North America Agricultural Sprayers Market Analysis
The North America Agricultural Sprayers Market size is estimated at USD 1.36 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.82 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.90% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Agricultural sprayers play a crucial role in North America, enabling farmers to efficiently apply fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides to crops, as well as distribute essential water and nutrients. These tools are instrumental in boosting crop productivity and enhancing overall farm efficiency. The increasing reliance on agricultural chemicals for crop production significantly propels the market's expansion. Data from FAOSTAT highlights this trend, North America's pesticide consumption rose from 531,618 metric tons in 2022 to 565,521 metric tons in 2023. This uptick in pesticide usage underscores the heightened demand for spraying machinery, further fueling market growth.
Moreover, supportive government initiatives bolster the market's expansion in the region. For instance, in 2022, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) earmarked a notable USD 300 million for a new organic transition initiative. As emphasized by the Agriculture Secretary, this initiative is designed to enhance market access and income opportunities for farmers. Beyond merely opening market doors, the initiative offers immediate financial aid for machinery purchases, which supports the sale and usage of agricultural sprayers. Thus, the combination of rising pesticide consumption and robust government backing propels the market's growth.
North America Agricultural Sprayers Market Trends
Growing Usage of Field Sprayers is Aiding the Market
North America's agricultural sprayers market sees field sprayers as its largest segment. The growing importance of field crops for food, feed, fuel, and fibre drives the need for higher production, expanding the land dedicated to these crops. FAOSTAT reports that Mexico's harvested cotton area increased from 158,716 hectares in 2021 to 199,287 hectares in 2022. This expansion necessitates more agrochemical use, boosting the demand for field sprayers. Smart spraying solutions for field crops are expected to further enhance sales in this segment. For example, John Deere introduced the 'See and Spray Select' system in 2022. This system allows targeted weed control in fallow fields, significantly reducing herbicide use. It is compatible with the 2023 models 410R, 412R, and 612R, and is used in corn, soybean, and cotton crops, contributing to the growth of the field sprayers segment.
Increased investments also support this segment's growth. In 2023, the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP), funded by Canada's federal, provincial, and territorial governments, announced a USD 3.5 billion investment. This investment, spread over five years (2023-2028), aims to support innovation, competitiveness, and resilience in Canada's agriculture sector. The Agri-Tech Innovation Initiative, a key component, helps businesses adopt new technologies, equipment, and processes, further supporting the field sprayers market in the country. Thus, the expanding area under field crops, technological advancements, and supportive initiatives drive market growth during the forecast period.
United States is Dominating the Market
The United States leads the agricultural sprayers market in North America. The market growth in the country is driven by the need to reduce agrochemical wastage and the rising export potential. The United States is the world's second-largest exporter of agricultural sprayers, following Australia. During the study period, sprayer exports have shown an upward trend. According to the ITC trade map, exports of agricultural and horticultural sprayers reached 356,131 units in 2023, up from 291,034 units in 2022. Canada, Sudan, and Egypt are key importers of North American agricultural sprayers. Trade agreements like NAFTA and USMCA have removed agricultural trade barriers, supporting exports to Canada and Mexico.
The demand for advanced agricultural sprayers has increased due to the need for sustainable agrochemical management. The region favours self-propelled sprayers with high-tech features such as automatic section control, data transmission, and direct injection, ensuring precise chemical application. The United States Department of Agriculture reports that the average farm size in the United States grew from 448 acres in 2020 to 464 acres in 2023. This growth requires more labour for spraying operations. However, World Bank data shows a slight decline in the agricultural workforce, from 1.66% in 2021 to 1.62% in 2022. As a result, with the increasing demand for food crops and the need for more labor in the fields, farmers are turning to self-propelled tractor-mounted sprayers. These factors support the growth of the agricultural sprayers market in the United States.
