Through 2024, demand for fencing in the agricultural segment is expected to rise 1.8% annually to $1.1 billion. Demand in linear feet will edge up to 206 million linear feet, gains that are roughly in line with long-term historical averages:

• The number of US farms will continue to decline, as will the acreage devoted to farming, dampening associated fencing requirements.
• The high share of existing fences constructed from durable metal materials will limit replacement demand.
• The existing agricultural fencing stock is large, and the need for upkeep will help boost repair and replacement product demand.

Use of Higher Value Plastic Fencing Products Boosts Market Value

Value growth will be supported by the increasing use of higher value plastic fencing materials, as the safety and welfare of animals remains a concern. In addition, vinyl and concrete are seen as more durable replacements for wood in post and rail and split rail applications, especially around property borders.

Agricultural Fencing Is a Unique Part of Overall Fencing Industry

While many leading fencing producers supply the agricultural market, there are also a significant number of specialty suppliers that only offer agricultural fencing. Some of the largest of these specialty suppliers sell a wide range of farm and ranch products, with fencing one of many product lines offered. The agricultural market is the leading outlet for certain types of fencing including barbed wire, pipe fencing, and HDPE plastic fencing.
