According to The Insight Partners' research, the North America Timothy hay market was valued at US$ 1,763.56 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 2,257.67 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 3.6% from 2025 to 2031. Increasing demand for Timothy hay as equine feed and surging demand for organic Timothy hay are among the critical factors attributed to the North America Timothy hay market expansion.
The demand for Timothy hay as equine feed is surging owing to its balanced nutritional value, moderate to low-calorie content, high fiber content, low calcium and easily digestible nature as compared to other hays. The high fiber content helps in maintaining proper digestion, prevents obesity, and supports overall gut health, making it an essential part of a horse's diet. It has a crude protein content of approximately 7-11%, which satisfies the protein requirements of young, adult, and older horses. Timothy hay is highly recommended for horses confined in stables as it offers more chewing time, miming their natural grazing habits of 10-15 hours a day. As a result, horse owners and trainers are adopting Timothy hay to optimize their animals' health and well-being. According to the World Population Review, the horse population in the US will be around 10.3 million in 2025. As more horse owners prioritize the health and well-being of their animals, Timothy hay has become the preferred choice for overweight horses, who have metabolic issues and are prone to digestive problems such as colic. With increasing awareness about the risks associated with high-starch diets, equine caretakers are turning to Timothy hay as a healthier, more natural alternative. It offers a balanced blend of fiber and energy that helps prevent metabolic disorders. It is particularly beneficial for horses with insulin resistance or laminitis conditions, common among older or less active horses. Thus, the increasing horse population and health benefits of Timothy hay as equine feed drive market growth.
