Summary and extracts
1 Market summary
1.1 Introduction and definition
Agricultural machinery and equipment emerged gradually at the end of the 19th century , following the agricultural revolution in France (replacement of animal traction by motorized traction to modernize French agriculture). The term is used to describe all the machines and equipment used in agriculture (tractors, combines, etc.) to increase agricultural productivity. Agricultural machinery can be used for a variety of purposes, such as :
- Tractors
- Soil cultivation
- Planting
- Harvesting
- livestock rearing
The global market is expanding rapidly, driven by growing food demand due to a rising population and shrinking arable land, forcing farmers to increase productivity.
France is a world leader in agricultural equipment : it is Europe's 3rd largest producer. After a contraction in activity in 2020, agri-equipment production will reach record levels in 2021, with a market worth 5.5 billion euros, according to AXEMA.
