Haying Machines Market Report 2026

The haying machines market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $28.99 billion in 2025 to $30.49 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of dairy and livestock farming, mechanization of fodder production, demand for quality animal feed, reduction in manual labor, growth of commercial farms.

The haying machines market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $38.79 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation in hay production, demand for high-efficiency balers, expansion of large farms, adoption of smart implements, focus on operational efficiency. Major trends in the forecast period include shift toward high-capacity haying equipment, adoption of mechanized baling solutions, demand for durable farm machinery, integration of precision farming tools, growth of livestock farming.

The rising livestock population is expected to drive the growth of the haying machines market going forward. Livestock population refers to the number of domesticated animals raised for meat, dairy, wool, and other agricultural purposes. The increase in livestock is driven by growing global demand for animal-based food products, fueled by population growth and changing dietary preferences. Haying machines are increasingly in demand as the expansion of livestock production prompts farmers to improve forage harvesting efficiency, ensure adequate feed availability, and enhance overall operational productivity. For instance, in August 2025, according to Statistics Canada, a Canada-based national statistical agency, cattle and calves’ inventories reached 11.9 million head in 2025, up 0.8% from the previous year, while sheep and lamb numbers rose to 1 million head, reflecting 1% year-over-year growth. Therefore, the rising livestock population is boosting demand for haying machines.

Major companies in the haying machines market are developing innovative technologies, such as round balers, to maintain their market position. Round balers are machines that compress and bundle crops like hay, straw, or silage into compact cylindrical shapes called round bales. For instance, in August 2023, Deere & Company, a US-based agricultural machinery manufacturer, launched new 1 Series round balers, integrating advanced technology to improve farmer efficiency and productivity. These balers feature John Deere’s Bale Doc technology, enabling real-time monitoring and post-harvest analysis of bale moisture and weight. The balers offer three pickup options, including a high-capacity dual-rotor system for increased throughput, allowing farmers to produce up to 80 more bales per day compared to previous models. Automation reduces operator fatigue by handling tasks such as gate operation, while an optional net roll lift assist eases roll-loading.

In August 2024, Yanmar Holdings Co., Ltd., a Japan-based agricultural machinery manufacturer, acquired CLAAS India Private Limited for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Yanmar to expand its agribusiness presence in India by integrating CLAAS India’s manufacturing facility and expertise in producing high-quality combine harvesters, enabling Yanmar to offer a broader range of harvesting solutions in one of the world’s largest grain-producing markets. CLAAS India Private Limited is an India-based agricultural machinery company specializing in durable and reliable combine harvesters.
