The global crawler tractor market size is expected to reach USD 3.94 billion by 2026 according to a new study. The report "Crawler Tractor Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Type (Low HP, High HP); By Application (Agriculture, Construction, Mining, Forest, Other); By Regions, Segments & Forecast, 2019 - 2026" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.



Elevated demand for advanced machinery, including agriculture, mining, forestry and construction, is driving the global market. In order to develop and improve the capacity and applications of present tractors, firms operating in this sector are conducting rigorous studies. Continuous innovation in technology and product launch allows companies to gain a competitive edge and to boost their sales. Moreover, the need for these systems in several fields is driven by increased maintenance and installing activities for rebuilding infrastructure in combination with road construction activities.



Moreover, the developments in agriculture have increased demand for modern equipment in order to enhance productivity. This is also seen as one of the principal factors contributing to the growth of crawler tractors. However, during the forecast period, the elevated expenses of crawler tractors will probably diminish market growth, along with the absence of skilled laborers to use these large and powerful machines.



Over the centuries, the crawler tractor has established itself as a heavy duty operations solution. Crawler tractors generally use heavy duty tracks instead of pneumatic tires for plenty of activities than standard tractors, allowing their weight to distribute them far more evenly across the earth and allowing them to reach regions in which rubber tires fail to perform. Due to the large surface area, they are considerably more stable while operating slower than the average tractor and are significantly less likely to sink to soft surfaces. A crawler tractor has the advantage of having a much wider range than a wheeled tractor to spread its weight. The soil is not as tight as a wheeled tractor with a crawler. In agriculture, where the ground is compacted, this is monumental. This has resulted in its comprehensive use in agriculture, one of the major vertical sectors that drives the global market.



The global market for crawler tractors was dominated by the construction industry. Most tractors are used to move and design heavy earth. A blade or crane attachment is provided for the base monitoring chassis. Many tracked vehicles are also used in agriculture. In fields where a rolling vehicle could not cross, the tractor is accountable for efficient building projects. This resulted in its dominant use in the construction sector.



North America was the dominant market for crawler tractors in 2018 and hold the largest market share in the global market. The important factor attributed to this major market size is that advanced methods are increasingly being implemented to make human job a lot easier. While this region dominates the market, steady growth in this region is anticipated. The majority of the countries of Europe and Asia-Pacific are expected to experience rapid growth in the global crawler sector.



The primary industry players include John Deere, Liebherr Group, Caterpillar Inc., Case IH, New Holland, Chetra, Dressta, HBXG, Hitachi, Komatsu, Mitsubishi, YTO, Kubota, DEUTZ-FAHR, CLASS, AGCO Corp, Shantui, among others. Emerging economies such as India and China are considered to be the major markets due to continuous development in construction and mining, thus giving major companies to expand their operations. This can be seen with major companies expanding their operations in these regions along with many local or regional players coming with new products for the local market.
