Global Automated Feeding Systems Market Overview


Automated Feeding Systems Market Size was valued at USD 9.5 billion in 2022. The Automated Feeding Systems market industry is projected to grow from USD 10.1 Billion in 2023 to USD 15.3 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% during the forecast period (2023 - 2030). Due to the rising inclination of livestock farm owners to automate the procedures to decrease operational expenses and losses during hand feeding, automated feeding systems have grown in favor over the past few years. The main elements influencing farmers' increasing desire for autonomous feeding systems are large farm sizes, the need to boost output, and cost-effective operation, impacting market drivers during the forecast period.Automated Feeding Systems MarketSource: Secondary Research, Primary Research, MRFR Database and Analyst Review


Automated Feeding Systems Market Trends



  • Growing Awareness for Livestock Feeding Management to boost the market growth


The demand for automated feeding systems is predicted to develop during the forecast period due to rising knowledge of livestock feeding management, expanding dairy farm sizes globally, and declining operational expenses and losses related to manual feeding methods. Also, when the cattle population is on the edge of growth, managing the herd manually gets more challenging. Because automated feeding systems feed animals consistently and aid in herd management, there is a growing market for them.


Feeding the cattle the right grain mixture at the correct times becomes difficult and time-consuming. For livestock producers, the automated feeding system is a feeding solution that enables them to efficiently and profitably produce milk. Such a device effectively monitors and regulates the feed quantity given to the animals. The system is responsible for several tasks, including mixing feed, distributing feed onto different feeding tables, and storing feed components in their respective places. Automated feeding systems are the most modern technique for feeding domestic animals. These methods are primarily used in the management of animal feeding. Automated robots often complete the work and other types of cutting-edge equipment that approach the cow, and they're young to supply them with the milk, food, and many other sorts of consumables they need daily. By handling several tasks automatically, automatic feeding systems save expenses and time. These tasks include separating the different feed ingredients, mixing the meal, and spreading it on the feeding table. Automatic feeding systems primarily aid in maintaining and boosting the nutritional value of the food. They can also aid in maintaining the feed's freshness and length of time for consumption. Therefore, these factors are expected to enhance the Automated Feeding Systems market CAGR globally in recent years.


The market for automated feeding systems is growing as a result of a variety of causes. The scale of dairy farms is growing, along with the number of dairy animals and technology. Dairy products are also becoming increasingly in demand worldwide, driving the growth of the Automated Feeding Systems market revenue.


Automated Feeding Systems Market Segment Insights


Automated Feeding Systems Livestock Insights


Based on livestock, the Automated Feeding Systems Market segmentation includes ruminants, swine, poultry, and others. The ruminants segment held the majority share in 2022, contributing around ~55-57% to the Automated Feeding Systems Market revenue. This is primarily due to the rising demand for dairy products globally. Additionally, the rising middle-class population in emerging economies such as China, India, and Japan, combined with the increasing adoption of automated feeding systems, is expected to widen the footprint of the ruminant segments.Increasing awareness regarding substantial cost savings for automated feeding systems will increase the adoption rate.


March 2021: To create modular feed kitchens, Lely Holding SARL, a provider of cattle ranching and agricultural solutions, teamed up with ID Agro, a producer, and distributor of cutting-edge housing systems for the livestock industry. Both sides stand to gain from this agreement, as Lely Centers will be able to provide their autonomous feeding system while ID Agro can increase its sales market through the new channel.

Automated Feeding Systems Integration Insights


Based on integration, the Automated Feeding Systems Market segmentation includes fully integrated and non-integrated. Fully integrated systems are expected to dominate the market in 2022 and are projected to grow with the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to a growth in the need for feeding systems, a rise in customer preference for hardware systems, technical breakthroughs made by major companies to launch novel products, a rise in the demand for dairy products, and an increase in the number of dairy cattle throughout the world. Also, the growing preference for feeding systems and the industrialization of dairy farming due to workforce scarcity fuel the development of these fully integrated systems, fuelling the market growth.


Automated Feeding Systems Type Insights


The Automated Feeding Systems Market data has been bifurcated by type into rail-guided, conveyor, and self-propelled feeding systems. The rail-guided automated feeding systems segment dominated the market in 2022 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. The rail-guided feeders include both sliding scrapers and conveyor belts. This makes it possible to feed a variety of animal groups in small amounts of raw feed at regular intervals. This automated filling and screening process offers consistently high dependability and a decreased daily burden in the feeding stage.


April 2019: To convey the feed with high precision and high sanitary standards for aquaculture, Westair France will introduce its multizone autonomous feeding system. This is expected to widen the footprint of the global Automated Feeding Systems industry
