United States Agricultural Machinery - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2026 - 2031)
Market Report I 2026-02-09 I 105 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
United States Agricultural Machinery Market Analysis
The United States agricultural machinery market was valued at USD 30.2 billion in 2025 and estimated to grow from USD 32.14 billion in 2026 to reach USD 43.84 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 6.41% during the forecast period (2026-2031). Federal incentives for climate-smart practices, precision technology retrofits, and electrification investments help counterbalance cyclical market fluctuations. Equipment owners focus on upgrading capabilities to reduce operational costs and achieve sustainability goals, increasing demand for telematics, predictive maintenance, and autonomous-ready systems. Dealer consolidation improves after-sales service networks, while leasing and subscription options help mitigate the impact of higher interest rates. The irrigation segments demonstrate higher growth rates in the United States agricultural machinery market, driven by increasing water scarcity and stricter emissions regulations.
United States Agricultural Machinery Market Trends and Insights
Widespread Adoption of Precision-Ag Retro-Fit Kits
Retro-fit solutions enable farmers to extend their existing fleet's lifespan while reducing fertilizer and pesticide usage by up to 30% through data-driven improvements. The investment of USD 50,000 per tractor for retrofitting is significantly lower than the USD 400,000 required for new autonomous-ready equipment, typically resulting in a return on investment within three years. Mid-scale row-crop farms increasingly adopt these solutions to maintain cost competitiveness without increasing debt. Equipment dealers benefit from additional service revenue through installation and calibration of retrofit kits, which strengthens customer relationships and improves profitability. The growing adoption of modular upgrades extends equipment replacement cycles, causing Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to shift their focus from unit sales to software and integration services.
Electrification Road-Maps by Major Original Equipment Manufacturers
Deere & Company plans to launch its first all-electric, autonomous-capable tractor in 2026 and has invested in Kreisel Electric for battery supply. AGCO introduced the Fendt e100 Vario to pilot fleets in 2024, supported by a 60% increase in research and development spending focused on electric powertrains. Current battery density limits electric tractors to under-120-horsepower applications, which align with the requirements of fruit, vegetable, and dairy farms. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offers cost-share programs that can cover over 50% of purchase costs, reducing financial barriers for small farms. While manufacturers expect future battery technology improvements to enable higher-horsepower applications, current progress has encouraged component suppliers to expand United States battery and inverter production.
Dealer Technician Shortage
The equipment service industry faces a significant labor shortage. The consolidation of service locations has reduced the number of physical stores, increasing response times during critical planting and harvest periods. Modern precision equipment requires specialized diagnostic capabilities that exceed the skills available in rural labor markets, compelling Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to expand remote support services and implement modular component replacement systems. These labor constraints have led farmers to restrict their purchases of agricultural machinery.

Segment Analysis
Tractors maintain a 50.62% share of the United States agricultural machinery market in 2025, demonstrating their essential role in tillage, seeding, and material handling. The segment's revenue growth stems from high-horsepower models, while compact tractors increasingly incorporate electric drivetrains for specialty farming applications. Irrigation equipment, though a smaller segment, is projected to achieve the highest growth rate at 9.26% CAGR through 2031. Modern irrigation systems, including center pivots, drip lines, and sensor-controlled valves, integrate real-time soil moisture data, reducing water consumption by up to 25%. This growth aligns with Western state groundwater regulations and federal WaterSMART program incentives.
In plowing and cultivating systems, manufacturers incorporate variable-depth tillage technology to reduce soil disruption, maintaining steady growth despite increasing no-till farming practices. Advanced seeding and planting equipment enable precise single-kernel placement, improving emergence rates and supporting precise nutrient application. While harvesting machinery demand correlates with row-crop prices, new combines featuring predictive ground-speed automation improve fuel efficiency and throughput, driving replacement demand. Farmers increasingly opt to upgrade existing equipment with autonomous guidance and variable-rate controllers instead of purchasing new machinery, resulting in parts and digital service revenue exceeding equipment sales. Across equipment categories, sensor systems and ISOBUS-compatible controllers establish brand-independent ecosystems, reducing manufacturer lock-in and requiring traditional manufacturers to provide open APIs to maintain tractor market position.
