Animal Transportation Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Transportation by Land, Transportation by Sea and Transportation by Air), Type (Personal and Commercial), Animal (Livestock, Aquarium Animals, Pets, Zoo Animals, Research Animals and Other Animals) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Animal Transportation Market is accounted for $374.1 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $534.8 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period. Animal logistics, or the commercial transportation of animals using motor vehicles, is referred to as animal transpor. Animals are shipped internationally and domestically for breeding, butchering, and fattening. The European Regulation has legalized and structured the conditions of animal transportation in order to guarantee the safety of the animals while in transit. This regulation has been in effect since January 2007 and is applicable to all of the member states. Several major market players make sure that animal logistics are safe and hygienic.

According to the Federal Statistical Office (FSO), the meat processing business had a revenue of roughly USD 47.5 billion in 2019, and German companies produced nearly 8 million tonnes of meat.

Market Dynamics

Driver

Rising demand for animals from slaughterhouses and the dairy sector

The increase in consumption of meat, beef, poultry, and dairy products around the world in recent years is what is driving the demand for livestock in slaughterhouses and the dairy industry. As a result, there is a growing demand for safe animal transportation, which is fostering the growth of the global animal transportation market. The demand for safe animal transportation is also being driven by rising meat, beef, poultry, and dairy product consumption, as well as the expansion of the food and lodging industries.

Restraint

Issues faced by vendors due to long-distance transportation

During the forecast period, problems encountered by vendors due to long-distance transportation will be a significant challenge for the animal transportation market. Transporting animals is laborious and slow. Along the way, the animals must be fed and hydrated. Wild animals, disease-carrying insects like tsetse flies, and diseases can all attack pack animals. Additionally, trucks are frequently overloaded with animals in an effort to reduce transportation costs, which causes congestion and the suffocation of animals during long distance trips. Therefore, ensuring safety and hygiene during animal transportation is a significant challenge for market vendors.

Opportunity

Implementation of new technologies

The animal transportation industry is implementing new technologies to increase productivity and reduce shipping costs. Blockchain logistics is one of these technologies. Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that permanently and securely records participant-to-participant transactions. Blockchain effectively eliminates the need for middlemen who were previously required to serve as trusted third parties to function as intermediaries and verify, record, and coordinate transactions by sharing databases among multiple parties. The use of blockchain in the animal logistics industry will increase animal transportation's efficiency and transparency. Future market growth may be enhanced by the increased use of contemporary technologies, which will enable more structured operations.

Threat

Stringent guidelines

Numerous potential transportation-related stresses have the potential to negatively impact animal health and, as a result, the final product's quality. The environment that animals are exposed to during transportation can have an impact on their health. This can include mobility restrictions, unusual noises, vibrations from the vehicle, mixing with other animals, and frequently, dietary and water restrictions. Consequently, a number of regulations are being implemented by European countries to stop the trade in live animals and reduce the number of animals killed while in transit, which could further restrict market expansion.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a negative impact on the global market for animal logistics. The sharp decline in domestic and international travel as well as an increase in flight cancellations have both put a brake on the overall expansion of the animal logistics industry. In addition, it is anticipated that the decline in demand for meat will force the closure of a number of live animal markets due to disruptions in logistics channels, which will have a negative effect on the growth of the animal logistics industry.

The transportation by land segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Due to its extremely convenient road transportation along with its affordable method of moving animals from one location to another, transportation by land segment is estimated to hold a majority share over the forecast period. Cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, and poultry are among the animals that are typically transported by land.

The livestock segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The demand for livestock in slaughterhouses and the dairy industry is being driven by the rise in meat, beef, poultry, and dairy product consumption around the world in recent years. Due to this, the livestock segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. A further factor supporting rising meat consumption is the expansion of the restaurant and hospitality industries. As a result, the US, Australia, Argentina, and the EU are predicted to lead export growth in 2019–20, while China, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and the Republic of Korea are predicted to lead import growth. Additionally, there is a demand for goods like eggs, milk, and other dairy products, which has increased the demand for livestock.

Region with largest share

Because of the expanding population and growing awareness of the health advantages of animal protein, Europe is estimated to hold the largest share of the global market for animal transportation over the coming years. Additionally, it is expected that practical transportation infrastructure in European nations like Germany, France, Spain, and others, along with supportive regulations for animal transportation within the Europe region, will fuel the market's expansion over the upcoming years.

Region with highest CAGR

Over the course of the forecast period, a rise in demand for a variety of animal products, including milk, meat, fur, leather, and eggs, will support the expansion of the North American animal transportation market. The main markets in North America for animal transportation are the US and Canada. For instance, the International Pet and Animal Transportation Association (IPATA) in the United States and Canada has registered more than 50 pet travel businesses. The market is also being supported by a sizable number of innovative and useful pet travel services offered by several regional providers.

Key players in the market

Key Developments

In June 2020, Brussels Airport launched a new Animal Care & Inspection Center, which will be able to change the light and temperature levels of the animals based on their needs. This animal shelter is suitable for both small and large animals.

In January 2020, Delta Airlines, for example, released an expensive option for four-legged animals, a pet-carrier with a GPS tracking system, a built-in water bowl, and a triple locking door that costs roughly US$ 850. The CarePod container allows owners to trace the pet's travel, which is tracked and supervised by skilled professionals.
