Combine Harvester Market Report 2026

The combine harvester market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $59.89 billion in 2025 to $62.28 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in large-scale farming operations, rising labor shortages in agriculture, increasing mechanization of harvesting processes, availability of advanced harvesting machinery, expansion of commercial farming practices.

The combine harvester market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $74.16 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing adoption of autonomous and semi-autonomous harvesters, increasing use of data-driven farming solutions, expansion of smart agriculture investments, rising demand for sustainable farming equipment, continuous improvements in harvester efficiency. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-capacity self-propelled harvesters, rising integration of precision agriculture technologies, growing demand for fuel-efficient harvesting equipment, expansion of multi-crop harvesting capabilities, enhanced focus on yield optimization.

Rising demand for agricultural production is expected to drive the growth of the combine harvester market in the coming years. Agricultural production involves cultivating crops and raising livestock to produce food, fiber, and other products, including activities such as soil preparation, planting, harvesting, livestock management, and farm resource management. Combine harvesters play a crucial role in large-scale farming operations by making harvesting faster, easier, and more efficient. For example, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), a U.S.-based government agency, corn yields rose from 173.4 bushels per acre in 2022 to a record 177.3 bushels per acre in 2023, an increase of 3.9 bushels per acre. Therefore, growing demand for agricultural production is supporting the expansion of the combine harvester market.

Key players in the combine harvester market are focusing on advanced solutions, such as real-time machine tracking and operational parameter monitoring, to improve harvesting efficiency, reduce grain loss, and enhance crop quality. Real-time machine tracking allows operators to monitor live location, fuel consumption, and acres harvested, helping optimize operational decisions and maintenance schedules. For instance, in August 2023, Swaraj Tractors, an India-based farm machinery company, launched the Swaraj 8200 Wheel Harvester, featuring an intelligent TREM-IV engine, live machine location access, service and engine health alerts, and ergonomic operator design. This solution maximizes acreage per hour, minimizes grain loss, and provides personalized support through dedicated relationship managers and app-based video assistance.
