MARKET STUDY For Agricultral and Construction Machinary Draft
MARKET STUDY
The market study has two components i.e. the global and the local market. In both
global and local market the production, consumption and trade are analyzed in detail.
The global market shows the market share of the producers and traders (importer -
exporter). Hence, it identifies the major competitive countries of agricultural and
construction machinery implements producers and gives valuable information for
countries those need to join similar market. In case of local market, the study
incorporates, the situation of demand and supply, marketing arrangement, marketing
channel of the sector.
By the 2017 the market demand for agricultural machinery implements is projected to
reach $122.9 billion. (Global Industry Analysts, Inc, 2011). The advent of sophisticated
and technologically advanced agricultural machinery and the increase of agricultural
produce demand induce the use of agricultural machineries. Population growth increase
demand for agriculture produce, which in turn, increase the demand for farm equipment.
Economic scenario, weather and demand are among varied factors which induce for the
growth of global agricultural machinery and equipments. Furthermore, increased
utilization of agricultural products in petroleum and pharmaceutical industry is also
contributing to increased demand for agricultural machinery.
Europe is the largest market for agricultural machinery worldwide, worth close to U.S. $23
billion in 2008, (Global Industry Analysts, Inc, 2011). Of the measured sales volumes, over a
third is recorded as being produced in the EU27, whilst a quarter is produced in North America.
China produces 10% and Latin America and India some 15% between them whilst Japan and
Eastern Europe have recently suffered production declines in the face of difficult markets so take
less than 5% each. Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing market and is forecast to emerge as the
largest market by the year 2015. The U.S. is the most advanced regional market with sales
forecast to exceed U.S. $21 billion in 2013. Among product segments, farm tractors is the largest
and the fastest growing market, and is forecast to reach close to U.S. $7 billion by the year 2015.
The market for agricultural machinery is concentrated with the top three players (companies)
being AGCO, John Deere and CNH Global. A high level of globalization complicates the
determination of the exact local content of agricultural machinery manufactured in the U.S. and
other nations. The top three companies are multi-national firms with assembly operations
worldwide, either through subsidiaries or joint ventures. (Global Industry Analysts, Inc, 2011)
Product-wise, Farm Tractors represent the largest segment in the global agricultural
implements and machinery market. Considered as the 'workhorse' of agriculture, tractors
are the most versatile of equipment used in farming.

The renewed interest in the urban development activities such as construction works spanning
across industrial as well as residential and commercial sectors is expected to heighten demand
for construction equipment in the coming years. However, the crucial pull for growth is expected
to emanate from emerging markets such as Latin America as well as Asia-Pacific with large
scale construction activity in the infrastructure, oil refinery, ship building and power plant fronts.
In the Asia-Pacific region China, India, South Korea and Indonesia are key regions for the
construction equipment industry, with China leading the bandwagon and cornering a major
portion of the global demand for construction equipment. Japan, which witnessed one of the
worst natural disasters in recent history, is in reconstruction mode, and the market is expected to
witness high growth in the near future.
Segment-wise, pavers, mixers, and other associated products are forecast to register significant
gains, benefiting from infrastructure development activities in various regions across the world.
The relatively low price of certain equipment such as the small-sized towable concrete mixers,
are also likely to record significant gains in future. Loaders demand is also expected to increase
over the next few years. The excellent versatility of loaders would drive sales as spending on
construction activities continue to increase, particularly in rapidly growing developing nations.
The market is also expected to remain strong for various other kinds of construction machinery
including cranes, graders, excavators, draglines, rollers, off highway tractors and trucks and
individually sold attachments and parts.
As stated by the new market research report on, Construction Equipment, China represents the
largest regional market. Key factors driving industry growth include robust demand generated by
the construction industry and the ongoing construction of new infrastructure projects by the
Chinese government including gas pipelines, expressways and railways.
The global market for Construction Equipment is relatively consolidated with global players
accounting for significant shares in key markets. The Chinese market is highly competitive with
small and medium players targeting the low cost equipment market, while major Chinese players
and international players target the market for technologically advanced products, which
command a premium. Major players in the global marketplace include AB Volvo, Caterpillar

Past efforts of various African governments and donors to accelerate the use of mechanization
inputs have produced mixed results. Compared with other regions, Africa has not had the large-
scale investment in agricultural infrastructure, such as irrigation, or other inputs needed to
intensify crop production. This is partly because Africa is fragmented into relatively small
farming regions and even countries, unlike countries such as Brazil, India and China, which are
large enough to create a critical mass for investment on a sub continental scale. Investment in
mechanization has been limited to large commercial farms or government schemes. In many
cases where governments established tractor-hire schemes to serve small-scale farmers, planning
was very short term and management was poorly trained and poorly supported. Such schemes,
although relatively few across the continent, failed miserably, denting the image of agricultural
mechanization in general. ( FAO, 2008)
Among European and North American farm machinery manufacturers traditionally responsible
for supplying equipment to Africa, two problems have reduced their interest in the continent.
First, the machines they produce are for Western large-scale and capital-intensive farming
markets, and these are increasingly sophisticated, large and expensive. Second, the African
market is perceived as declining relative to two decades ago, hence, not worthy of investing
marketing resources in. On the other hand, emerging economies, especially in Asia, are
producing machines more suited to Africa in terms of both specification and price. What is
needed is for the producers in Asia to adopt the marketing and technical support practices that
hitherto have made European manufacturers highly successful in worldwide machinery
marketing. ( FAO, 2008)
1.3. Market Destination and Segmentation of Agricultural and Construction
Machinery Implements
Both agricultural and construction machinery implements are for home consumption, to satisfy
strong demand of both machineries implements. Agricultural machinery implements is
commonly used by commercial and state owned farm like other African countries while the
construction machinery implements used in construction sector that are construction and building
of residential and commercial houses, infrastructure: road, real way, dam and other
Ethiopia, being one of the less developing nations there is extensive need for basic
material (food, water, shelter etc). The recent fastest growth signifies the improvement
of these basic requirements: food self-suffceinceny, residential house availing and
infrastructure development. Scientific and technologically advanced tools or
instruments are required to sustain the improvement and to boost productivity. Thus,
agricultural and construction machinery implements are parts of the tools needed for
increase of agricultural as well as construction material production.
In Ethiopia, the farm mechanization is commonly practiced in commercial and state farm;
peasants cannot afford machineries for their farm. Hence, the demand for the farm machinery
implements is determined by the hectare of land under commercial and state farm. To come to
the total farm machinery implements requirement amount in Ethiopia, total hectare of land under
private investors or commercial farm and the state farm has to be summed up and multiplied by
the machine hour requirement per hectare for each activities. This study considers only
commercial farm under private investors that is covered by various crops: horticulture, Creels,
Pulse, Oilseeds, vegetables, fruits, palm oil, bio-fuel, cotton, sugar cane, fruit, coffee, and tea.
The total hectare of land under commercial farm that is with various types of crops is presented
in the table 5.8 below.

The second demand scenario is based on the tractor capacity. The farm implements are
determined based on the number of tractor available at farm which is the sum of locally
assembled and imported tractors. Locally only one factory, Nazareth Tractor Assembly, is
engaged in tractor assembling. The installed capacity of tractor assembly is presented based on
the horse power which ranges from 1,500 to 10,000 per annum. and the total production of it is
presented on table 5.13 below.

The construction machinery and implements demand is the driven demand of construction and
buildings sector. The construction and buildings have higher correlation with the income that the
increase income induces the demand for construction and building. The last recent year’s growth
in the construction and buildings sector confirms this fact. Hence, income elasticity uses to
estimate the demand for construction and buildings. In the last recent years the national income
has shown increasing trend as depicted in the table below.
Table 5.13 : national Income ( Millions Birr)
National Income 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 AAGR
GDP 160,218 232,251 316,207 354,573 510,490 0.34
The five years compound average annual growth rate is 0.34 percent per annum.
The construction machinery: concert or mortar mixer and mixer for earth and stone have shown
increasing trend both increased with an average annual growth rate of 2.37 and 0.44 percent
respectively.
Mixer for earth .stone 2,107 257 54,958 1,065 9,174 0.44
The income elasticity of demand which is percentage change in quantity for the percentage
change in income (∆ % GDP/∆% Q) also can be explained as ((LGDP/FGDP)^(1/n-1)-
1)^ ((LQ/FQ)^(1/n-1)-1)
Where ∆ - change
Q- Quantity
L- Last year
F- First year
n- number of years considred
Accordingly income elasticity of CONCRETE OR MORTAR MIXERS will be EI = 0.067/0.34 = 0.20 and
the income elasticity of construction and building machineries ( HS code 8474) will be EI = 0.15/0.34=
0.44 which implies that 1 million increase of income induces for 20 % increase demand for CONCRETE
OR MORTAR MIXERS and 44 % increase the demand for construction and building machineries under HS
code 8474 .
Accordingly the demand for the coming years is forecasted using the obtained income elasticity unit as
follows
