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.

The combines market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $25.98 billion in 2023 to $27.8 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the increased adoption of agricultural mechanization, crop diversification, farm consolidation, technological advancements in combine harvester manufacturing, and improvements in crop yields.
The combines market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $34.56 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the emphasis on sustainable agriculture, the need for climate change resilience in farming practices, the adoption of precision agriculture techniques, and the integration of digital agriculture. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass increased mechanization and automation in combine harvester manufacturing, the continued development of precision agriculture methods, the integration of data management for enhanced decision-making, and a strong focus on environmental sustainability in agriculture.
The transition from manual labor on farms to the mechanization of agricultural processes has significantly contributed to the growth of the combines market. Combines are farm machinery designed to cut and thresh grains, reducing the need for manual labor. In many developed countries worldwide, farm activities are increasingly reliant on the use of such machinery. For instance, in September 2022, an article by Gilbert Ayine Akolgo in Ghana revealed that the availability of tractor power had risen to 0.0588 kW/ha in 2020 and is projected to increase to 0.0752 kW/ha by 2025. This shift towards mechanization has proven to be more cost-effective, with mechanized processes being 21.3% to 53.8% cheaper than manual ones. As a result, the transition from manual labor to farm mechanization is a driving force behind the growth of the combines market in the forecast period.
The increasing demand for crop production is expected to be a key driver for the combines market in the coming years. Crop production is driven by the growing need to cultivate and harvest crops to meet the rising global food requirements. Combines are vital machines in crop production, playing a pivotal role in modern agriculture by efficiently harvesting and processing crops. This contributes to higher yields and improved farming practices. For instance, in December 2022, according to agricultural production statistics from the US-based government organization Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global production of primary crop commodities reached 9.5 billion metric tons in 2021, representing a 2% increase from 2020. This underscores the role of combines in meeting the increasing demand for crop production and, in turn, propelling the combines market.
The fluctuating raw material prices for manufacturing farm machinery, including combines, pose a limitation on the growth of the combines market. The price fluctuations in raw materials are influenced by cost-push and demand-pull factors. For example, steel is a crucial raw material in manufacturing various agricultural tools and farm machinery, and its cost is closely tied to the availability of iron ore and coking coal. Disruptions in the supply chain, such as those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, have led to iron ore shortages, resulting in price increases. Many steel companies in India, for instance, raised their prices for the third time since the start of the pandemic. These price fluctuations in raw materials can impact the selling price of combines, thereby negatively affecting the combines market during the forecast period.
An emerging trend in the combines market is the integration of telematics into farm machinery, signifying technological advancements in the field of agriculture. Telematics is a data transfer system that collects and records work data, tracks, and yield data from connected combine harvesters, tractors, and other agricultural equipment. The collected data can be accessed and evaluated in real-time or retrospectively, either through a dedicated website or exported to common farm management software. For example, companies like CLAAS offer telematics solutions that optimize work processes in real-time, enable yield mapping, and monitor machine performance, all with the aim of enhancing overall machine efficiency.
Leading companies operating in the combines market are actively engaged in the development of innovative products, such as self-propelled combine harvesters, to maximize agricultural yields. Self-propelled combine harvesters are specialized agricultural machines equipped with multiple functions for crop harvesting. They feature their own built-in engine and propulsion system, allowing them to autonomously navigate fields. For example, in October 2021, Swaraj Tractors, an India-based tractor company, introduced the Gen2 8100 EX Self-Propelled Combine Harvester. This harvester, with a power output of 101 HP, offers good ground clearance and a tight turning radius. It includes five straw walkers and a substantial sieve area of 4.72 square meters, minimizing grain loss. Additionally, the harvester features a capacious grain tank with a 2140-liter capacity. Such innovative products are geared toward enhancing agricultural productivity and will likely contribute to the growth of the combines market.
