Milking Equipment Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type(Fully Automatic Milking Equipment, Semi-Automatic Milking Equipment), By System (Portable milking equipment, Stationary milking equipment, Barn milking equipment), By Application (Micro Dairy Farms, Macro Dairy Farms, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Milking equipment is a machine that uses a vacuum system to extract milk from cows and buffaloes. This milking machine is designed to remove milk quickly and efficiently while causing no physical damage to the teat. This machine also reduces the risk of infection from pathogenic microorganisms that cause mastitis. A milking equipment installation consists of a pipework device connected to various vessels and components to provide milk and air flow routes. These also improve milk quality and yield while reducing the need for professional farm workers to perform the manual milking process.

Milking equipments are expected to witness huge growth due to the global demand for milk for human consumption and dairy processing is rising. The rise in adoption of milking machines, high investment in dairy farming, regulatory bodies' promotion of milking machine use, and global dairy cattle population growth are some of the major factors driving the global milking machine industry. Additionally, the market is expected to be propelled by rapid growth in rural co-operative dairy businesses and increased knowledge of these machines around the world during the forecast period.

The advancement in technology, adoption of automation and demand for organic milk is further stimulting the milking equipment market growth over forecast period. The recent business strategies of leading dairy manufacturers reflect their emphasis on reducing labor dependence, which is encouraging the use of advanced automated technology in modern dairy manufacturing facilities. However, regular cost & high initial investment required for the maintenance of the machinery are some of the major restraints of the global milking machine market. Targeting new dairy business, development of innovative products and penetration of products through e-commerce business are expected to create significant opportunities for the market.

Key Industry Developments

• In January 2019 - GEA Group AG – a German manufacturer in the milking machine market – announced that it has introduced DairyRobot R9500—a new cow-milking robot, which is engineered to increase on-farm efficiency and improve the milking process. The company claims that the DairyRobot R9500 the industry’s first real-time Somatic Cell Count (SCC) monitoring unit that assesses milk flow throughout the entire milking process to detect mastitis early in order to protect the health of the herd and minimize treatment time.


• In April 2019 - Fullwood Packo – a European manufacturer of automated milking systems – announced that it has entered a strategic outsourcing partnership with PP Control & Automation (PP C&A) to get a significantly more value-added and cross-functional manufacturing solution. With this partnership, the company aims to free up its valuable manufacturing resource and bypass the challenge of availability of additional skilled labour physical space issues or to focus more on growing its business in the milking machine market.
