Combines Global Market Report 2026

Combines refer to the equipment used in the manufacturing of combine harvesters, which are versatile machines designed for the efficient harvesting of various grain crops. The focus here is on goods and services that are traded between entities or sold to end consumers.

The primary product types of combines include self-propelled, tractor-pulled, and PTO-powered combines. Self-propelled combines have their own means of propulsion and come in various movement types, such as crawler-type and wheel-type. These combines are categorized by their power capacity, which can be below 150 HP, 150-300 HP, 300-450 HP, 450-550 HP, and above 550 HP.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are affecting the combines market by increasing the cost of imported powertrain components, hydraulic systems, electronic assemblies, and fabricated metal structures. Manufacturers in Europe and North America are particularly impacted due to dependence on cross-border component sourcing, while Asia-Pacific producers face export pricing challenges. These tariffs are raising manufacturing costs and affecting global competitiveness of combine producers. At the same time, they are supporting domestic production expansion, encouraging regional supplier development, and accelerating investments in vertically integrated manufacturing strategies.

Major trends in the forecast period include increasing production of high-horsepower combines, rising demand for modular combine platforms, growing integration of smart control systems, expansion of hybrid and efficient powertrains, enhanced focus on operator comfort.

The rising demand for crop production is expected to drive the growth of the combine market in the coming years. Crop production refers to the increasing need to cultivate and harvest crops to meet global food demands. Combines are vital machines in modern agriculture, efficiently harvesting and processing crops, which contributes to higher yields and improved farming practices. For example, in January 2024, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that rice production in 2023 reached 218 million cwt, marking a 36% increase compared to 2022. The planted area for 2023 was estimated at 2.89 million acres, reflecting a 30% growth from the previous year. Consequently, the rising demand for crop production is propelling the combine market.

Companies in the combine market are focusing on innovations such as enhanced automation and precision farming technologies to boost harvesting efficiency, increase crop yields, and reduce operational costs. Precision farming technologies are transforming crop management, and their integration with modern combines significantly improves harvesting productivity. As demand for sustainable, data-driven agricultural practices grows, the combine market is adapting by incorporating these technologies, enabling farmers to make informed decisions that optimize yield while minimizing resource use. For instance, in June 2024, John Deere, a US-based manufacturer of agricultural machinery and equipment, launched the T6 800 walker combine. This model integrates advanced features from the S7 and X9 Series, including enhanced automation and precision ag technology, allowing for improved data collection and analysis to support better farming decisions.

In January 2025, Yanmar Holdings Co., Ltd., a Japan-based provider of agricultural machinery and related solutions, acquired CLAAS India Private Limited for an undisclosed amount.
