New York City, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/22/2017 -- Asia Pacific continues to be the largest market for agriculture equipment, with nearly 2,669 thousand units sold in 2015. North America is the other leading market for agriculture equipment.

The key factors fuelling demand for agricultural equipment include,

Steadily increasing demand for food remains a key macro factor impacting the sales of agricultural equipment. The world population is projected to increase at over 30% by 2050. This is putting pressure on governments to improve agriculture production mechanisms.
Government incentives and investment schemes remain a key factor for growth, as offering sops to farmers in resource-intensive countries. For example, in India, Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana is supporting farmers to purchase agricultural equipment at subsidised rates.
Even in conservative societies, a paradigm shift from manual to professional based agricultural work is being observed. This is contributing to increased demand for agricultural equipment.

Although the global agricultural market is anticipated to witness a steady growth, it is expected that inflation in power and fuel rates can stifle growth. Further, overproduction of commodities can negatively impact the growth of the market.
