Overview
As per the industry experts at CMI, the global dairy herd management market will witness a double-digit CAGR between 2025 and 2034. This could be attributed to the growing demand for dairy herd management solutions fueled by rising awareness of herd health, the requirement of optimizing productivity, and governments’ initiatives promoting smart dairy farming technologies and precision agriculture. Asia Pacific is expected to be the quickest growing region due to increased urbanization, dairy farm modernization in India and China.
Key Trends & Drivers
- Automation to Spell Growth: Automated dairy management systems are driving the market due to their ability to streamline the farm operations, improve productivity, and reduce labor costs. Such systems do provide feeding patterns and real-time monitoring of animal health, thereby facilitating proactive management decisions. The farmers are increasingly preferring automated systems for their integration into the IoT-enabled devices and scalability on the modern dairy farms.
- Milk Harvesting Sector to Catalyze Growth: There is a rising adoption of milking parlors and milking robots, which do ascertain milk yields of higher quality, reduce dependency on labor, and improve efficiency of milking. Also, rising sizes of herds, advancements in the automated milking systems, and integrating sensors for the real-time milk yields do make such systems more efficient from the farmers’ perspective. As such, the milk harvesting sector continues to hold the largest market share in the dairy herd management applications.

SWOT Analysis
- Strengths: Increased demand for dairy products as well as alternatives does provide a robust market base. Lower manufacturing costs do create opportunities for exporting dairy and milk products. A huge chunk of trained manpower is being made available for R&D activities. The governments’ policies as well as support are capable of driving growth.
- Weaknesses: Various regions have a dense population of the low-yielding animals. Also, milk production could be seasonal. Also, inadequate infrastructure, such as an unreliable power supply and poor roads, hinders the collection of milk in the under-developed economies. A large population of farmers in these regions is also not aware of modern-day scientific farming.
- Opportunities: Implementation of technologies such as herd management software is capable of improving decision-making and efficiency. Emphasizing better veterinary care and animal genetics could increase milk quality and yields. Diversification into the value-added dairy products could increase the profitability. Also, using dairy herd management systems for dairy alternatives does present novel opportunities for R&D activities and investment.
- Threats: Natural calamities do pose a risk with respect to dairy farming. Competition from foreign and dairy players is one of the major threats. Ascertaining consistency in the quality of raw milk with the threat of adulteration does remain a notable issue.
