Global Planting Machinery Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

Planting machinery are basically mechanised processes, such as seed planting, used for farming activities. The distribution mechanism for planting has been modified by technical advances. Farmers are more likely to use machines rather than human labour for planting. The main types of planting machines are planting machinery and fertilizing machinery. This machinery is basically used in seed drills, planters, air seeders, and other machinery. The designs are automatic and mechanical.

The rising adoption of machines among the farmers across the globe, subsidies given by the government to the farmers for the purchase of machinery and other equipment's, adoption of tilling in which mechanically the soil needs to be prepared so that it can be used for sowing seeds, scarcity of cheap and efficient agricultural workforce is driving the growth of the market.

The Global Planting Machinery Market was valued at USD YY million in 2021. It is forecasted to reach USD YY million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

Market Dynamics: Rising focus on agricultural development is driving the growth of the market

The rising focus on agricultural development across the world represents one of the key factors propelling the growth of planting machinery market. For instance, according to, the World Bank, agricultural development is considered as one of the most powerful tools to finish or end extreme poverty, boost the prosperity, and feed a projected 9.7 billion people by 2050. The growth in agriculture sector or mechanization is 2 to 4 times most effective in raising incomes among the poorest compared to other sectors.

In addition, planting machines leads to the improvement of agriculture sector, modifies social structure in rural areas, introduces commercial agriculture, mitigate farm labour shortages, results in proper farm usage, and gives best returns to the farm income. Thus, all these factors enable the farmers to use planting machineries in the farm to reduce the time and labour which adds to the growth of the market.

Furthermore, growing adoption of machines among the farmers across the globe, and the subsidies given to the farmers by the government for the purchase of machinery and other equipment's, adoption of tilling in which mechanically soil needs to be prepared so that it can be used for the sowing of the seeds, scarcity of cheap and efficient agricultural workforce, along with rising production of food storages are some of the key factors which will likely to propel the growth of the planting machinery market in the forecast period.

Market Segmentation: Seed drill stands for the highest share in global planting machinery market

In 2021, the seed drill segment had the highest revenue share of YY percent. The rise in the scarcity of labor in the agricultural sectors along with growing trend of pneumatic seed drills is driving the growth of the segment. Furthermore, the consistent growth in crop productivity is further anticipated to propel the growth of the seed drills segment in coming years. Also, the rise in the alertness related to the smart farming, technology and mechanization in farmers and the growing of the precision farming in the agricultural sector is further estimated to cushion the growth of the seed drill segment in the market. For instance, according to Medium.Com, in Russia, mechanization helped grow output by 100%, a feat that would not have been possible without mechanization.

Geographical Penetration: North America is the dominating region during the forecast period

In 2021, North America had the highest revenue share of almost YY percent. North America has wide agriculture industry and farmers are increasingly applying mechanization, planting machineries in order increase the soil fertility, productivity and others. In addition, growing support and initiatives from the manufacturers towards sustainable agriculture along with the presence of major market players is expected to propel market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in December 2020, Danone North America, a food & beverage company with a diversified range of dairy and plant-based products is expanding its regenerative farming program, which is presently the most extensive regenerative farming dairy program in the United States. Furthermore, rising government initiatives to promote innovative agriculture techniques, along with increased awareness about the benefits of mechanization, is expected to grow the North America region in coming years.

Competitive Landscape:

The global planting machinery market is competitive and comprises players such as 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. among others. The manufacturers and farmers focus on market potential, investment in research and development, new market initiatives, production, time saving, new product innovations, marketing and awareness programmes, product launch, accurate results, application dominance. These factors help the company to grow which adds to the growth of the market. For instance, in November 2022, Mahindra & Mahindra Farm Equipment Sector (FES), a part of the Mahindra Group, today formally inaugurated its first dedicated farm machinery plant (non-tractor) in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh.

COVID-19 Impact: Positive impact on global planting machinery market

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted economies of various countries and owing to the sudden lockdowns, travel bans, and business close. Agriculture and food are among the key industries that got affected by these intense disruptions such as restrictions on the supply chain and the shutdown of warehouse plants. However, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the investment and innovation in planting machinery that can protect the world's meager farmers from some of the worst effects of the current crisis. Hence, the increased dependence on mechanization and smart farming has improved the lives of many farmers across the world, which would further result in market growth.
