Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Milking robots are automated milking systems that allow dairy farms to completely automate the milking process. These systems are typically designed to milk 60 cows, but commercial robots capable of milking up to 80 cows are available on the market. It is used to replace manual labour in the milk collection process. To reduce the risk of infection, milking robots include supporting arms that clean the teats and cover them with disinfectants. Furthermore, advanced solutions with monitoring systems that provide milk production per cow and individual cow health are being developed.

Milking Robot Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing demand for dairy products in food industry is augmenting market growth

The nutritional properties of milk and milk products are the primary factors driving the growth of the global milking robots market. Furthermore, the growing numbers of dairy industries as well as rising demand from the food and beverage industries are boosting the market. This, combined with an increase in the demand for quality and quantity milk as well as the high cost of labour is driving the adoption of robots for operational purposes, thereby boosting market growth.

• Reduction in labour cost and greater emphasis on time adaptability

The primary factors driving the milking robots market include a reduced reliance on difficult work and a greater emphasis on time adaptability. Furthermore, the robot framework monitors vital information, for example, the electrical conductivity of the milk, the production of milk by individual dairy animals, and cow rumination data. This ensures increased milk yield as well as periodic monitoring of the steers' well-being.

Furthermore, the high demand for labour cost reduction through automation in dairy farms is expected to drive market growth. Technological advancements and product launches in dairy farms are also market drivers, and there is a high demand for technology in dairy farms due to increasing herd size, which is expected to drive market growth.

Opportunity

The significant increases in herd sizes, as well as the introduction of innovative and advanced automation technologies are driving demand for milking robot systems in the dairy farming industry. The technology allows for the automation of a wide range of dairy functions, including herd management, milking operations, and dairy farm management. It also makes milk production easier because of the increased efficiency and frequency of the process. The use of robotics technology reduces the need for labour while also assisting in the maintenance of product quality.

Restraints

However, the initial cost of purchasing and maintaining these systems is the primary impediment to market growth. Integration of these systems is still a long way off in countries with small herd sizes. Furthermore, the operation and usability of milking robots are highly dependent on the training provided to cows at dairy farms. Cows must adapt and adjust to the systems in order to be more efficient. Inadequate training is expected to be a major factor slowing the market. Furthermore, because the milking system is operational 24 hours a day, the availability of technical support is critical. This is due to the fact that a breakdown during milking activity can physically damage the herd and delicate sensors of the robot components, resulting in potential repair costs.

COVID-19 Impact on Milking Robot Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has hastened the adoption of robotics and automation in agriculture. Manufacturing of components slowed significantly during the coronavirus crisis in order to stop the spread of the infection. However, with numerous challenges such as supply chain disruption and labour shortages, farm owners are realising that automation may be the key to solving some of the problems in the event of future disruptions. In the midst of the pandemic's widespread disruption, agriculture companies that use robotics and automation to farm could reap significant benefits. The COVID-19 restriction is expected to result in a 70 percent reduction in migrant seasonal workers, and the uncertainty is growing. To combat this, various organisations such as the Agri-EPI Centre and the National Farmers Union have decided to promote the use of agricultural robotics in the market.
