Sugarcane Harvesters Market Size, Trends & Demand Forecast 2031

Global sugarcane harvesters market is projected to witness a CAGR of 7.60% during the forecast period 2024-2031, growing from USD 1.96 billion in 2023 to USD 3.52 billion in 2031. The harvested volume of sugarcane around the world is expected to grow significantly owing to the increasing mechanization of agriculture and the worldwide rise in sugar consumption. However, in many sugarcane-growing regions, labor shortage exists, leading to the development of automated and efficient harvesting systems, which are necessary. Due to the advantages of mechanized harvesting, such as increased crop yields and lowered operational costs, it becomes an effective option for farming on a larger scale.
Leaping forward to implementing technological advancements, the invention of more effective machines takes place. These machines consume less fuel with features such as GPS tracking, flexible cutting heights, and automated controls. As a result of employing machines, reduced wastage can be witnessed on the fields after the operation, along with higher billet quality of sugarcane, increasing farmers&rsquo; revenue.
Along with the growth potential, the market has its challenges, which include high initial investment costs and complex technologies that may limit the sustenance of most small and medium-scale farmers. Nevertheless, owing to the increasing demand for sugar and global sustainability concerns, the global sugarcane harvesters market is projected to register a steady growth rate over the forecast period.
In April 2022, Civemasa introduced its latest whole-stalk sugarcane harvester, CCI 1500, which is made to divide and chop sugarcane laterally. The tool comes in two models, the CCI 1500 EL, which includes an extender to distribute cane at a distance of 5.50 meters, and the CCI 1500 ST, which allows cane to be disseminated laterally at a distance of 2.50 meters. The hydraulically powered conveyor articulation system allows sugarcane to be harvested in limited spaces, such as roadside ditches, incline regions, and adjacent sections of roadways.
<h2>Rising Global Sugar Demand Influences Market Growth</h2>
One of the key advantageous factors fueling the growth of the sugarcane industry is the growing global sugar consumption, which further affects the sugarcane harvester market. Sugar remains one of the most consumed ingredients by the food and beverage sector, and its usage is on an upward trend, particularly in developing nations with growing populations that are leading to changing concurrently increasing sugar intake.
As per the International Sugar Organization, the global consumption of sugar increased in 2022 and reached 176.318 million tons, an increase of 7.045 million tons or 4.2% than the previous year. Moreover, there was a rise in the global volume of sugar traded as it reached a new peak of 69.822 million tons, an increase of 6.023 million tons compared to the year 2021. The overwhelming increase in exports by India (+4.028 million tons) and Thailand (+3.221 million tons) is at this core. However, no appreciable modification was observed in Brazil even though Brazil is the largest sugar-exporting country in the world.
Furthermore, sugarcane cultivation is not limited to sugar production, as bioethanol produced from sugarcane is widely used, increasing the demand for sugarcane. Hence, the increased consumption of sugar and other sugarcane products has made farmers and producers turn to more modern and efficient mechanized harvesting techniques.
<h2>Better Residue Management Catalyzes Market Expansion</h2>
Improved residue management is a key factor driving the growth of the global sugarcane harvesters market. Contemporary harvesters are designed with modern residue management systems that effectively deal with crop residues, lowering the need for manual working. These systems allow for the cutting, collection, and disposal of leaves and stalks of sugarcane with great precision, thereby reducing wastage and making it easier to prepare the fields for the next crop.
The efficient management of residues leads to enhanced soil health because properly treated crop remains can be utilized either in the form of mulching or biofuels, which adds value ecologically and commercially. It is consistent with the current trends in agriculture and assists farmers in following environmental laws. Also, it minimizes the occurrences of pests and diseases, which in turn increases the crop yield.
Further driving the market&rsquo;s growth, governments of all the major agricultural countries are providing subsidies and other incentives to promote the use of harvesters with efficient residue management systems. For instance, in December 2023, to help lower the quantity of PM2.5 dust in the 2022&ndash;2023 harvest year, the Thai government approved incentives worth USD 225 million (THB 8 billion) for sugarcane farmers who gave their consent to cut fresh sugarcane without burning the leftovers. As part of the program, farmers received USD 3.4 (THB 120) per ton from the government.
<h2>200 to 400 hp Power Rating Holds a Significant Market Share</h2>
The 200 to 400 horsepower power rating category commands a substantial portion of the global sugarcane harvesters market owing to its appropriateness for efficiency and performance. The sugarcane harvesters in this engine power segment are mainly used for extensive farming operations because they can effectively work on large sugarcane fields without using too much fuel or incurring high operational costs.
The performance of these machines in the field is remarkable and strikingly swift, even in cases of dense or overgrown sugarcane stalks to cause minimum possible damage. Due to their flexibility and ability to cope with different area sizes, they are preferred by many farmers who look for both efficiency and steadiness.
In addition, the range of 200 to 400 hp is considered optimal for medium and large-scale farms, as it balances the initial outlay and final returns. With sugarcane farming prone to much mechanization, this power segment is projected to continue leading in the global market.
In May 2024, Guangxi LiuGong Machinery Co., Ltd. launched its latest sugarcane harvester, S935TA, with the powerful 375 hp Cummins QSM11 engine. The launch offers low fuel consumption, a high production ratio, and simple maintenance.
<h2>Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market Share</h2>
The largest share of the global sugarcane harvesters market has been accorded to Asia-Pacific due to high levels of sugarcane production in countries such as India, China, and Thailand. The region has a favorable climate and a large land area, which allows for substantial amounts of sugar to be produced globally. The rising need for mechanized farming systems due to lack of labor has also stimulated the uptake of sugarcane harvesters in the region.
A significant push by the governments of the region towards farm mechanization by providing various subsidies and incentives further enhances market growth. Furthermore, leading corporations have been putting in programs targeted at training agriculturalists for the use of sophisticated harvesting machines. These programs aid the farmers in the proper use of the new machinery, hence lowering the wastage of crops and increasing yield efficiency. For instance, in April 2023, one of the leaders in agricultural equipment and a CNH Industrial N.V. affiliate, Case IH, established Unnat Kaushal-Sugarcane Harvester Operator Training, its latest Corporate Social Responsibility program. For sugarcane harvester operators across India, the program was introduced in association with Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) in Baramati, Maharashtra. Through training sugarcane farmers on how to use harvesting equipment optimally to increase overall productivity and maximize machine uptime, the project aimed at promoting sustainable sugarcane cultivation.
