The decline extends a three-year contraction cycle in one of the world’s five largest tractor markets, following a steep drop already recorded in 2025.

According to data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK), tractor registrations totaled 6,331 units in the January-March 2026 period, down 49.6% from 12,536 units registered in the same quarter of 2025.

The downturn follows an already weak performance last year. Turkey’s tractor market is estimated to have reached 41,000 units in 2025, representing a 35.5% decline compared with 63,546 units sold in 2024, according to the latest Global Tractor Markets report published by Maquinac (English Edition).

Three Consecutive Years of Decline

Turkey’s tractor market has now posted three consecutive years of declining sales after reaching a historic peak in 2023, when registrations climbed to 77,901 units.

The sustained contraction highlights the sharp correction underway in a market that had previously experienced exceptionally strong demand levels.

Market Context

Despite the current downturn, Turkey remains one of the largest tractor markets globally, making the scale of the decline particularly significant for the international agricultural machinery industry.

The rapid fall in registrations suggests a major adjustment phase following the record volumes achieved in 2023.
