Šempeter (Slovenia)/Brussels, 16th September 2025 – After three consecutive years of market decline, the European grassland equipment sector appears to have reached its bottom. Although dealer inventories have been reduced, they remain above the long-term average, indicating a cautious recovery.
The demand for dairy products continues to be strong, and milk prices have developed positively due to limited supply and stable consumer demand. This has supported margins for dairy farms across Europe, creating a more favorable environment for investment.
Nevertheless, farmers are facing significant challenges. Geopolitical tensions, uncertainties surrounding the EU agricultural budget, and the lack of long-term political frameworks are contributing to a climate of hesitation regarding new investments in agricultural machinery.
Despite these pressures, the CEMA Grassland Group anticipates slight growth in the European market for the 2025/26 season, signaling a potential turnaround.
The group also welcomes SIPMA (Poland) as a new member, further strengthening its representation across Europe.
The CEMA Product Groups are associations of the leading European manufacturers of agricultural equipment. Their main focus is placed on the joint assessment of the market based on dedicated statistics. Currently, 12 companies are members of the CEMA Product Group Grassland Equipment. The main requirement for participation is the company’s membership of a national industry association which belongs to the European umbrella association CEMA.
CEMA Product Group Grassland Equipment met on 16th September at the SIP headquarters in Šempeter, Slovenia
