The Thailand Tractor Market size was valued at around 55,112 units in 2024 and is projected to reach 70,872 units by 2030.  Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 4.12% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The soaring food demand due to exponential growth in foreign tourists and the growing population of Thailand are major growth drivers for the tractor market. Thailand is an agrarian economy and is one of the largest exporters of food crops, which are cultivated on more than 250,000 sq. km of land. The country’s more than 13 million farmers grow rice on around 60% of the total agricultural land. Therefore, robust agricultural ecosystems driven by efforts towards mechanization are boosting tractor sales in the country.

Moreover, the government in Thailand has been developing various initiatives to support and encourage farmers. For instance, in 2023, the government introduced a rice insurance plan, which aims to cover the damage caused to rice production in 2023 owing to natural calamities. The government is also working with banks and financial institutions to support the modernization of farms via easy financing of farm equipment. Despite bright market prospects, soaring cost of tractors is emerging as a major challenge to the farmers. Moreover, the aftermarket components of the tractors are mainly imported from China, Japan, India, etc., which are prone to supply chain disruption. Nevertheless, Thailand's tractor market will surge in the coming years due to the adoption of advanced technologies in tractors, such as GPS tractors, wireless soil probes, etc.

The total demand for tractors in Thailand was estimated at over 73,000 units in 2024. However, due to several microeconomic factors, slower execution of government policies, financing challenges, etc., there exists a considerable gap between actual sales and the demand, further states the research report, “Thailand Tractor Market Analysis, 2025.”

Segmentation Analysis

2-Wheel Tractors Serving a Wide Range of Farmers

Based on the tractor type, the market is further bifurcated into 2-Wheel, 4-Wheel, and Others (6-Wheel, 8-Wheel, etc.). The 2-wheel tractors are mostly used in small farm areas in Thailand for agriculture due to features such as easy control and low maintenance. These tractors have lower prices in comparison to other tractor types, which are affordable to small and medium-scale farmers. Additionally, the Thai government is developing various programs to educate and train small-scale farmers in the use of equipment suitable for small farmlands.  It will eventually promote the adoption of 2-wheel tractors in the forecasted period.

20-40 HP Tractors are in High Demand

Agriculture is a major industry in the country. The agriculture industry is mainly composed of numerous small farms owned by small and medium-scale farmers. Small farms having a limited area to operate require limited power tractors, and hence, the Thai tractor industry is dominated by 20-40 HP tractors. Tractors under 20-40 HP are powerful enough to carry out operations like tilling, ploughing, light grading, and mowing. Owing to lower power, these tractors are also low priced and hence are preferred dominantly by the small-scale farmers who cannot afford very high-power power expensive tractors. Thus, with the increasing number of small-scale farmers, the demand for 20-40 HP tractors will also increase in the future.

Competitive Landscape

With strategic initiatives, such as mergers, collaborations, and acquisitions, the leading market companies, including John Deere, Siam Kubota Corporation Co., Ltd., CNH Industrial NV (New Holland), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Thailand) Ltd. (MHIT), Talaythong Factory Co., Ltd., Yanmar S.P. Co., Ltd., IST Farm Machinery Co., Ltd., Mahindra & Mahindra, Machines Equipments, and others are looking forward to strengthening their market positions.
