How Did the World’s Leading Tractor Markets Perform in 2025?
In a year of sharp contrasts, tractor sales delivered very mixed results around the globe. Most of the major markets closed the year in the red.
2025 was not an easy year worldwide for the tractor business (and agricultural machinery in general).
A large share of the most relevant markets showed declining sales figures, with some cases reaching historic lows for the sector.
However, there were also cases of significant growth, such as India, which consolidated its global leadership in the segment with nearly 1.2 million tractors sold.
