Farm equipments or agricultural equipments refer to the machineries and equipments which facilitate the agricultural operations to increase the yield as well as quality of crops. Agricultural equipments are available for all functions across the agricultural value chain. Some of the important ones include tractors, levelers, ploughs, drills, seeders, planters, transplanters, harrow, tiller, sprayer, plough, harvester, thresher, digger, reaper, graders, cleaner, and huller. Amongst all the categories, tractors hold the major share in terms of sales, followed by harvesting machinery.

With the increasing mechanization and rising awareness regarding the importance of farm equipments for increasing yields as well as for doing operations in less time and with more ease, the market for farm equipments has been increasing for the past years. The market although declined in 2009, mainly due to the global economic slowdown which engulfed the global economy in late 2007, but with the recovery of the economy, the farm equipment market also started increasing in 2010, and is further expected to increase in the coming years. With the increasing population, and rising standard of living, the demand for food is likely to increase in the coming years. In order to meet this increasing food demand, owing to the limited arable land availability, there is a need for improvement in technologies, which can be attained by increasing mechanization in agriculture, which would in turn lead to growth in the demand for agricultural equipments.

The European Union is the largest market for agricultural equipments, followed by North America, China and India. The global market for agricultural equipments is highly competitive and consolidated with top three players, controlling more than half of the market.

Apart from analyzing the global market for agricultural equipments, the report also presents the four regional markets, European Union, North America, India and Brazil in detail. The report analyzes the major factors which are likely to drive the agricultural equipments market in the years to come. Some of the major issues and challenges of the industry are also discussed here. The competitive conditions and the market position of the major companies in the global as well as some of the major regional markets is also discussed in the report. Along with this, the three top players, John Deere, CNH Global and AGCO Corporation, are profiled here.

By combining SPSS Inc.’s data integration and analysis capabilities with our relevant findings, we have predicted the future growth of the farm equipment industry. We employed various significant variables that have an impact on this industry and created regression models with SPSS Base to determine the future direction of the industry. Before deploying the regression model, the relationship between several independent or predictor variables and the dependent variable was analyzed using standard SPSS output, including charts, tables and tests.
