The livestock monitoring market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for livestock monitoring has experienced significant growth in the past few years. It is projected to expand from a size of $3.48 billion in 2024 to an estimated $3.97 billion in 2025, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14.0%.
The historic period's growth is largely due to factors such as the adoption of precision livestock farming, effective disease prevention and management, improvements in productivity and efficiency, government initiatives aimed at improving livestock wellbeing, and increased consumer demand for quality.
The livestock monitoring market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Predictions for the livestock monitoring market indicate a swift expansion in the upcoming years, with a market size potentially reaching $7.3 billion by 2029. This forecasted growth, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4%, is largely due to factors such as environmental sustainability, initiatives in intelligent farming, animal identification and traceability, livestock species-specific customization, and integration with farm management systems. Key trends expected to shape the growth of this market during the forecast period include the incorporation of Internet of things (IoT), the use of GPS tracking for better grazing management, automatic health surveillance systems, data analytics for foresighted insights, and the application of non-invasive monitoring technologies.
The rising emphasis on the early identification and real-time tracking of diseases in livestock is anticipated to significantly boost the livestock monitoring market. The priority placed on real-time tracking and swift disease recognition is essential for the provision of adequate animal care and support in ensuring their wellbeing. Sensor technologies aid in real-time observation and tracking, helping identify any livestock problems promptly for rectification. For instance, in November 2023, an innovative project backed by a £700,000 Innovate UK grant was reported by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, a research organization in the UK. The project aims to develop automated, real-time tracking for a cattle disease costing the UK agriculture sector £80 million per year. This initiative is part of the Farming Futures Automation and Robotics competition within Defra’s £270 million Farming Innovation Programme. Therefore, the heightened focus on real-time tracking and early disease identification is set to spur the growth of the livestock monitoring market.
