In order to improve the efficiency of land use and crop yield, there is a rise in farm mechanization which has directly led to the growth of the combine harvester market. The demand for combine harvesters is primarily from farmers with large landholdings.
North America Dominates the Market
The scarcity of labor and the rising labor costs in North America coupled with the need to replace old machinery with the new one is fueling the region to adopt the new technology and enhance the productivity and efficiency of the crops grown in North America. Also, the erratic climate condition in this region is driving the market for combine harvesters owing to their high operational efficiency. The United States holds the major share of the combine harvesters market in North America.
