Parts for harvesting machinery including parts of threshing machinery straw or fodder balers and grass or hay mowers market in Romania

Earlier Report Observations

After growing in 2019, the market volume for harvesting machinery parts in Romania contracted in 2020 to 47 327 thous. USD due to the combined effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and drought, which reduced farmers' financial capacity. In the same year, parts production continued to rise, reaching 10 552 thous. USD, supported by exemptions for spare parts transport introduced by the Ministry of Agriculture.

From 2021 onwards, imports of parts recovered from the crisis, peaking at 69 316 thous. USD in 2022 amid expansion of distributor infrastructure, such as AgroConcept's new regional center in Oradea, and technological innovations in combine harvesters. In 2023, the European trend toward equipment modernization and stricter environmental regulations sustained demand for parts, although imports dipped slightly. By 2024, parts exports surged to 21 212 thous. USD, fueled by AgroConcept's recognition as Importer of the Year for the Kverneland brand and the development of CLAAS's network in Romania.

Throughout the period, Romanian farmers showed receptiveness to new technologies, encouraging adoption of modern machinery and corresponding parts. The market remained import-oriented, dominated by authorized dealers offering a wide range of parts from international brands.
