Animal genetics involves the deliberate breeding of farm and companion animals by humans to achieve specific advantages. This encompasses practices such as genetic modification and selective breeding aimed at boosting the output of animal-derived products. It enables the selection of favorable traits in livestock, such as increased milk production, superior meat quality, resistance to diseases, and enhanced growth rates.
The primary categories within animal genetics include products, genetic materials, and embryos. Animal genetics products consist of tools and technologies utilized for studying and manipulating animals' genetic compositions. Services offered include genetic disease testing, DNA profiling, trait assessment, and more, catering to various animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, companion animals, and others. These services are utilized by different end users such as veterinary facilities, academic and research institutions, animal breeders, and pet owners.
The animal genetics market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides animal genetics market statistics, including the animal genetics industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with animal genetics market share, detailed animal genetics market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the animal genetics industry. These animal genetics market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The animal genetics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.29 billion in 2023 to $6.76 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth observed in the historic period can be linked to several factors, including the rising demand for high-quality animal proteins and meat, government initiatives and financial support, the increasing prevalence of genetic diseases, the expansion of livestock populations, and a growing awareness of animal welfare concerns.
The animal genetics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.11 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the wider adoption of advanced genomic technologies, the emergence of portable and affordable genetic testing solutions, a surge in demand for animal-derived products driven by a quest for better nutrition, and an increasing interest in animal-derived dietary supplements. Key trends expected in this period encompass next-generation sequencing (NGS), precision genetic modifications facilitated by techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9, sophisticated genetic identification methods such as DNA profiling and disease testing, and advancements in reproductive technologies.
The animal genetics market is set to experience growth due to the rising demand for animal protein. This demand stems from a preference for protein-rich diets, especially in developed nations, driven by health awareness, fitness trends, and cultural inclinations. Animal genetics plays a crucial role in boosting animal protein production by facilitating the selection and breeding of animals with superior traits such as higher muscle mass, disease resistance, and enhanced reproductive efficiency. This leads to more efficient and productive livestock farming. For example, data from the Food and Agriculture Organization in December 2023 showed a steady increase in global meat production from 350 million tons in 2021 to 355 million tons in 2022, highlighting the growth trajectory of the animal genetics market.
Leading companies in this sector are innovating by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into their platforms to more accurately and efficiently identify desirable traits. AI aids in predicting and detecting genetic disorders early, enabling timely interventions and reducing the occurrence of hereditary diseases in animals. For instance, Zoetis introduced AI blood smear testing to its Vetscan Imagyst platform in April 2022. This AI technology uses deep machine learning to analyze blood smears accurately and efficiently, complementing complete blood count (CBC) results and assisting veterinarians in making informed treatment decisions for animals with hematologic abnormalities. The AI-driven analysis provided by Vetscan Imagyst can detect abnormalities, estimate platelet counts, confirm white blood cell differentials, and identify and count polychromasia, among other details, all within minutes.
In June 2021, Zoetis acquired Basepaws to enhance its genetic testing offerings for pet owners, providing insights into cats' ancestry, breeds, and potential health risks. Basepaws specializes in DNA testing for cats and brings innovative genetic testing solutions to Zoetis' portfolio.
