The market was fuelled by accommodative financing, growth in the agricultural industry and increased awareness towards farm machine mechanization in the space. The market, however, showcased a slow pace growth owing to low purchasing power & high cost, consistent adverse climatic shocks and dependence on import of agricultural machinery.
Market Segmentation
By Product Type: Tillage Equipments captured highest sales share in terms volume of agricultural machinery sold followed by Planters & Seeders. Tractors held the third highest share followed by sprayers, precision farming equipments, combine harvesters and others (balers, rakes and more) respectively. Tillage equipments are low cost machinery complementing tractors and are thus exposed to higher wear & tear resulting in higher recurring demand & hence high sales volume in 2018.
By Domestic Sales and Import: The market is clearly driven by imports from countries such as India and China extending cheap labor & manufacturing cost. Hence, all major international OEMs have their international distributers selling their products by importing SKU’s to South Africa.
By Region: Free State has the highest market share in terms of sales volume, followed by Mpumalanga and Kwa Zulu Natal. This was followed by Western Cape, Northern Cape and Others (Gauteng, Eastern Cape, Limpopo and North West). Free State has accounted for a huge number of large equipment sales since it provides the apt conditions for agriculture and thus accounts for maximum crop production. Mpumalanga is adept with intensive farming and thus has higher mechanization rate whereas Kwa Zulu Natal experiences ample rainfall & agriculture produce thus resulting in high sales volume of machinery.
Competition Stage and Positioning: The overall competition stage of the market has been concentrated wherein the landscape is extensively dominated by 3-4 international manufacturers in 2018 in tractors and harvesters market respectively. There are 3 major domestic manufacturers namely Bell Equipment, Falcon Equipment and Radium Engineering in 2018.
