Global baler market was worth USD 5.1 billion in 2019. It is projected to grow at an 8.9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2020 and 2027. Baler is an agricultural tool that can be used to bail hay or compress raked and cut crops. The market is driven by technological advancements in agriculture that aim to improve farm yield and meet growing food demand. The market will be driven by a rise in balers demand from the Asia Pacific region over the forecast period. Due to increasing adoption of livestock farming around the world, the demand for balers will grow. Globally increasing livestock production is due to rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and changes in lifestyles.
Agricultural balers are crucial in providing feed for livestock animals. They also provide convenience for farmers by facilitating transportation, storage straw and hays and making sure that livestock have enough food. Balers are becoming more popular in livestock farming due to the many benefits they offer.
In the next seven year, market growth will be driven by rising demand from Asia Pacific. The growing demand from the region is due to the increasing investments made by the government and OEMs into advanced mechanization in India, Australia, Southeast Asia. Regional demand is driven by the growing demand for technological innovations in the agricultural sector.
Market growth is hampered by high maintenance and purchase costs. Due to the high initial cost of large balers, especially in developing countries like India and China, it is difficult for farmers to afford balers for agriculture. Some farmers find it difficult to adopt balers due to a lack of technical knowledge associated with baler maintenance. Round balers are labor-intensive and require a well designed feeder process. The straw from the crops can become loosening if the hay becomes too dry. This makes it difficult to clean the equipment.
Many countries imposed strict lockdown measures after the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe, the market saw a slight dip in 2020. The market saw a decrease in sales due to a total shutdown of production facilities across China, Europe and the U.S. during the first quarter. Despite the fact that the companies have begun operations, sales are expected to be lower throughout the year. Recent results from companies in the market indicate that the market is on the verge of a resurgence. They may also continue to grow at an accelerated pace beginning in 2021.
In 2019, the round balers segment accounted for 55.2% of all revenue. Mini round bales require less power than square bales. This is why they accounted for 55.2% of the total revenue in 2019. Round balers are popular with farmers because they are simple to use and require fewer adjustments. Round balers are preferred by farmers who store bales for longer periods of time because they have a higher resistance to weather than square bales.
The square balers segment can be further divided into two types: small and large squarebalers. In 2019, the small square balers made up 59.76% of total square balers' shipments. Large square balers, however, had a higher revenue share due to their high purchase prices. Because they are efficient in operation, large square balers are widely used on large-sized livestock farms.
Asia Pacific was responsible for 36.7% of the total revenue in 2019. This is due to the presence in the region of key market players such as IHI Corporation, Kubota Corporation and Mahindra & Mahindra Limited. Market growth is expected to be driven by the region's growing livestock farming. Balers are in high demand in this region due to the large area of agricultural land and the growing use of mechanization in agricultural processes.
In 2019, the European market held a significant volume share. The government's initiatives to encourage machinery use in agriculture are driving balers demand in the region. CLAAS GmbHaA mbH and CNH Industrial N.V. have contributed to the region's growth. The forecast period will see the region grow due to large farming operations and technological advances in agriculture.
There is intense competition in the market among key players with a global presence. To maintain competition, market players resort to inorganic growth strategies such as mergers and acquisitions to increase their product range. CNH Industrial AV, an Australian manufacturer of agricultural implements, acquired K-Line AG in November 2019. This acquisition allowed CNH Industrial AV to increase their agricultural product portfolios through the New Holland Agriculture and Case IH brands.
Baler manufacturers are also investing in new products with better features than their competitors. CLAAS KGaA mbH, for instance, announced in April 2020 its ROLLANT fixed-chamber round balers in the baler market. New balers have a stronger chassis and can be wrapped with net or film. Kuhn SAS also launched the VB7100 series of high-performance round balers in July 2019. This is a great option for large farmers and contractors who want to create dense bales.
