Middle East and Africa Smart Collar Tags for Cow Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis by Product Type; Application

The Middle East and Africa smart collar tags for cow market is expected to reach US$ 68.9 million in 2027 from US$ 27.8 million in 2019. The market is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 13.1% from 2020 to 2027.

The growth of this market is estimated to grow owing to key driving factors such as the rising need for cattle tracking solutions and an increasing demand in dairy farming applications. However, the market is expected experiencing slow growth during the forecast period owing to the availability of substitute technologies.

The introduction of the Internet of things (IoT) technology in the livestock industry brought new solutions for dairy farmers to manage the livestock more effectively. New smart technologies, such as real-time animal activity monitoring, automated feeding systems, and health tracking devices, have boosted the revenue margin for dairy farmers. The cost-saving benefits experienced after mounting the collars on a cow is one of the key factors for the market growth. Dairy farmers and ranchers are adopting smart collars to locate and monitor the cow's activities. The IoT-based cattle-tracking collar offers remote visibility of the livestock locations. Securing and protecting the cows from natural disasters, theft, injury, and organized crime are among the key factors augmenting the adoption of these collars in a livestock monitoring application. Rising awareness about IoT technology among livestock owners and farmers is supplementing the market growth. For instance, in January 2020, Chipsafer - a livestock monitoring solution-providing company - introduced a new solution for cattle management. The company introduced a solar-powered collar to offer protection against cattle theft. The company developed this effective solution to avoid cattle rustling incidences, specifically in Kenya.

Growing inclination of dairy farmers and ranchers toward smart agricultural practices and livestock monitoring solutions is mounting the demand for smart collars. Companies are further improving the solution by integrating advanced sensors for enhanced monitoring and tracking features. For instance, Sigfox - a provider of the IoT technology - offered a series of wireless monitoring devices for livestock, including collars and tags. Ranchers are using smart livestock collars offered by the company to monitor the cattle. Further, the cost-saving benefits of smart collars are increasing their incorporation in livestock tracking applications. The demand for wearable livestock trackers is mounting across the globe, which is supporting the market growth. For instance, according to the Sierra Wireless company prediction, the wearable livestock trackers market is expected to reach US$ 2.5 billion by 2025. Such supporting stats and acceptance of the IoT technology in farming and livestock monitoring applications are driving the market.

To reduce the impact of COVID–19, the governments in the MEA region have adopted contingency plans such as complete lockdown and a 24-hour sterilization program. The introduction of lockdowns has resulted in a halt of agricultural activities in the region. The slowdown in agricultural activities in the region has directly impacted smart collar tags for cow sales in the region. Also, most businesses in the region have halted and are expected to continue slower than the usual pace. The countries are taking significant containment measures to reduce the number of infected patients. The COVID-19 outbreak, which has severely affected the livestock, resulted in the declining sales of the smart collar tags for cow in the Middle East and Africa.
