4WD Tractor Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report, by Application, by Horse Power and, by Propulsion : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032

The four-wheel-drive (4WD) tractor comes with a four-wheel-drive axle that distributes power to all four wheels. This system enables the tractor to operate across all types of terrain and soil conditions. Also, in 4WD tractors, all four wheels are driven which provides speed, less slippage, and better performance. Even weight distribution on both the front and rear axle prevents the front end of the tractor from lifting or raising during heavy workload on the rear. Moreover, these tractors are utilized in a wide range of applications such as harvesting, straw reaping, puddling, and agriculture material handling, in the agriculture sector as they are also extensively employed in construction and mining industries. Moreover, countries with a significantly large percentage of their land comprise uneven lands and mountains are witnessing an increase in agricultural activities. 

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 scenario analysis:

• During the COVID-19 outbreak, the agriculture sector has already seen a sharp dip in the business and the most affected business could be the tractor dealership network.
• The lockdowns aimed at containing the spread of the COVID -19 pandemic have significantly impacted the demand sentiments across consumer segments and is expected to lead to a sharp contraction in the agriculture sector.
• The industry consisting of farm equipment manufacturers' original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their distribution centers should review with a new strategy, innovation, and digital technologies to tackle the upcoming challenges.
• India’s tractor industry is in for some good cheer this year as The supply of tractor parts has been normal with no impact, and growth in tractor sales.
• In addition, the demand for tractors is also expected to strengthen on the back of a robust Rabi output and prevailing crop prices.

Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers and Impact Analysis 

Some of the factors including rise in demand for agricultural products and a surge in applications in mining and construction industries globally drive the demand for 4wd tractors during the forecast period. However, increase in number of accidents during the transportation of heavy loads in farms or industries have challenged the driver safety norms, which is anticipated to hamper the growth of the market. Furthermore, the bright growing future of mountain agriculture is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period.

The 4wd tractor market trends are as follows:

Rise in demand for agricultural products 

The rate of adoption of agricultural equipment is considerably high in developing and developed countries where agriculture is a major contributor to their respective economies, which in turn boosts the rate of harvesting. Moreover, increase in the population fuels the demand for agricultural products consistently, which further boosts the demand for powerful tractors with 4WD. Presently, farmers require large and more powerful tractors for heavy applications in farming to boost agricultural yield. This, in turn, is estimated to propel the demand for 4WD tractors during the forecast period. 

Rise in applications in mining and construction industries 

Apart from farming applications, presently, tractors are being extensively used to transport heavy loads in the mining and construction industries. Owing to the increased infrastructure, construction, and mining activities, the Mining and Construction Equipment (MCE) industry across the globe is growing at a fast pace. This is because the mining and construction industry requires a wide range of machines to perform a variety of tasks such as preparation of the ground, excavation, haulage of material, dumping/laying in a specified manner, and others. Therefore, the increase in requirement for superior performance tractors and machinery is anticipated to drive the demand for 4WD tractors during the forecast period.
