Animal Genetics Market Summary and Scope

Animal Genetics Market Dynamics and Trends

The market is driven by the increasing demand for animal genetics for DNA testing, genetic trait testing, genetic disease training, and animal breeding applications. Animal genetics provide several benefits such as cattle beef feeding, increasing seed stock, and cattle production. Animal genetics is useful for the identification of the superior breeds inbreeding to increase the high reproduction rate. The increasing consumption of animal proteins based dietary supplements and food shall stimulate market growth. There is increasing adoption of advanced genetic technologies such as artificial insemination, embryo transfer, and others. There is growing awareness regarding veterinary genetic diseases.

The market is witnessing the manufacturing expansion for the production of the animal genetics products. For instance, in July 2018, Hy-Line International, the world leader in layer poultry genetics had launched the world’s largest layer hatchery by Huayu Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., named the Huayu International Poultry Incubation Center. This hatchery has a production capacity of 60 million female commercial chicks annually. The hatchery equipment, design, construction, and biosecurity are world-class.

In February 2017, Novogen had launched a new GP site in Ile-et-Vilaine, France. The new building is built in a U shape across a total surface area of 1,920 m2. It has a capacity to hold about 13,000 Grand Parents in two houses measuring roughly 800m2 each which are equipped with central automated nest boxes. The integration of this new production site would enable the NOVOGEN to further increase the production area and to ensure that the clients are continuously supplied with the best quality products.

In September 2017, Neogen Corporation had established an animal genomics facility at The University of Queensland Gatton campus in a move that would reinforce UQ’s capacity to support the livestock industry and animal breeders.

Several organizations, institutes, and associations are working on animal genetics. For instance, in August 2019, The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) had entered into the collaboration with India’s National Institute of Animal Biotechnology (NIAB) to work together in livestock genetics and animal health research programs for human and livestock development in India.

However, stringent regulations regarding animal genetic engineering shall hinder market growth. The high cost of animal testing and lack of skilled professionals for animal genetics could have a negative impact on the market.

Animal Genetics Market Segment Analysis

Animal Genetics Market is segmented based on live animals as the porcine, bovine, poultry, canine, and others. Porcine segment accounts for the highest market share of XX% in 2019 due to the growing consumer base of pork and pork products. Pork is the most widely-eaten meat across the globe. Pork accounts for approximately 35% of the world's meat intake. There is increasing penetration of advanced genetic research for porcine. The limited land requirements and low maintenance for the porcine shall stimulate market growth.

The poultry segment is expected to have positive market growth due to the increasing consumption of white meat. There is an increasing consumer shift from red meat toward white meat. There is growing usage of the by-products of poultry as manure. The poultry animals are creating robust economic value for livestock farmers. The domestic fowls, including chickens, turkeys, geese, and ducks, were raised for the production of meat or eggs. The pocket-friendliness and low rate of food-related disease transmissions are driving the genetic research related to poultry. Animal genetics would help to boost white meat production to meet the growing demand of white meat production.

Further, the market is also classified based on genetic materials as embryos, and semen. The embryo segment accounts for the highest market share of XX% in 2019 due to the higher efficiency of the embryo. Transfer of the embryos is useful for amplifying the reproduction rates. Embryo transfers are beneficial for larger-scale production and quality breeds. There is a growing preference for genetic modification procedures due to the low cost of importing the embryos. Embryos have the efficiency of changing the breed of the entire herd within a single generation.

Animal Genetics Market Geographical Share

By region, the global animal genetics market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle-East, and Africa. Among all of the regions, North America dominated the global animal genetics market and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecasted period owing to the growing adoption of advanced technologies in animal genetics. Advanced animal genetic technologies such as embryo transfer, artificial insemination (AI), and others are useful for improving animal breeding for efficient growth and reproduction of healthy animals. There is the presence of a large number of companies providing animal genetic products and services. The growing awareness regarding animal welfare shall stimulate market growth.

Asia-Pacific is expected to have positive market growth due to the growing animal care services, both at veterinary hospitals and community-level centers. There is an increasing livestock population across the region. There is increasing usage of animal genetics for producing the animals with the most desirable traits. The genetic produce animals are able to produce more amount of the products and are less prone to the diseases. There is increasing research and development activities for producing healthier food and milk products from livestock animals by genetic modifications. The growing demand for animal-derived protein shall stimulate market growth over the forecasted period.
