Agricultural Fencing with Covid-19 Market Impact Analysis
Demand for fencing in the agricultural market is forecast to rise 1.8% annually in dollar terms between 2019 and 2024.to $1.1 billion. Demand in linear feet will edge up during this span, posting gains that are roughly in line with long term historical averages.
The use of higher value plastic fencing materials as a replacement for wood and wire is expected to increase due to concerns about the safety and welfare of animals. 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.
Advances will be tempered by a decline in the number of US farms and the acreage devoted to farming. However, the existing agricultural fencing stock is large, and the need for upkeep will help boost repair and replacement product sales.
The agricultural market for fencing is projected to drop in 2020 as farm incomes weaken in response to issues in the meat packing industry, which led some farmers to reduce herd size. Product demand is forecast to return to moderate growth levels by 2022 and strengthen through 2024.
