Impact of COVID-19: Country lockdown imposed in Thailand during the period April-May, lead to lesser farming activity in the country due to which companies observed a decline in demand of tractors, combine harvesters or rice transplanters in terms of domestic sales leading to an overall decline in the market. In addition to this, dealer outlets and retail stores were being shut, leading to a decline in domestic agricultural machinery sales.

Investment in smart agricultural machinery: Companies have been focusing on production of smart agricultural machinery that uses advanced technologies such as ICT and robot technology, and farm business software that can centrally manage information obtained from these agricultural machines.

Rising demand of two-wheel tractors: Rise in mid-range tractors’ sales is expected to ensure stable growth in revenues of the Thailand agricultural tractor market. Moreover, rising shift from traditional farming to farming through agricultural machinery leading to increasing demand of 2W tractors among small farmers will further contribute the rising sales of tractors in Thailand.

Sale of rice transplanters in Thailand is expected to decline as farmers have been focusing more on purchasing a used rice transplanter or renting a rice transplanter as it has seasonal usage and can only be used to plant rice.
