As is the tradition every year, we show the data of the sales of new machinery
in Spain during 2022, these data are extracted from the information published
by the Ministry of Agriculture (the information is published monthly, you can
see this information from
here). It is a summary of the most interesting data in our opinion. Overall, the
figures are generally worse than in 2021, which we consider to be in line with
the general trend of the average of the last few years.
The number of new tractors sold has decreased to 10,318 (11,672 units in
2021). A figure that is in line with the 10,000 new tractors sold annually
which has been the benchmark figure for more than 10 years. Therefore, the
sale of new tractors is on a steady path.
New tractor sales by brand continue to be led by John Deere (2,141 units in
2022, 2,351 units in 2021 and 2,429 units in 2020) and New Holland (1,522
units in 2022, 1,736 units in 2021 and 1,403 units in 2020). The news is that
this year John Deere is again the leader in sales by commercial group. We
would like to highlight the rise of Fendt, which is in third place with 699
units sold. Below you can see sales by brand on the chart:
On the other hand, another interesting fact is the best-selling brand in terms
of average power where Fendt continues to lead the market for another year
with 187 hp/tractor (187 hp/tractor in 2020 and 188 hp/tractor in 2020). More
information can be found in the following tables (data source Más que máquinas agrícolas blog):
Some more interesting facts about the sale of new tractors:
-
The Ministry has estimated the average sales price of a new tractor at €77,698 (€61,456 in 2021 and €58,830 in 2020):
-
The average horse price continues to rise and is already at 646 €/HP (592 €/
HP in 2021 and 505 €/ HP in 2020).
-
The average power of a new tractor sold in Spain is around 120
HP (119 HP in 2021 and 117 HP in 2020). The average power of the
total Spanish fleet is 70 HP.
As for sales of new agricultural machinery in 2022, we would like to show a
chart where you can see monthly sales. You have data about tractors, trailers,
tillage machinery, seed drills, mowers or harvesting machinery, etc. We would
like to mention that a total amount of 31,870 new machines were sold in 2022
(35,633 units in 2021 and 32,204 units in 2020). This is a significant drop
compared to previous years.
We highlight the following data on new sales of agricultural machinery:
-
Sales of new trailers: 2,951 units, 3,818 units in 2021 and 3,834
units in 2020.
- Regarding trailed or mounted machinery:
-
Soil tillage machinery: 2,926 units, 3,122 units in 2021and 2,914 units in
2020.
-
Seed drills machinery: 1,002 units, 1,011units in 2021 and 932 units in
2020.
-
Crop protection machinery: 6,938 units, 7,650 units in 2021 and 6,234
units in 2020.
-
Spreaders and fertilization machinery: 1,976 units, 2,596 units in 2021
and 2,254 units in 2020.
-
Harvesters machinery: 1,819 units, 2,062 units in 2021 and 2,174 units in
2020.

Apart from that, we have to give special mention to the new combine harvesters
sold in Spain which in 2022 was 191 units compared to 2021 in 2021and 279
units in 2021. This represents a very significant drop. This year the first
place goes to New Holland with 68 units (102 units in 2021). This has never
happened before because Claas has been the leader year after year. This sector
is completely monopolised by New Holland (68 units), Claas (54 units) and John
Deere (49 units). The other manufacturers' sales are practically symbolic
(around 13% of sales).
We want to give a special mention to the sales of self-propelled grape
harvesters, which this year have increased compared to previous years with 137
new units sold (135 units in 2021 and 111 units in 2020). New Holland leads
the market again, even more strongly for another year with 71% of sales. We
can conclude that the market has been stable for several years with around 100
new units sold. We think that this is a good amount, so we think the wine and
olive sectors are sectors with great potential.
