Global Demand Expands Steadily, Pig Equipment Market Shows Broad Prospects

Driven by factors such as the increasing global demand for pork products, the promotion of large-scale breeding models, supportive government policies and continuous technological innovation, the global pig equipment market maintains a stable growth momentum. The market structure is constantly optimizing, regional development presents differentiated characteristics, and intelligent and environmentally friendly products have become the core driving force for market growth, showing broad development prospects in the long run.

The global market scale continues to expand with strong growth drivers. Data shows that the global livestock farm equipment market is expected to reach USD 18.7 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.8% from 2024 to 2033, and pig equipment, as a key segment, accounts for a significant proportion of the market share. In China, the pig equipment market is expected to exceed RMB 90 billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of around 8%. This growth is mainly supported by the increasing proportion of large-scale breeding, policy support for the modernization of animal husbandry and the large-scale application of intelligent technologies. Among various product segments, automated feeding systems occupy a dominant position with a market share of more than 35%, followed by environmental control equipment and waste treatment equipment, accounting for about 25% and 20% respectively, reflecting the industry's dual demand for improving production efficiency and environmental protection standards.

Policy support provides a favorable development environment for the industry. Governments around the world have introduced a series of policies to promote the modernization and green development of the pig farming industry. Many countries provide subsidies for the purchase of intelligent and environmentally friendly pig equipment, encouraging farms to carry out equipment upgrading and transformation. In China, policies such as the 14th Five-Year Plan for Intelligent Manufacturing and the 14th Five-Year Plan for Raw Material Industry Development encourage the research and development of high-efficiency and energy-saving pig equipment, and strengthen the supervision of environmental protection in the breeding industry, accelerating the elimination of low-efficiency and high-pollution equipment. The European Union and other regions have introduced strict animal welfare and environmental protection regulations, which promote the upgrading of pig equipment in the direction of environmental protection, intelligence and animal welfare protection. These policies have effectively stimulated market demand and promoted the standardized development of the industry.

Regional market development presents obvious differentiated characteristics. The Asia-Pacific region, as the core growth pole of the global pig equipment market, relies on improved industrial chain supporting facilities, strong downstream demand and the layout of emerging industries to contribute the main growth increment. East China and South China in China, with high economic development level and high concentration of pig farming, continue to lead the market, while the central and western regions, driven by policy support and industrial transfer, are gradually forming new growth poles, with an expected compound annual growth rate of 12%. In Europe and North America, the demand for high-end pig equipment remains stable, focusing on product performance in environmental protection, animal welfare and intelligence. Emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and Latin America, with the acceleration of local breeding industry upgrading and the improvement of environmental awareness, have shown strong market potential, becoming new growth points for the global pig equipment market.

Demand structure is continuously optimized, and high-value-added segments become growth cores. The demand for traditional basic equipment remains stable, while intelligent, environmentally friendly and biosecurity equipment have become the main driving forces for market growth. In the field of large-scale breeding, the demand for integrated intelligent equipment systems is growing rapidly, including integrated solutions such as automated feeding, intelligent environmental control, waste treatment and health monitoring. The penetration rate of intelligent environmental control systems is expected to increase from the current 30% to more than 50% by 2025, significantly reducing labor costs and optimizing breeding benefits. Data monitoring and cloud platform services have become new growth points. Real-time data collection and analysis functions help breeding enterprises optimize disease prevention, feed management and production scheduling. The related market scale is expected to grow from USD 1.2 billion in 2023 to USD 2.3 billion in 2028. In addition, with the increasing emphasis on food safety, the demand for traceability equipment and biosecurity equipment in the downstream slaughtering and processing links is also growing steadily.

The competitive pattern is gradually optimized, and technology and service become core barriers. The global pig equipment market is relatively fragmented, with a large number of small and medium-sized manufacturers, but the market concentration is showing an upward trend. The competition focus is shifting from price competition to value competition, and enterprises with core technologies in intelligent control, environmental protection treatment and biosecurity, as well as comprehensive service capabilities, have more advantages. The upgrading of customized services has become a trend. Free scheme design, technical guidance, after-sales maintenance and other services have become standard configurations, helping enterprises improve customer stickiness. With the deepening of global economic integration, cross-border trade of pig equipment is becoming more frequent. Under the promotion of regional trade agreements such as RCEP, the export of high-quality pig equipment in emerging economies is growing rapidly, further enriching the global market supply pattern.

Looking forward to the future, the pig equipment industry will continue to benefit from the global promotion of large-scale breeding, the deepening of green development concepts and the continuous innovation of intelligent technologies. The integration of emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence with pig equipment will be further deepened, promoting products to develop in the direction of precision, automation and integration. Although the industry still faces challenges such as high initial investment and technical barriers, the overall development prospects are broad. Enterprises that focus on technological innovation, environmental protection upgrading and service optimization will gain more development opportunities in the market competition and promote the sustainable and healthy development of the global pig farming industry.
