Automated Feeding Systems Market size to grow by USD 2,203.53 million from 2022 to 2027, End-user inclination toward automating dairy farming to be a major market trend – Technavio

NEW YORK, April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Technavio has been monitoring the automated feeding systems market, and it is expected to grow by USD 2,203.53 million from 2022 to 2027. As per the latest report, the market will progress at a CAGR of 6.85% during the forecast period. This report aid business leaders with an up-to-date analysis that includes the study of the current market scenario, the latest trends and drivers that are likely to influence the market growth, and the overall market environment. A key market trend in the automated feeding systems market is the end-users inclination toward automating dairy farming. Automation has a significant impact on dairy farming as it increases feeding frequency, improves labor efficiency, and allows data collection to make economic and animal welfare decisions. When automated and non-automated feeding systems are compared, non-automated systems account for 25% of the total working time. Moreover, automation ensures proper feed mixing and dispensing. Dairy farm productivity is increased by precisely supplying feed to cattle in measured ratios because of these systems. It also eliminates the possibility of human error. Hence, the economic benefits provided by automatic feeding systems increase their adoption, which is anticipated to drive market growth during the forecast period. Click & get Latest Sample Report within minutes!

Automated Feeding Systems Market 2023-2027: Market Dynamics

Key Drivers

• A major driver for the automated feeding systems market is the rising population of cattle in farms. 
• Because of the consistent growth in demand for meat and dairy products, farmers have increased the population of cattle in the farms.
• According to the USDA, there will be 9.4 million dairy cows in the US in January 2020, and the average size of dairy has increased by more than 40% in the last decade. This results in the demand for cattle feed to rise.
• To reduce waste and increase profitability, farmers ensure that cattle feed is used optimally. To carry this out, they need sophisticated automated feeding system models.
• Resultantly, the rising cattle population in farms is expected to drive the global automated feeding systems market during the forecast period.

Major Challenges

• The rising adoption of a vegan diet is a major challenge hindering the growth of the automated feeding systems market during the forecast period.
• Vegan diets, where people eat only fresh fruits and vegetables is gaining popularity. For instance, according to The Good Food Institute (GFI) and the Plant-Based Foods Association (PBFA), plant-based food sales in the US increased by more than 25% in 2020 and surpassed USD 7 billion in value, when compared to 2019.
• Moreover, plant-based meat sales have increased by up to 45% in 2020, making it the fastest-growing food category with plant-based dairy products accounting for a significant portion of total dairy consumption.
• This increased the demand for plant-based milk in recent years. Hence, the growing popularity of vegan diets increases crop demand while decreasing demand for meat and dairy products.

This study identifies the increasing adoption of a vegan diet as one of the prime reasons challenging the automated feeding systems market growth during the next few years. To know about the impact of the drivers, trends, and challenges on the market growth, Request a Sample Report!

Automated Feeding Systems Market 2023-2027: Segmentation

Automated Feeding Systems Market is segmented as below:

The market share growth of the conveyor feeding systems segment is significant for the market growth during the forecast period. Conveyor belts transport feed from the storage tank or mixing vessel to the feeding area in automated feeding systems and multiple conveyor belt units can be linked to livestock feeding systems to feed multiple animals. In these systems, the feed is distributed to the livestock by pushers, which are a component of conveyor livestock feeding systems. Automation is possible with conveyor livestock feeding systems, where it enables precise and accurate distribution of feed to farm locations. Various companies sell automated conveyor feeding systems like GEA provides automatic conveyor livestock feeding systems that use a combination of conveyor belts and sliding scrappers to provide benefits such as productive feed management and feeding different groups of livestock several times per day.
