Tractors & Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing in the US industry analysis
Over the past five years, tractors and agricultural machinery manufacturers have experienced significant challenges. Initially, low interest rates boosted equipment sales, but as the Federal Reserve raised rates to curb inflation, borrowing costs increased, reducing demand for new machinery and equipment. The industry has also been affected by volatile crop prices and supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These issues, along with trade tensions and the dollar's appreciation, have led to a decline in industry revenue. Revenue is estimated to fall at a CAGR of 4.4% over the five years to 2024, reaching $37.6 billion, with a 0.8% decline in 2024 alone. Technological advancements like GPS tracking and precision farming have improved farm productivity, but their high costs have limited widespread adoption.
Trends and Insights
- Rising interest rates have reduced demand for new agricultural machinery. As borrowing costs increase, farmers find it more expensive to finance new equipment, impacting sales and profitability for manufacturers.
- Demand for farm machinery and equipment is rising due to the growing global population and advancements in technology. Farmers are turning to more efficient and advanced machinery to increase productivity and adopt precision farming practices.
- The Plains is a prime location for agricultural machinery manufacturers due to its high concentration of farms. The ample open spaces and supportive government policies make it an ideal place for large-scale manufacturing establishments, particularly those producing tractors and other farming equipment.
- Stringent environmental and safety regulations create significant barriers to entry into the agricultural machinery manufacturing industry. Compliance with these laws and standards can be both costly and time-consuming for new manufacturers.
