In 2023, 43.51 percent of the workforce in India were employed in agriculture, while the other half was almost evenly distributed among the two other sectors, industry and services. While the share of Indians working in agriculture is declining, it is still the main sector of employment. A BRIC powerhouseTogether with Brazil, Russia, and China, India makes up the four so-called BRIC countries. They are the four fastest-growing emerging countries dubbed BRIC, an acronym, by Jim O’Neill at Goldman Sachs. Being major economies themselves already, these four countries are said to be at a similar economic developmental stage -- on the verge of becoming industrialized countries -- and maybe even dominating the global economy. Together, they are already larger than the rest of the world when it comes to GDP and simple population figures. Among these four, India is ranked second across almost all key indicators, right behind China. Services on the riseWhile most of the Indian workforce is still employed in the agricultural sector, it is the services sector that generates most of the country’s GDP. In fact, when looking at GDP distribution across economic sectors, agriculture lags behind with a mere 15 percent contribution. Some of the leading services industries are telecommunications, software, textiles, and chemicals, and production only seems to increase – currently, the GDP in India is growing, as is employment.

The Indian agricultural machinery market presents a compelling growth story, projected to reach $13.08 billion in 2025 and maintain a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.69% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key factors. Firstly, increasing government initiatives promoting mechanization in agriculture are driving demand for advanced equipment. Secondly, the rising arable land under cultivation and the growing need for efficient farming practices, especially in the face of labor shortages, are creating significant opportunities for manufacturers. The market's segmentation reveals strong demand across various product categories, including tractors, harvesting machinery, and planting and sowing equipment, with tractors currently dominating the market share. The application outlook shows substantial growth across land development, harvesting, and sowing and planting activities. Leading players like Mahindra & Mahindra, Escorts, Deere & Company, and international giants like AGCO and CNH Industrial are actively shaping the market through strategic partnerships, technological advancements, and expansion of their product portfolios. However, high initial investment costs for machinery and the limited access to credit for smallholder farmers pose challenges to broader market penetration. Despite these restraints, the market's future trajectory remains positive. Technological advancements, such as precision farming techniques and the integration of AI and IoT in agricultural machinery, are creating new avenues for growth. Furthermore, the government's emphasis on improving rural infrastructure and providing better access to finance is expected to further propel market expansion. The increasing adoption of sustainable farming practices and the growing awareness of the importance of efficient resource utilization will also create demand for specialized machinery designed for sustainable agriculture. Therefore, the Indian agricultural machinery market is poised for considerable expansion driven by technological innovation, supportive government policies, and the evolving needs of a growing agricultural sector.
