Global All Wheel Drive (AWD) Tractor Market 2017-2021

Global outlook of the global all-wheel drive (AWD) tractor market

Technavio’s market research analysts predict that the global AWD tractor market will grow steadily during the next four years and in terms of units, will post a CAGR of nearly 4% by 2021. This industry research report identifies the advantages of using AWD over 2WD to be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of this market in the coming years. AWD tractors offer better performance when driven on a farm with hilly terrains as all the four wheels pull the tractor ahead, making it easier to climb difficult terrains. Also, an AWD tractor is fitted with a ballast on the rear wheels assisting in lowering slippage and improving steerability. These tractors offer great traction and pulling power for the large combination of farming equipment that can be easily attached to the tractor. This, in turn, reduces the time span needed for cultivation and planting and also lowers the number of passes made on a farm with large farm equipment. This will avoid soil compaction and result in increased profits and farm yields.

In India, tractor manufacturers are planning a strategy to set up a robust sales network in agriculture-intensive states, such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, and Jharkhand, where low-powered engines are in high demand. It has been observed that around 86% of the farmers in India have fragmented land holdings (less than 5 acres of land). This makes it not feasible for farmers to purchase high-priced and high-powered engine tractors, as smaller lands cannot meet the operational costs of these tractors. Such factors will induce farmers in APAC to focus more on procuring tractors that have a horse power of less than 20 and 50-60, which will be one of the major trends that will gain traction in the AWD tractor market.
