Examining the Impact of Consumer Innovativeness on Brand Equity Components and Purchasing Behavior: A SEM-Based Field Study in the Agricultural Equipment Industry

Abstract

Consumer innovativeness is a crucial concept that reflects individuals' tendencies to adopt new products, services, or ideas. Evolving technology and changing living standards continuously transform consumer needs. In the agricultural sector, these innovative tendencies foster the development of technology-based products. Farmers increasingly demand innovative agricultural equipment that enhances efficiency and simplifies work processes. This study examines the relationship between consumer innovativeness and brand equity components. Based on this relationship, the study aims to reveal farmers' innovation adoption and purchasing behaviors. The findings indicate that innovative products not only improve operational efficiency but also enhance consumer brand awareness, strengthen perceived quality, and reinforce brand loyalty. Additionally, the study identifies differences in innovation adoption based on consumers’ age and education levels. The results suggest that strategies related to consumer innovativeness can serve as a valuable resource for guiding businesses’ marketing activities. Furthermore, they highlight the critical role of consumer innovativeness in achieving competitive advantage and ensuring long-term sustainable production in the agricultural sector
