, nearly two-thirds (66%) of respondents stated they had ""some"" or ""a lot of difficulty"" finding appropriate employees. According to the 2021 Farm Journal Labor Survey, it is more difficult to fill positions for most farm employers (87%), compared to ag retailers (91%). Major players in the planting machines market are AGCO Corp., Bourgault Industries Ltd., Bucher Industries AG, CLAAS KGaA mbH, CNH Industrial NV, Deere & Co., ISEKI & Co. Ltd., Kubota Corp., Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., and Yanmar Holdings Co. Ltd. Alternative food production methods are anticipated to hinder the planting machine market. New techniques like hydroponics, aeroponics, vertical farming, and lab-grown food have grown and are expected to grow more in the forecast period as an alternative to the traditional method of agriculture. For instance, Future Farms, a Chennai-based start-up reduced water consumption by 90% through hydroponic farms, while increasing yield by around four times. The high yield rate with less area and water, decrease in arable land, and water scarcity further propels the demand for alternative techniques which acts as a major restraint for the planting machines market’s growth. Major players operating in the market are focusing on introducing advanced technologies to decrease cost and boost production. The companies are introducing drones for planting seeds that address the labor shortage and also give higher productivity. For instance, in May 2020, XAG, a China-based company engaged in manufacturing agricultural drones launched a new drone for rice seeding, to relieve the shortage of labor in agriculture. Moreover, in September 2020, Dendra Systems, a manufacturer of global ecosystem restoration tools raised $10 million in Series A to restore the ecosystem by drone. In March 2020, Escorts Limited, a global Indian conglomerate, and automotive engineering corporation operating in Agri machinery, building & material handling, and railway equipment industries has acquired two crore equity shares of Kubota Agricultural Machinery from Kubota Corporation Japan for approximately $11.96 million (INR 90 crore). The acquisition aimed at expanding the product portfolio and geographical presence of Escorts Limited. Kubota Agricultural Machinery is a Japan-based agricultural equipment division of Kubota Corporation Japan that produces planting machines.

Indoor farming technology uses innovations to create an artificial environment inside a closed facility, speeding up plant growth and nutrient uptake compared to conventional farming. It entails using controlled growing and nutrition systems, LED illumination, and layering indoor plant growth. This type of agriculture has the benefits of using less land to raise more food and avoiding chemicals. The main types of indoor farming technology are fruits and vegetables, flowers and ornamentals, herbs and microgreens. Fruit is a seed plant's mature ovary, which is normally generated from a flower. Fruits contain seeds, which help to continue the reproductive cycle. A vegetable is an edible plant or portion of a plant that does not necessarily play a function in the reproduction cycle of the plant. These technologies have components such as hardware, software, services and integrated systems having facilities such as glass or poly greenhouses, indoor vertical farms, container farms, and indoor deep water culture systems.

The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of global agriculture market is expected to grow to $19,007.8 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 9.1%. The world's population is growing and is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. An increase in the population creates more demand for food. According to the Agricultural Outlook by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) published, global cereal production was projected to increase by 13% by 2027. Crop production, farming activities, and trade volumes will have to increase to meet the needs of the increased population. Agribusiness companies will increase acquisitions of arable land to increase crop production. Agriculture companies are expected to increase their presence and activities to meet increased demand from farming activities and increase their growth. Major companies in the agriculture market include Cargill Incorporated, Dairy Farmers of America, Bayer AG, WH Group Limited, Bunge Limited, Wens Foodstuff Group Co. Ltd., Charoen Pokphand Foods PCL, Corteva Inc., Olam International, and Land O'Lakes Inc. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the agriculture market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. As governments imposed lockdowns, farmers faced difficulties in harvesting and marketing their produce. Also, the export of agricultural produce declined significantly as countries imposed restrictions on cross-border trade. The outbreak is expected to continue to hurt businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the agriculture market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. A shortage of labour and increasing demand for advanced agriculture tools in many countries is driving the demand for agriculture robots, or agribots. Agribots are used on farmlands for pruning, weeding, and spraying pesticides and herbicides. They are connected to tractors for spraying water, seeds, pesticides, nutrients, and harvesting. For instance, the Energid Citrus Picking Robot System picks an orange every two seconds from a tree, thus enhancing productivity and thereby limiting the need for agricultural labor. Some of the companies providing ag robots for effective and efficient productivity in agriculture are Small Robot Company, Naio Technologies, EarthSense, HETO Agrotechnics, Harvest Automation, PrecisionHawk, BoniRob, and others.
