NEW YORK, April 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2016 edition of the report provides a Comprehensive & Insightful Comparative SWOT Framework Analysis and analyzes the Near to Medium Term Strategy Focus for the Global Top 6 Agriculture Equipment Manufacturers amid an emerging market scenario with the Global Agriculture Equipment market impacted significantly by the continued, significant pressures on farm incomes & profitability emanating from an altered supply side economics with record crop production across key geographic regions driving down crop prices & impacting farm incomes directly and significantly which is likely to continue to have a significant bearing on agriculture machinery sales over near term. Further, the current downturn in global energy markets with sustained downward trend in global crude oil prices has impacted the demand as well as production of agriculture feedstock based biofuels severely across North America & Western Europe, thereby, further compounding the complexity of the challenges for the industry, especially, with a significant increase in corn planting acreages across these markets over the recent years. The multitude of pressures on top line growth have necessitated & rendered competitiveness as crucial to protecting profitability across industry OEMs which have been working towards optimizing & aligning their production output, cost base & industrial footprint with emerging demand scenario. Additionally, the economic conditions across key geographic markets & regions remain disparate with traditional markets, led by North America, witnessing steady growth while emerging markets, led by Brazil, China & Russia, face a a host of complex economic challenges & pressures against the backdrop of a difficult global macroeconomic environment marked by financial markets volatility, continued weakness in commodity prices, plummeting of crude oil prices and continued geo-political conflict.

The long term fundamentals & demand drivers for the industry, however, remain strong & well in place linked directly to a rapidly growing global population besides the cyclical demand from the bio-fuel industry for agriculture sources based feedstock linked directly to prevailing crude oil prices & policy framework. The global agricultural output is required to double itself by 2050 as against the present level, in order, to match the rate of global population growth, as per projections, amid diminishing natural resources, thus, highlighting & underscoring the imminent & urgent need for tremendously enhancing efficiency & productivity through precision farming, especially, across developing nations & least developed countries where the population explosion is actually projected to take place.

Overall, agriculture output growth over medium term across North America, Europe & Asia is likely to be driven, primarily, by efforts aimed at improving crop yield & productivity. Additionally, the Chinese Government's strong focus & push for development of Chinese rural agriculture sector over the next decade are likely to generate potential growth opportunities for regional as well as global OEMs with deep roots in China. Also, growing animal protein consumption trend across developing nations driven by rise in disposable incomes & growing urbanization is likely to drive growth for livestock, poultry & dairy sectors across these markets.

Against this backdrop, the report provides a comprehensive Comparative SWOT framework analysis on the Global Top 5 Agriculture Equipment manufacturers besides analyzing the overall, near term strategy focus across these OEMs. The framework analyzes the Strengths & Weaknesses of the OEMs from a standalone as well as relative perspective based on a comprehensive analysis of their Key, Strategic Business Aspects, which include:
