The global animal genetics market size was estimated at USD 7.80 Billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 13.35 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.95% from 2025 to 2033. The market for animal genetics is advancing, driven by rising demand for animal protein, advancements in genetic technologies, and growing focus on animal health & disease resistance.
The global demand for meat, milk, and eggs continues to grow, fueled by population expansion, income growth, and changing dietary preferences. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations report of 2025, global milk production has surged by over 77% in the past 30 years, rising from 524 million tonnes in 1992 to 930 million tonnes in 2022. India leads as the top producer, contributing 22% of total output, followed by the U.S., Pakistan, China, and Brazil.
This surge places pressure on livestock producers to enhance efficiency and productivity. Animal genetics plays a key role by enabling selective breeding, improving reproductive efficiency, and producing superior breeds with higher yields. By enhancing disease resistance, growth rates, and product quality, genetic advancements help farmers meet increasing protein needs sustainably. The shift toward premium meat and dairy products also accelerates adoption of genetic solutions, driving significant growth in the animal genetics industry worldwide. The graph below illustrates rising meat consumption of various types for the year 2022:
Continuous innovation in genomics, artificial insemination, gene editing, and marker-assisted selection has transformed animal breeding. Advanced technologies like CRISPR and next-generation sequencing (NGS) allow precise genetic improvement, reducing disease risks while enhancing productivity and efficiency. Such breakthroughs are increasingly accessible to both large-scale commercial farms and smaller breeding programs, supporting widespread adoption. Additionally, genomic selection accelerates breeding cycles and improves the predictability of offspring traits. These innovations reduce costs over time and improve return on investment for breeders, encouraging stronger industry participation. As technology integration increases, animal genetics becomes an indispensable tool for sustainable livestock production.
Disease outbreaks in livestock, such as avian influenza, African swine fever, and bovine respiratory disease, cause massive economic losses globally. This has heightened the focus on breeding animals with enhanced immunity and resilience. Genetic tools enable the identification and propagation of disease-resistant traits, lowering dependency on antibiotics and veterinary interventions. Breeding healthier animals not only reduces mortality rates but also improves welfare standards and overall productivity. As governments, farmers, and consumers demand safer, healthier animal products, genetic improvement is increasingly recognized as a cost-effective, long-term solution to strengthen biosecurity and ensure more resilient livestock populations
