GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
The APAC region is expected to hold the largest share of the global tractor market during the forecast period due to the large number of smallholder farmers and the increasing government support for agricultural mechanization. Innovations in tractors and related technology play a major role across the region. Tractor manufacturers are introducing GPS, automation, robotics, and others to thwart competition from Chinese players who offer their products at a cheaper rate compared to global players. Further, the government actively takes various initiatives to increase farm mechanization in their respective countries. For instance, in the Indian tractor market, the government introduced initiatives such as providing subsidies to farmers under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana and through subsidies by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) to support the market growth.
The North American tractor market represents a high level of farm mechanization. The farmers in the region, both from the US and Canada, are wealthy and have sufficient money to invest in agricultural machinery, such as tractors. In addition, the farmers in the region also benefit from easy credit loans to purchase agricultural machinery. Moreover, the European tractor market holds a significant share of the global market. Europe's agriculture sector is characterized by diverse landscapes, climates, and agricultural practices across its member countries. It plays a crucial role in providing food security, contributing to rural economies, and shaping the continent's cultural heritage.
