세계의 농업용 건초 및 사료 기계 시장 예측(-2032년) - 기계 유형별, 조작 방법별, 용도별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agricultural Haying Forage Machinery Market is accounted for $9.18 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $12.34 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period. Agricultural haying and forage machinery refers to specialized equipment used in the cultivation, harvesting, processing, and handling of forage crops like hay, silage, and pasture plants. These machines assist farmers in cutting, raking, baling, chopping, and transporting fodder efficiently, reducing manual labor and improving productivity. They play a crucial role in ensuring quality feed for livestock, optimizing crop yield, and supporting modern, mechanized farming practices across diverse agricultural settings.

According to FAOSTAT, the area harvested under cowpea grew from 15.3 million hectares in 2022 to 15.4 million hectares in 2023, enhancing the use of forage harvesters and increasing the demand for haying and forage machinery.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for animal feed

The rising global demand for livestock products is fueling the need for efficient forage harvesting solutions. Haying and forage machinery are increasingly adopted to meet the growing requirement for high-quality feed across dairy, poultry, and cattle sectors. These machines enable timely harvesting and preservation of nutritional value, which is critical for animal health and productivity. Farmers are investing in advanced balers, mowers, and rakes to optimize feed output and reduce post-harvest losses. The expansion of commercial livestock farms and feedlots is further accelerating machinery uptake. As feed demand intensifies, haying equipment is becoming indispensable for scalable and sustainable animal husbandry.

Restraint:

High initial investment costs

The cost of advanced equipment such as self-propelled forage harvesters or high-capacity balers can be prohibitive for small and mid-sized farms. This financial barrier limits adoption, especially in regions with fragmented landholdings or low mechanization rates. Additional expenses related to maintenance, fuel, and skilled labor compound the investment challenge. While leasing and cooperative ownership models are emerging, they are not yet widespread enough to offset the restraint. Consequently, high initial costs remain a key hurdle to broader market penetration.

Opportunity:

Growing adoption of precision and sustainable agriculture

The shift toward precision farming is creating new opportunities for haying and forage machinery manufacturers. Farmers are increasingly integrating GPS-guided mowers and sensor-equipped balers to enhance efficiency and reduce waste. These technologies support sustainable practices by optimizing input use and minimizing soil compaction. Government subsidies and sustainability mandates are encouraging adoption of eco-friendly harvesting solutions. Innovations in automation and data analytics are also enabling better crop monitoring and yield forecasting. As agriculture modernizes, forage machinery is evolving to align with precision and sustainability goals.

Threat:

Intense competition and market consolidation

Large multinational players are expanding their portfolios and acquiring smaller firms to strengthen market share. This consolidation is narrowing choices for buyers and intensifying pricing battles. Smaller manufacturers often struggle to compete on technology, distribution, and after-sales service. Rapid innovation cycles and brand loyalty further reinforce the dominance of established players. As a result, market fragmentation is declining, and competitive intensity is reshaping industry dynamics.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the agricultural machinery supply chain, delaying equipment deliveries and maintenance schedules. Lockdowns and labor shortages hindered field operations, affecting forage harvesting timelines. However, the essential nature of livestock farming helped sustain baseline demand for haying equipment. The crisis underscored the importance of reliable, low-maintenance machinery in ensuring feed continuity. Post-pandemic recovery has been supported by renewed investments in mechanization and rural infrastructure.

The balers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The balers segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, driven by rising demand for efficient feed management and labor-saving technologies. Advancements such as variable chamber designs, moisture sensors, and automation features are enhancing productivity and bale quality. Emerging trends include integration with GPS and telematics for precision farming and real-time monitoring. Key developments involve compact, high-density balers suited for small farms and export markets. Sustainability goals are also pushing innovation in fuel-efficient and electrically powered models.

The medium farms segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the medium farms segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, due to their push for mechanization and cost-efficiency. These farms are adopting mid-range balers, mowers, and tedders equipped with GPS guidance, moisture sensors, and semi-autonomous controls. Emerging trends include modular equipment designs and compatibility with farm management software. Key developments involve compact, multi-functional machines tailored for mixed cropping systems. Government subsidies and cooperative ownership models are also boosting access. As technology scales down, medium farms are becoming a key growth segment for forage machinery.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share due to increased mechanization, labor shortages, and rising livestock feed demand. Technological advancements such as automated systems, precision agriculture tools, and self-driving harvesters are boosting operational efficiency. Notable trends include smart baler adoption and autonomous farming pilots in countries like Japan and China. Leading manufacturers, including Kubota and Deere & Company, are investing heavily in innovation to enhance yield quality and reduce costs, driving further growth across the region.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, propelled by increasing demand for livestock feed, labor shortages, and supportive mechanization initiatives. Technological advancements such as GPS-guided equipment, smart harvesters, and IoT-enabled systems are reshaping operations. Sustainability is a rising priority, with innovations aimed at minimizing fuel consumption and crop loss. Recent milestones include Canada's push for agri-tech growth and the widespread use of intelligent balers and forage tools that enhance productivity and resource efficiency across the region.
