The forecast for the import of live pure-bred breeding horses to the US shows a consistent upward trend from 2024 to 2028, with values rising steadily from $146.9 million to $167.92 million. This reflects a year-on-year growth of approximately 3.7% in 2025 and the following years, indicating a healthy demand for such imports. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is projected to be around 3.4%. As of 2023, the value of such imports stood at a lower level, supporting the forecast's positive trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of equine health regulations, shifts in breeding practices, emerging markets for horse racing and performance activities, and potential changes in trade agreements. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for stakeholders in the equine industry. Adapting to these evolving dynamics will be key to sustaining growth in this sector.
