CLIENT CONTEXT

Client Context

Yanmar India is a leading global tractor OEM with a strong presence across multiple agricultural horsepower segments in India. The company is recognized for its engineering-led innovation, including the introduction of India’s first hybrid tractor, and leverages Yanmar’s 100-year Japanese engineering legacy to deliver technologically advanced and reliable solutions for Indian farmers.

Operating in a highly competitive and regionally fragmented tractor market, Yanmar India sought greater visibility into state-wise demand dynamics, model-level performance, and competitive intensity. The objective was to refine its sales strategy, improve regional coverage, and unlock growth in under-penetrated markets. Ken Research was engaged to conduct a comprehensive tractor sales strategy and coverage assessment to support data-driven, region-specific decision-making.
