Agricultural & Forestry Machinery in Europe industry analysis

Agricultural income, government grants for R&D, demand from supermarkets, logging activity and the world price of steel are key drivers of the performance of the agricultural and forestry machinery manufacturing industry. Over the five years through 2024, industry revenue is forecast to slump at a compound annual rate of 2.9% to reach €77 billion, alongside a contraction of 1.6% in 2024. COVID-19 severely disrupted the manufacturing industry’s complex supply chains and crucial downstream markets, constraining capacity and curbing order volumes. Widespread pessimism about their financial prospects in 2024 is driving key downstream buyers to tighten their purse strings and lower big-ticket purchases. Despite this, demand for spare parts and maintenance remains robust during economic headwinds.
