Precision Livestock Farming Global Market Report 2024

The precision livestock farming market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.53 billion in 2023 to $5.04 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing demand for livestock products, a growing awareness of animal welfare, rising labor costs in agriculture, and environmental concerns.

The precision livestock farming market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.29 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the shift towards data-driven decision-making, the emergence of precision feeding techniques, the growth of smart farming solutions for livestock management, the development of wearable devices for animal health monitoring, and the expansion of precision breeding practices. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture, advancements in sensor technology, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, government initiatives to modernize farming practices, and an increasing focus on sustainable farming methods.

The anticipated growth of the precision livestock farming market is driven by the increasing demand for protein and dairy products. Protein and dairy products, which encompass food items rich in protein primarily derived from animal sources, particularly milk, are experiencing heightened demand due to evolving dietary preferences and increased awareness of health and nutrition. Precision livestock farming is employed in the production of protein and dairy to optimize efficiency, enhance animal welfare, improve feeding management, milk harvesting, and overall productivity. As an example, Progressive Publishing, a US-based company providing publishing services, reports an increase in US dairy product consumption from 651 pounds in 2020 to 661 pounds in 2021. Additionally, the University of Wisconsin-Madison notes a consistent year-over-year increase in milk protein test values, averaging 3.22% in 2021 and 3.25% in 2022. Therefore, the growing demand for protein and dairy products is a key driver propelling the precision livestock farming market.

Leading companies in the precision livestock farming market are actively engaged in developing innovative solutions, exemplified by advancements such as deLaval optimat, to enhance animal care and welfare and increase output efficiency. DeLaval optimat is an autonomous feeding robot that automates livestock feeding using sensors, software, and robotics for feed distribution and inventory management.
