Global animal genetics market was valued at USD 6.11 million in 2018. It is expected to grow at 4.9% CAGR over the forecast period. Market growth is driven by factors such as growing population and rapid global urbanization, increasing preference for animal protein, and adoption of different genetic services. The adoption of advanced genetic practices such as Artificial Insemination and embryo transfer for large-scale production is expected to increase growth.
The study of animal genetics focuses on the inheritance and variation in genetic traits and wild animals. This science is often used commercially for genetic testing, genetic trait testing and DNA typing. This technique uses ontogenetic, hybrid populations, and cytological research to define genetic hybridizations.
According to a 2015 study by Meat and Livestock Australia, genetically modified (GM) cattle produced more milk and were less susceptible to common cattle diseases such as bovine respiratory disorder complex & clostridia. This resulted in high overall profits for cattle farmers.
The market will be driven by the adoption of advanced genetic technology and the implementation of animal welfare regulations. To meet unmet animal protein needs, there is a rise in livestock populations and awareness of animal genetic disorders. The market growth is limited by strict regulations regarding animal genetic engineering, high costs of animal testing and a shortage of skilled professionals.
Another factor driving market growth is the increase in R&D by scientists to create healthier foods and milk products from animals through genetic modifications. According to the British Nutrition Foundation, genetically modified cows are expected to produce milk that is free from allergens. This will make it suitable for people who are lactose intolerant. According to the National Institute of Health in 2017, nearly 8% of British citizens were suffering from lactose intolerance. The modifications will open up new opportunities for animal genetics over the next few years.
The largest share of 2018 was held by the porcine segment, based on live animal genetic material. The largest share of 2018's live animal genetic materials was held by the porcine segment. This is due to a large customer base for pork meat and products as well as increased penetration of advanced genetic research. The segment will also grow because of environmental factors like comparatively low land requirements and low maintenance of animals.
The key factor driving higher growth in this segment is the increasing shift to white meat consumption. The main factors driving genetic research in the poultry sector are its affordability and low incidence of food-related diseases transmissions. The shift in consumer preference from red meat to white meat has been facilitated by rising government efforts to reduce environmental impacts and increase awareness in Europe. This shift will open up new opportunities for animal genetics in order to increase white meat production to meet growing demand.
The largest market share was held by the embryo segment based on genetic material in 2018. It is expected that it will continue to hold its position throughout the forecast period. Segment revenue is high because of the embryo's higher efficiency than semen. Embryo transfers in cattle are primarily used to increase reproduction rates. Importing embryos is usually cheaper than semen or postnatal animals. The embryo allows for the breeding of the entire herd in a single generation.
The semen segment will grow at the fastest rate of CAGR over the forecast period. The high growth is due to the increasing use of AI and semen sexing for cattle, sheep and goats breeding.
According to services, the segment of genetic disease testing is expected to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period. The growing use of genomic tests by farm owners to avoid financial losses and to preserve live animals' productivity can explain this growth. The most popular service offered by animal genetic companies is DNA typing and parentage test.
The market growth in genetic disease testing is driven by pet ownership. As pet ownership increases, so will genetic trait tests such as parentage and tests for color. In order to guarantee a disease-free breed, genetic disease testing in livestock animals is also expected to increase during the forecast period.
North America is the largest shareholder of the animal genetics industry. This is due to the high level of research in animal genetics and the use strategic activities by industry players such as acquisitions. Neogen acquired Livestock Genetic Services in 2018. This firm is involved in data management as well as genetic evaluations for cattle breeding organisations. This acquisition allowed the company to expand its genetic evaluation capabilities.
Europe was the second largest market for animal genetics. This is largely due to increased awareness and higher expenditures on veterinary services. According to the 2017 European Pet Food Industry Federation publication, 75 million households have a pet.
Asia Pacific is expected to experience a greater CAGR during the forecast period. Market growth is expected to be driven by the increase in animal care services at both veterinary hospitals as well as community-level centers. Because of a shortage of healthcare professionals and low per-capita income, the MEA has the lowest share. This region is seeing a rising demand for efficient genetic tests and other services to test genetic diseases in animals. This will help foster the adoption of animal genetics over the next few years.
Genus Plc, Envigo Corporation, Topigs Norsvin, CRV Holding B.V, Groupe Grimaud La Corbiere SA, Hendrix Genetics BV, Neogen Corporation, Zoetis, Inc, URUS, and Animal Genetics, Inc are some of the key players. The food industry continues to demand genetically modified animals in order to improve productivity. Market growth will be slowed by strict regulations and long lead times.
The development of new live animals, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, as well as regional expansion for revenue share, are all key activities. Companies can expand their geographical reach and portfolio by developing a disease-resistant breed. Genus, for example, partnered with Beijing Capital Agribusiness in China in May 2019. BCA will help the company use its patented technology in order to breed PRRSV-resistant animals.
