Milking Robots Market by System Type (Single-stall Unit, Multi-stall Unit, Automated Milking Rotary), Herd Size (Below 100, Between 100 and 1,000, Above 1,000), Offering (Hardware, Software, Services) and Region - Global Forecast to 2027

Milking Robots Market by System Type (Single-stall Unit, Multi-stall Unit, Automated Milking Rotary), Herd Size (Below 100, Between 100 and 1,000, Above 1,000), Offering (Hardware, Software, Services) and Region - Global Forecast to 2027

The milking robots market is estimated to be worth USD 2.4 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 4.2 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period. Reduced labor costs due to automation in dairy farms, technological advancements in dairy farms, and benefits offered by automatic milking solutions such as milking robots are the major factors driving the market growth globally. However, high initial investment, and trade barriers and stringent government regulations are expected to dampen the market growth.

Herd size between 100 and 1,000 to hold the second largest share of the milking robots market during the forecast period

Farms with an average herd size between 100 and 1,000 are common in North America, Eastern European countries, and China. Farm owners of dairy farms with a herd size between 100 and 1,000 extensively use milking robots as these machines facilitate the milking of multiple cows at a single time, thereby improving the milk yield. Farms with herd sizes between 100 and 1,000 cows prefer robotic milking with multi-stall units. In such units, a single robotic arm serves two or more stalls and is capable of milking up to 500 cows at a time, facilitating ease and convenience in farms with larger herds.

The market for services to register the highest CAGR between 2022 and 2027 in milking robots market

The milking robots market for services is expected to register the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2027. Growing awareness about the benefits of using automated milking solutions especially in farms with large herds and methods to analyze data captured by software platforms and mobile applications are some of the major factors contributing to the growth of the services market.
