Fencing Market Report 2025

The fencing market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $34.88 billion in 2024 to $36.46 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to security concerns, growth in residential construction, increased urbanization, agricultural needs, property boundaries.

The fencing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $44.7 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to residential renovation, sustainable and eco-friendly fencing, rising land prices, customization and innovative designs, green building initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include smart fencing systems, vertical gardens and green fencing, laser-cut and decorative panels, modular and diy fencing, solar-powered fencing.

The forecast of 5.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.7% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The US is likely to face direct impact due to tariffs on wire mesh, posts, and gate hardware imported from Mexico and Europe, which could increase material costs and slow fencing installations. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increase in urbanization is significantly contributing to the growth of the fencing market. Urbanization refers to the movement of mass population from rural areas to urban settings, which results in the increasing human population densities in urban areas. The need for residential and non-residential structures is expanding as a result of urbanization, which will propel the fencing industry forward. The rise of the middle class is supporting the growth of the fencing business. Therefore, increasing urbanization is expected to propel the growth of the fencing market going forward.

The rise in construction activities is anticipated to drive the growth of the fencing market in the future. Construction involves assembling materials to create large structures. Fencing is primarily utilized in construction projects to secure the site, prevent unauthorized access, enhance safety, and safeguard materials and equipment, ultimately ensuring a controlled and secure work environment. For example, in June 2024, TST Europe AG, a Switzerland-based private company, reported that total construction spending reached $1.98 trillion in 2023, marking a 7.4% increase from the previous year, which indicates a strong upward trend in the construction sector. Consequently, the increase in construction activities is propelling the growth of the fencing market.

Strategic partnerships and collaborations are emerging as key trends in the fencing market. Leading companies in the fencing industry are focusing on forming partnerships and collaborations to expand into new areas and establish themselves as industry leaders. For example, in May 2023, Oakio, a US-based company, introduced innovative Proshield WPC fencing, a state-of-the-art solution that combines the visual appeal of traditional wood with the durability and low-maintenance benefits of plastic composites. This fencing option is made from wood-plastic composites, making it eco-friendly and resistant to rot, insects, and fading. The advanced Proshield technology enhances its performance, ensuring durability and sustainability in outdoor environments.

Strategic partnerships remain a cornerstone in the fencing industry, where major companies join forces to provide comprehensive solutions and services. In a significant development in March 2023, Gregory Industries, a US-based provider of quality highway safety products, formed a partnership with Safence, a US-based high-tension cable barrier system. This collaboration enhances Gregory’s capabilities in manufacturing, selling, and distributing Safence's existing fencing cable barrier system product line throughout the United States and Canada. Future plans include scaling this distribution to enhance road safety globally.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a considerable impact on the construction sector, particularly in the areas of material procurement and overall project expenses. Increased duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have raised costs for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, resulting in higher project bids and delays in execution. Manufacturers of construction equipment are also facing challenges, as tariffs on key components and raw materials are driving up production costs and compressing profit margins. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs from major export markets have reduced demand for U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, putting additional pressure on revenue streams. In response, the sector is increasingly focusing on local sourcing, adopting modular construction methods, and diversifying supply chains to better manage rising costs and maintain project feasibility amid ongoing trade instability.
