India Tractor Market Dynamics

Major Trends

• The increasing use of smaller tractors for performing specific agricultural tasks is a key trend being observed in the Indian tractor market.
• Small tractors are increasingly being used for different activities, such as mowing grass, cleaning up the piles, and hauling. This helps in increasing the efficiency of the farming activities, as a particular tractor is assigned to perform a specific task.
• Additionally, it helps reduce the cost for the farmers, who can now buy the tractor for serving their specific purpose only, without hampering the utility of the larger tractors.

Growth Drivers

• One of the major drivers for the growth of the Indian tractor market is the constant expansion of the agricultural industry in the country. In India, one of the primary sources of livelihood is agriculture, on which over 70% of the rural population is solely dependent.
• India is the largest producer, consumer, and importer of pulses, accounting for 25%, 27%, and 14%, of the worldwide shares, respectively, in 2017–2018. Further, the country is the second largest producer of vegetables and fruits in the world and one of the major countries producing paddy, wheat, groundnut, rapeseed, tea, jute, cotton, and tobacco leaves.
• Thus, with the high magnitude of agricultural activities in the country, the demand for allied vehicles, specifically the tractor, is also expected to surge.
