What Is Driving The Growth Of The Precision Livestock Farming Market?
The increasing need for protein and dairy products is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the precision livestock farming market moving forward. These products are food items that are high in protein and sourced from animals, predominantly milk. This surge in demand stems from evolving dietary preferences and an increased focus on health and nutrition awareness. Precision livestock farming is utilized in protein and dairy production to maximize efficiency, improve animal welfare, enhance feeding management and milk harvesting, and boost overall productivity. For instance, in August 2023, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), a US-based government department, indicated that the domestic use of milk in all products showed a significant increase after 2022. During the second quarter of 2023, milk consumption on a milk-fat basis grew by 2.2% to 54.9 billion pounds from 53.7 billion pounds in the corresponding period of 2022, while consumption on a skim-solids basis rose by 4.3% to 46.2 billion pounds from 44.2 billion pounds. Consequently, the rising demand for protein and dairy products drives the precision livestock farming market.
