Automated Poultry Farm Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

The automated poultry farm market is projected to register a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period.

• Automatic poultry equipment and systems provide complete control of all the processes in poultry houses. A complete, customized system for trouble-free operation creates an optimal environment for animal growth. Carcass disposal in the poultry industry has become a welfare issue associated with potential biosecurity risks and detrimental effects on the environment. However, implementing a proper automation system in the poultry processing industry is anticipated to address this challenge across the world. These automated farm equipment are responsible for high automation control of the whole production process by improving production efficiency and effectively saving manpower and material resources.
• The usage of automated poultry farm machinery is highly observed in North America owing to many reasons, such as the high adoption of technology, increasing demand for poultry products, and emerging new entrants into the market with many innovative products.
• Major driving fcato behind the market is increased production of poultry birds globally. For instance, In 2021, across the globe, poultry farming/production is largely produced in the Asia-Pacific region accounting for 14.97 billion poultry birds. However, poultry farm machinery is highly adapted in the North American region due to lack o awareness in the region.

According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), agricultural labor in the percentage of the workforce declined from 28% in 2018 to 26.5% across the globe in 2020. Across the world, a huge decline in the workforce is observed due to various reasons such as lack of skilled labor, aging of farmers, and young farmers finding farming an unattractive profession, thus encouraging trends for automated farming operations. Such a huge decline in the agricultural workforce is encouraging governments and private organizations to focus on agricultural automation equipment and systems.

Managing individual birds (layers/broilers) in the poultry industry requires huge labor and is cost-effective. Automated poultry equipment plays an important role in managing things like maintaining climatic control, hygienic conditions, helping in easy feeding, separation of birds, etc. Thus, with the given global shortage of skilled labor, it is only logical to look for ways to intensify the automation level in a poultry processing plant.

The usage of automated poultry farm machinery is highly observed in North America due to the high adoption of technology, increasing demand for poultry products, and emerging new entrants with innovative products. The United States holds the major market in the region, due to the presence of high production of meat compared to Canada and Mexico. As per the FAOSTAT, in 2021, the United States has around 1.60 billion poultry birds with chickens holding the major count i.e., 1.52 billion, followed by Mexico with 608.4 million poultry birds.

Similarly, in the United States, poultry meat is largely consumed compared to other countries in the region. In 2021, the country produced around 23.2 million metric ton of poultry meat. Poultry farming is the major farming business in the region compared to other livestock animals, and hence the demand for automated poultry equipment has been increasing. With the increasing poultry meat production due to rising consumption, the demand is expected to boost the need for automated poultry farms in the region in coming years.

The automated poultry farm market is fragmented in nature, with the top nine companies accounting for a prominent share while the rest of the companies account for the remaining share. Companies are heavily investing in the development of new products and are acquiring or collaborating with other companies. Along with innovations and expansions, investments in R&D and the development of product portfolios using artificial intelligence are likely to emerge as crucial strategies in the near future.
