A combine harvester is a substantial agricultural machine designed for harvesting grain crops such as wheat, corn, and soybeans. It performs multiple functions, including reaping, threshing, and winnowing, significantly enhancing the efficiency and speed of harvesting operations in farming.
Two primary types of combine harvesters include the tractor-pulled or PTO-powered combine harvester and the self-propelled combine harvester. The tractor-pulled or PTO-powered combine harvester operates by connecting to a tractor through a power take-off (PTO) system, allowing the tractor's engine to power and tow the harvester. This type is commonly used in small farms, diversified farms, and fields with varying accessibility. Combine harvesters come in different variations, such as wheel-type and crawler-type, categorized based on their movements and available in varying sizes classified by their horsepower (HP). These sizes range from below 150 HP, 150-300 HP, 300-450 HP, 450-550 HP, to above 550 HP. They are utilized for harvesting various crops, including wheat, rice, soybeans, and other similar grains.

The combine harvester market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $58.32 billion in 2024 to $60.79 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to mechanization in agriculture, increasing farm sizes, labor shortages, government support and subsidies, global population growth, crop diversification
The combine harvester market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $72.69 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for food production, smart farming practices, focus on sustainability, global expansion of precision farming, farm consolidation and agribusiness. Major trends in the forecast period include precision agriculture technologies, technological advancements, climate-resilient harvesting technologies, energy-efficient harvesting, predictive maintenance solutions.
The growing demand for agricultural production is anticipated to drive the growth of the combine harvester market in the future. Agricultural production involves the cultivation of crops and the rearing of animals to produce food, fiber, and various other products. This process includes activities such as soil cultivation, planting, harvesting, livestock breeding, and resource management. A combine harvester is a crucial piece of equipment in agricultural production, particularly in large-scale farming operations, as it provides numerous advantages that enhance farming efficiency, speed, and ease. For instance, in February 2024, the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, a UK-based government department, reported that the UK's Total Income from Farming (TIFF) increased by $1.2 billion (£1.1 billion) (17%) from the previous year, reaching $8.6 billion (£7.9 billion). Total crop output saw a notable rise of $2.6 billion (£2.4 billion) (22%), totaling $14.5 billion (£13.3 billion), largely fueled by a 50% increase in the value of wheat, which saw a 35% rise in unit price. Therefore, the increasing demand for agricultural production is driving the growth of the combine harvester market moving forward.
The combine harvester market is expected to witness growth driven by the increased food demands of a growing global population. The escalating requirements for food resources, propelled by a continuously expanding population, highlight the significance of efficient agricultural practices. Combine harvesters contribute to addressing this demand by optimizing crop harvesting processes, reducing labor requirements, and enhancing overall efficiency in the agricultural sector. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau in September 2022, the resident population of the United States experienced a 0.4% increase, reaching 333,287,557 in 2022. This population growth underscores the urgency to meet rising food demands, making combine harvesters pivotal in achieving enhanced productivity and sustainability in agriculture.
The combine harvester market is experiencing a significant trend of technological advancements, with companies adopting new technologies to strengthen their market position. In June 2022, Deere & Company, a leading US-based machinery manufacturing company, introduced high-capacity X-series combine harvesters (X9 1000 and X9 1100). These harvesters incorporate Precision Ag technologies, collecting crucial machine and yield data to enhance harvesting outcomes. Equipped with advanced features, these devices automatically adapt to changing conditions, maximizing grain harvesting efficiency while minimizing loss or damage. The X9 1100, for example, can harvest up to 7,200 bushels of high-yielding corn and 30 acres of robust, high-yielding wheat per hour.
Major players in the combine harvester market are actively focused on developing innovative products to elevate productivity, as demonstrated by the Gen2 8100 EX self-propelled combine harvester. Launched by Swaraj Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., an India-based manufacturer, this harvester boasts a power output of 101 HP, a spacious grain tank with a 2140-liter capacity, and features such as five straw walkers and a sieve area of 4.72 square meters to minimize grain loss. Introduced in June 2022, the Gen2 8100 EX Self-Propelled Combine Harvester is specifically designed to enhance productivity, performance, and operational ease for paddy farmers. It efficiently harvests rice, wheat, and soybeans, ensuring the reaping, threshing, and winnowing of grains with minimal loss and breakage.
In August 2024, Yanmar Holdings Co. Ltd., an industrial equipment manufacturer based in Japan, acquired CLAAS India. This acquisition aims to accelerate the growth of Yanmar's Agribusiness in India by integrating a company recognized for its world-class facility and a strong legacy of producing high-quality, durable combine harvesters.
