UAE Farm Equipment Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Type (Combines, Plows, Sprayers, Planters, Others), By Function (Plowing & Cultivating, Sowing & Planting, Plant Protection & Fertilizing, Harvesting & Threshing), And By Application Period (Pre-Harvesting, During and Post-Harvesting) - Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

The UAE Farm equipment market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.87% over the projected period, increasing from US$65.019 million in 2025 to US$74.667 million by 2030. 

The market growth is attributed to the growing demand for agriculture and food products nationwide. This has forced farmers to adopt advanced technologies and methods in their agricultural practices to meet the growing demand for food by the population of the country. Over the past few years, human and animal power in agriculture has reduced, Because of this, the need for a variety of equipment is emerging. The government is also encouraging farmers to use technically advanced farming machinery and is investing a significant amount in farming equipment, which is propelling market growth.

Moreover, the UAE has high per capita food consumption, making it the GCC region’s most promising agriculture market. In 2021, the total production of cereals across the UAE was 23,475 metric tons, and in 2022 it was 23,031 metric tons. Growth in the production of food products will increase the demand for technically advanced farm equipment to increase the production rate of fruits and vegetables which is anticipated to drive the overall market growth. The government is also encouraging private, local, and foreign companies to come and invest in the agricultural economy which will have a positive impact on the market growth. It has also launched its National Food Security Strategy which aims at boosting the country’s future domestic supply and developing foreign partnerships to diversify food resources.

What are the UAE farm equipment market growth drivers?

• Growing demand for organic food and government initiatives

One of the prime reasons supporting the market growth is the increasing demand for organically grown food and crops. Organic food does not contain harmful chemicals or fertilizers, because of which its consumption has increased in the last few years. Moreover, growing health concerns due to the rising number of chemical poisoning incidents worldwide are fueling the demand for organic food, which in turn is expected to drive the overall market growth. 

Rapid urbanization, less available arable land, and increased preference for locally grown food produced in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way are driving the adoption of advanced farm equipment across the agriculture sector of UAE. Advanced farm equipment is a useful tool to overcome challenges faced by traditional agriculture such as freshwater shortages, climate change, and soil degradation. 

Additionally, the growing affluent middle class, willing to pay more for higher quality food produced with fewer pesticides, is also fueling market growth. This rising demand for organic food has forced the country to adopt advanced technologies and methods in its agricultural practices to meet the escalating demand.

In 2022, the governments of UAE and India signed the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) to expand cooperation through bilateral food and agriculture trade. The UAE government has also signed an MoU with Ireland's Department of Agriculture, Food, and Marine to enhance cooperation in food security. Further, a wheat farm in Mleiha, Sharjah, was launched in 2022. This is to provide food needs and raise production rates to cover the needs of Sharjah’s cities and regions. 

The first phase of wheat cultivation covered an area of 400 hectares. The project will be completed in three phases. The second phase will be on an area of 880 hectares in 2024, and the third phase will reach its completion on an area of 1,400 hectares in 2025. In 2022, the share of the emirate of Sharjah was 330,000 metric tonnes. The developments and initiatives taken by the government of the country are expected to significantly drive the overall market growth during the forecast period.

• Plant Protection & Fertilizing is anticipated to propel in the coming years.

The United Arab Emirates Arab land and water scarcity problems drive the demand for plant protection and fertilizing implements. Agricultural innovation, sustainability, and smart technology adoption have all played their part in shaping the market for these vital tools. The agricultural industry is always changing, requiring increased productivity, sustainability, and efficiency through new technologies and methods. According to stakeholders' and investors’ perceptions, the United Arab Emirates is a lively potential market for this type of machinery.

There's a growing market for plant protection equipment that helps manage pesticides, diseases, and weeds that threaten crop yields. Drones and automated sprayers are often used to apply pesticides and herbicides accurately. Hence, advanced spraying systems with reduced chemical use and environmental pollution have been much needed in the UAE due to its focus on precision farming.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems are gaining popularity and consist of chemical, physical, and biological controls. The goal is to reduce dependency on artificial pesticides to benefit environmentally sustainable practices. Moreover, the Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority (ADFCA) and Abu Dhabi Farmers Services Centre (ADFSC) are developing date palm integrated pest management, agricultural extension, and technology transfer systems in Abu Dhabi. Building capacity, improving technology transfer and agricultural extension systems, date palm IPM research and development, biological control in greenhouses, and socioeconomic analysis are some of the project's components.

Additionally, the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) reports that the area is home to over 24,000 agrotech farms covering 75,000 hectares of land.

The UAE farm equipment market is segmented and analyzed as follows:

• Pre-Harvesting segment is expected to hold significant market share in the coming years.

The UAE farm equipment will witness an increase due to advanced agricultural equipment being used in pre-harvest farm operations in the country. For instance, adequate application of proper threshing machinery can minimize losses by avoiding harm to crops amid and after harvest, guarantee timely harvesting and processing, and lessening crop spoilage.

Moreover, supportive government initiatives and policies promote the use of farming machinery for pre-harvest activities, thereby supporting market expansion. For instance,, National Food Security Strategy 2051 by the government, targets to put the UAE in the top position under the Global Food Security Index by 2051. It also strives to ensure sustainable food production using modern technology.

This segment is expected to witness a significant rise due to increased demand for higher crop yields in the coming years. Moreover, the wealthy consumer market with high per capita incomes also contributes to propel the market growth for pre-harvest equipment. As per the Global Food Security Index – GFSI 2022, the UAE was ranked first in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and 23rd globally.

Following this, as per the estimates from the World Bank, real GDP growth at constant factor prices is expected to increase from 3.8% in 2021 to 4.0% in 2025. This highlights lucrative opportunities for the development of the agriculture sector that will give rise to the application of more pre-harvest machinery, such as Irrigation equipment, weeders, and stem cutters, among others, in the projected period.
