Japan is the third-largest economy and a highly industrialized country in the world. The agriculture sector contributes only 1.4% to the country’s GDP and as low as 12% of the land is suited for agriculture in the country. Being a highly industrialized country, Japan’s agriculture equipment industry is also quite developed. However, to fully utilize the limited arable land, the Japan agriculture equipment market is expected to witness a surge during the forecast period.
According to 6Wresearch, Japan Agriculture Equipment Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% during 2019-25. The market saw a downward trend until 2018 due to heavy floods that adversely affected the agriculture sector across various regions in the country. Due to these floods, the agriculture output got deteriorated, farmers did not get a good price for their crops, as a result, farmer’s income fell and their purchasing power went down during 2015-2018.
However, the market is projected to grow at a slower pace from 2020 onwards since the farming population is aging continuously in the country and the dependence on farm machines is expected to increase rapidly.
Amongst all the products, tractors acquired the highest volume share in the overall Japan agriculture equipment market in the year 2018 and would continue to maintain its dominance during the forecast period as well. Moreover, less than 30 HP tractor is the major contributor to the total volume of tractors in Japan owing to decreasing farm size in the country and increasing government support to small farmers over large farmers. Power tiller is the second-largest volume contributor to the Japan agriculture equipment market.
The Japan agriculture equipment market report thoroughly covers the market by product types and by HP range. Japan agriculture equipment market outlook report provides an unbiased and detailed analysis of the on-going Japan agriculture equipment market trends, opportunities/ high growth areas, market drivers, which would help stakeholders to device and align market strategies according to the current and future market dynamics. Japan agriculture equipment is quite developed as compared to another country. In the past year, Japan also facing difficulty in agriculture farmland. For Japan substituting farm labor and mechanization of agriculture is important for agriculture. Rice is the major crop in Japan. Japan agriculture is increased through urban areas. Due to these urban areas demanding for more agriculture.
