US Planting Equipment Market (2026-2031)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the planting equipment market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

This research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources—directories and databases such as Bloomberg Businessweek and Factiva—to identify and collect information useful for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the planting equipment market.

In the secondary research process, various sources such as annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, articles from recognized authors, gold & silver standard websites, directories, and databases were referred to identify and collect information. This research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources—directories and databases such as Bloomberg Businessweek and Factiva—to identify and collect information useful for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the planting equipment market.

Secondary research was mainly used to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain, the total pool of key players, and market classification and segmentation as per the industry trends to the bottom-most level, regional markets, and key developments from both market- and technology-oriented perspectives.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research was carried out after gathering information about the planting equipment market through secondary research. Several interviews were conducted with industry experts from both the demand and supply sides across major countries in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and RoW. Data was collected via questionnaires, emails, and phone calls. Supply-side sources included industry leaders such as CXOs, Vice Presidents (VPs), and directors from business development, marketing, research, and development teams, as well as key opinion leaders. These interviews aimed to gather insights on market statistics, revenue data from products and services, market segmentation, size estimates, forecasting, and data triangulation. The research also provided an understanding of trends related to planting equipment’s core material, shell material, methods, technology, and applications. Stakeholders from the demand side, including research institutions, universities, and third-party vendors, were interviewed to gain perspectives on their service needs, current use of encapsulation, and outlook for their businesses, which influence the overall market.

Note: The three tiers of the companies are defined based on their total revenues in 2023 or 2024, as per the availability of financial data: Tier 1: Revenue > USD 1 billion; Tier 2: USD 100 million ≤ Revenue ≤ USD 1 billion; Tier 3: Revenue < USD 100 million.
