Pre-harvest Equipment Market: Global opportunity analysis and industry forecast, 2020-2027

Pre-harvest refers to the harvesting activities on the field before the crop products are sold in the market. The pre-harvesting equipment are the equipment that are used for the agricultural production and the growth of the crops. . The pre-harvest equipment includes tillage equipment, irrigation equipment, planting and fertilizers equipment and other such equipment's. The pre operational checks using the pre-harvest equipment is necessary for the farmers to increase the productivity and profitability. The planting and tillage equipment holds the largest market share in the pre-harvest equipment.

Market scope and structure

COVID-19 scenario analysis:

• The demand for the pre-harvest equipment is expected to decrease in the year 2020 due to lockdown imposed by the government and low demand from agricultural industries.
• COVID-19 pandemic has shut-down the production of various products in the harvesting equipment, mainly owing to the prolonged lockdown in major global countries. This has hampered the growth of the pre-harvest equipment market significantly form last few months, as is likely to continue during 2020.
• COVID-19 has already affected the sales of equipment and machinery in the first quarter of 2020 and is likely to cause a negative impact on the market growth throughout the year. 
• The major demand for equipment and machinery was previously noticed form giant manufacturing countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, the UK, and China, which is badly affected by the spread of coronavirus, thereby halting the demand for equipment and machinery.
• Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on its cash reserves. Equipment and machinery companies can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players would have to modify their investment plans.
• Equipment and machinery manufacturers must focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond toward immediate crises and find new ways of working after COVID-19 infection cases start to decrease.

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

The increase in demand for the food production owing to increase in the population is expected to boost the market of pre-harvest equipment. the increasing demand for the advanced technology  equipment’s by farmers for reducing the labour cost associated with the harvesting is expected to boost the growth of preharvets equipment. The increasing profitability and productivity due to use of modern farm equipment's has created a demand for the pre-harvest equipment's in the farm. The Asia-pacific region countries like India and China are expected to hold a large market share in the pre-harvest equipment during the forecast period. The Europe pre-harvest equipment market is expected to show a significant growth in terms of revenue due to increasing consumption of food and increasing agricultural machinery. However, the lack of awareness among the farmers can hamper the growth of the market. Contrarily, the growing focus on innovations and research activities on modern harvesting equipment's can provide new pathways to the growth of the pre-harvest equipment market.

New product launches to flourish the market

The launch of new technologically advanced pre-harvesting equipment’s is gaining popularity for harvesting purposes among the farmers. On October 2019, one of the global leader in pre-harvest and seeding equipment AGCO corporation has launched a new tilling control system under the brand name Sunflower tillers. The sunflower control system are used to maintain the seedbed conditions for higher crop yield, controlling the planting depth and monitoring the tillage activities in the farm. The sunflower control systems includes the vertical tillage tools, high speed rotary equipment and disc harrows. The sunflower control system is also used in maintaining the soil conditions in the field for the crop production and harvesting.

High demand from tillage application :

The pre-harvest equipment holds a major share in the agricultural applications. The pre-harvest equipment is segmented into primary tillage equipment, secondary tillage equipment, planting and fertilizers equipment and irrigation equipment. The primary tillage equipment such as terracers, rotary tillers, chisel plough are used to break the soil in depth for improving the soil condition for crop production and harvesting. The tillage equipment provide optimum environment for seed germination and plant growth and helps in achieving perfect soil conditions for harvesting. The secondary tillage equipment includes harrows, pulverisers and rollers that are used to destroy the grasses and weeds in the agricultural field. Thus making the harvesting process easier for the farmers. Further, the fertilizers equipment is also used as a pre-harvest equipment. The fertilizers equipment such as wheel hoe, cono weeder, power weeder are used in the removal of weeds from the paddy crops thus easing the harvesting process.
