Animal Genetics Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F

Live Product is the fastest growing segment, North America is the largest regional market

The Global Animal Genetics Market, valued at USD 6.45 Billion in 2024, is projected to experience a CAGR of 8.03% to reach USD 10.25 Billion by 2030. Animal genetics involves the study of heredity and variation in animal species, primarily applied to enhance desirable traits such as disease resistance, productivity, and overall health. The market's expansion is significantly driven by the escalating global demand for animal-derived protein products, including meat, milk, and eggs, necessitating more efficient livestock production. Concurrently, advancements in genetic technologies like genomic selection and artificial insemination are enabling more precise breeding

Key Market Drivers

The increasing global demand for animal-derived protein serves as a primary catalyst for the animal genetics market. A burgeoning global population, coupled with evolving dietary preferences and rising incomes, necessitates more efficient and sustainable animal production. This imperative drives significant investment in genetic improvements to enhance livestock productivity and the nutritional quality of animal products. According to the FAO, in June 2025, Food Outlook, world meat production is forecast to expand by 0.6 percent year on year to reach 380 million tonnes in 2025, reflecting persistent global consumption.

Key Market Challenges

Growing ethical concerns related to animal welfare and the societal acceptance of genetically modified animals and their derived products are emerging as a notable constraint on the growth of the Global Animal Genetics Market. Heightened public scrutiny of intensive farming practices, coupled with apprehension toward genetic modification technologies, is contributing to consumer reluctance and, in some cases, reduced demand for animal-based protein products. This resistance directly affects the adoption of advanced genetic solutions that are designed to improve livestock productivity, disease resistance, and overall herd performance.

Key Market Trends

The growth of AI-driven breeding programs represents a significant trend in the global animal genetics market, revolutionizing how genetic selection is approached. Artificial intelligence facilitates the analysis of extensive genetic and phenotypic data, enabling more precise identification of desirable traits and optimization of breeding strategies.

This technological integration moves beyond traditional methods by leveraging predictive analytics to improve genetic gain, enhance animal health, and boost productivity with greater efficiency. For instance, according to Canada's agriculture ministry, in June 2024, up to CA$1,627,270 was allocated to the Canadian Angus Association for investment in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision systems to capture genetic traits data more efficiently. This illustrates a direct investment in advanced computational tools to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of breeding decisions across various livestock species.
