Livestock Monitoring Market Report 2026

The livestock monitoring market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.94 billion in 2025 to $4.58 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing livestock population, rising cases of animal diseases, early adoption of basic monitoring sensors, growing demand for milk and meat productivity, heightened need for efficient herd management.

The livestock monitoring market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.23 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of ai-driven analytics, increasing use of cloud-based livestock platforms, growing demand for real-time health monitoring, expansion of smart farming practices, higher emphasis on welfare-centric livestock management. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of IoT-based health monitoring, expansion of behaviour and activity tracking solutions, growing use of automated feeding decision tools, increased deployment of remote weight and sorting systems, greater focus on early disease and heat stress detection.

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.

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.

In March 2024, GEA Group, a Germany-based technology and engineering company, acquired CattleEye Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, GEA Group aims to strengthen its Next Generation Farming strategy by incorporating AI-driven solutions for early lameness detection and cow health monitoring. CattleEye Ltd. is a UK-based AgTech company that provides autonomous livestock monitoring solutions using artificial intelligence (AI) and video analytics.

Major companies operating in the livestock monitoring market are GEA Farm Technologies GmbH, Afimilk Ltd., VDL AgroTech B.V., Antelliq Corporation, Lely Holding B.V., Nedap N.V., Boumatic LLC, Dairymaster USA Inc., CowManager B.V., Sensaphone Inc., BovControl B.V., Allflex Livestock Intelligence Ltd., Cainthus Ltd., DeLaval Inc., Fancom B.V., Fullwood Packo Ltd., HerdInsights (Subsidiary of Datamars AG), Livestock Monitoring Systems Pty Ltd., Quantified AG, Rex Animal Health Inc., SmartShepherd Ltd., Connecterra, Hokofarm-Group BV.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are affecting the livestock monitoring market by increasing costs for imported sensors, wearables, communication modules, and data processing hardware, raising deployment expenses across hardware, software, and service segments for cattle, poultry, swine, and equine applications. Regions reliant on electronics imports such as North America, Europe, and parts of Asia face higher system costs and slower implementation cycles. Nevertheless, tariffs may stimulate domestic manufacturing of monitoring devices, enhance localized software ecosystems, and reduce long-term dependency on global supply chains, supporting market resilience.

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.North America was the largest region in the livestock monitoring market in 2025.
