Corporate M&A in the Agricultural Machinery/Technology sector

June 2025 – Based on SONEANs Ecosystem Intelligence platform we identified over 460 organizations since the beginning of this year involved in Corporate M&A activities (including e.g. manufacturers, suppliers, and also intermediaries such as importers, distributors, and dealers).

This is very significant given the fact that we had seen roughly 810 in 2024, meaning that based on our data we have already reached almost 57% of last year`s number by 24 June 2025 already.

88% of all majority takeovers took place in the below Top 20 countries worldwide with the United States representing 18%, followed by Germany, and the Netherlands.

The top 10 brands that companies are connected to (being e.g. embedded in their ecosystem as supplier or an intermediary) are seen below with John Deere related organizations representing the majority of takeovers, followed by CNH brands New Holland, and Case IH.

The reasons for takeovers are diverse from financial hardships to strategic decisions, and of course behind every country as well as organization are numerous developments that dynamically change the ecosystem in which companies operate.

With the current state of the world it will be interesting to see the size and scope of M&A activities in the backhalf of 2025.
