Livestock Monitoring Market Report 2025

The livestock monitoring market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.48 billion in 2024 to $3.97 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to precision livestock farming adoption, disease prevention and management, productivity and efficiency improvement, government initiatives for livestock welfare, consumer demand for quality.

The livestock monitoring market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.3 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to environmental sustainability, smart farming initiatives, animal identification and traceability, customization for livestock species, integration with farm management systems. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of Internet of things (IoT), GPS tracking for grazing management, automated health monitoring systems, data analytics for predictive insights, non-invasive monitoring technologies.

The growing emphasis on early disease detection and real-time monitoring in livestock is anticipated to significantly boost the growth of the livestock monitoring market. This focus on real-time monitoring and early disease detection is essential for providing proper care to animals and maintaining their overall health. With the help of sensor technologies that facilitate real-time tracking and monitoring, any potential issues in livestock can be identified and addressed promptly. For example, in November 2023, the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, a UK-based research organization, announced an innovative project funded by a £700,000 grant from Innovate UK, aimed at developing automated and real-time monitoring for a cattle disease that costs the UK agriculture sector £80 million annually. This initiative is part of the Farming Futures Automation and Robotics competition within Defra’s £270 million Farming Innovation Programme. Thus, the increased emphasis on real-time monitoring and early disease detection is expected to drive the growth of the livestock monitoring market.

The rising livestock population is projected to propel the growth of the livestock monitoring market in the coming years. The livestock population refers to the total number of domesticated animals raised and kept by humans for various agricultural, economic, and cultural purposes. An increase in livestock population leads to greater demand for advanced monitoring solutions, enabling farmers to manage larger herds effectively, ensure animal welfare, and address health issues, thereby driving advancements in the livestock monitoring sector. For instance, in March 2024, the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, a UK-based ministerial department, reported that the number of hens and pullets laying eggs for consumption increased from 40.44 million in 2022 to 41.07 million in 2023, while the breeding flock grew from 52.46 million to 53.79 million during the same timeframe. Therefore, the growing livestock population is driving the growth of the livestock monitoring market.

Major companies in the livestock monitoring market are creating innovative farm management systems to secure a competitive advantage. Farm management systems refer to integrated software solutions and technologies designed to enhance and optimize various agricultural processes and activities on a farm. For example, in July 2023, SK Telecom Co. Ltd., a technology company based in South Korea, introduced a new livestock monitoring system called Live Care. This initiative aims to improve livestock management and welfare through advanced technology, specifically addressing the increasing demands of the agricultural sector. Live Care employs IoT devices to deliver real-time data on livestock health and behavior, allowing farmers to monitor their animals closely and respond swiftly to any health concerns or behavioral changes.

Major companies in the livestock monitoring market are leveraging strategic partnerships to offer comprehensive and innovative solutions for efficient livestock management. Strategic partnership refers to a collaborative alliance between two or more entities aimed at achieving mutual growth, leveraging combined strengths, and sharing resources for strategic objectives. For instance, in January 2023, Astrocast, a Switzerland-based satellite communications company, partnered with Digitanimal, a Spain-based livestock farming solutions company, to develop a Satellite IoT (SatIoT) solution aimed at enhancing livestock management. By integrating Astrocast's global satellite network with Digitanimal's smart livestock tracking solutions, the collaboration aims to provide farmers, especially in remote areas with limited terrestrial network connectivity, the ability to remotely track their herds using a cost-effective and low-power SatIoT-based collar. This innovative tracking technology enables farmers to accurately monitor the location and movement patterns of their livestock, fostering Agriculture 4 practices and overcoming challenges posed by the digital divide in rural and farming regions worldwide.

In April 2022, Elanco Animal Health Incorporated, a pharmaceutical company based in the US, collaborated with Ginkgo Bioworks. As a result of this partnership, they established BiomEdit, a microbiome innovation company dedicated to developing novel probiotics, bioactive molecules, engineered microbial medicines, and microbial monitoring services for animal health. Ginkgo Bioworks is a biotechnology company in the US that specializes in cell programming.

Livestock monitoring refers to a method that uses IoT-enabled sensors to track and monitor the health of animals, most frequently cattle, and is also known as precision livestock farming. The monitoring system for livestock aids in keeping an eye on the wellbeing of the animals. One can keep an eye on the grazing pattern and decide better on things such as the weight of the livestock and when to feed them.

The main types of livestock in the livestock monitoring market are cattle, poultry, swine, equine and others. The cattle livestock monitoring solutions used for monitoring a group of animals including cows, and buffalos. Livestock monitoring uses sensor technology to monitor and ensure the safety of cattle. Livestock monitoring is offered through hardware, software and services and have application in milk harvesting management, heat detection monitoring, feeding management, heat stress management, health monitoring management and sorting and weighing management.
