Milking Robots Market is segmented By Type (Single-Stall, Multi-Stall), By Herd Size (<100 Cows, 100-200 Cows, >200 Cows), and By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) – Share, Size, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2024-2031
Milking Robots Market Size
Global Milking Robots Market reached USD million in 2022 and is projected to witness lucrative growth by reaching up to USD 5,923.29 million by 2030. The market is growing at a CAGR of 16.7% during the forecast period (2024-2031). In 2022, the global milking robots market witnessed growth, owing to the increase in the consumer demand for milk.
One of the major factors driving the trend is that more than half of all workers on dairy farms are immigrants and the country's hard-line policy stances are signaling that labor could be even harder to come by. Therefore, it is anticipated that robots can cut the number of workers on a dairy farm by 50%.

Market Dynamics
Increasing consumer awareness about bthe enefits of milking robots
According to the data published by American Dairy Science Association in 2022, an increase in the milking robot trend and adoption he milking robots helps to reduce labor costs (84.6%), improve herd performance (73.1%), improve cow's welfare (76.9%), and reduce the number of employees (69.2%). It also helps to improve the life quality of cows (50%) and improve reproductive performance and milk production (36%). According to the article published by De Koning, it helps to increase 5-10% of milk production.
An increase in the production of milk globally creatan es opportunity
According to the data published by OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2022-2031, world milk production (roughly 81% cow milk, 15% buffalo milk) increased by 1.1% to about 887 Mt in 2021, which is primarily driven byan increase in the dairy herd number in India and Pakistan. The amount of milk produced by the three biggest exporters of dairy products, New Zealand, the United States, and the European Union, varied from a minor increase to the upcoming season.
Market Segment Analysis
The global milking robots market is segmented based on type, herd size and region.
Increase in the large farm sizes worlwide
Milking robots have been segmented by herd size as <100 Cows, 100-200 Cows, and >200 Cows.
In 2022, >200 cows segment accounted for approximately 16.4% market share in the global milking robots market. >200 cows segment accounted for the largest market share of the milking robots, owing to the increase in the use of milking automation to reduce labor costs. A 24-bail internal herringbone rotary is used in the robotic rotary. Cows stand with their heads looking out and their rumps facing in at a 30-degree angle. The five centrally situated robots can approach the cows from the side thanks to the 30-degree angle.

Market Geographical Share
Owing to increase in the milk production in North America, there is rising demand for milking robots
By region, the global milking robots market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle-east and America.
In 2022, the North America region accounted for approximately 16.1% of the market share in the global milking robots market. Milk output increased slightly in Canada, despite a slowdown in milk deliveries due to labor constraints and plummeted milk sales in early 2022. In June 2021, The University of British Columbia (UBC) Dairy Education and Research Center partnered with GEA for research purposes. With the partnership, UBC would become the largest robotic milking research facility in North America with six GEA DairyRobot R9500 box robots.

COVID-19 Impact on Market
Ukraine-Russia War
As in 2022, Russia continued to bomb power plants in Ukraine dairy farmers were using diesel generators for milking. Over a million homes and businesses in central and western Ukraine are currently without electricity. According to Ukraine's President Zelenskyy, the country's electrical infrastructure has suffered catastrophic damage to almost 40% of it.
In an effort to save energy, many cities around the country are experiencing blackouts that last up to four hours at a time. Cows still need to be milked, so a dairy farm near Kropyvnytskyi had been running on diesel generators for days to keep things going. The Ukraine-Russia War has negatively impacted the milking robots market.
Artificial Intelligence Impact Analysis
The employment of AI may bring about a revolution in the dairy sector, starting with dairy farms and ending with the plate of the customer. The majority of the work involved in dairy farm operations as well as in the processing sector for the preparation of dairy products can be automated with the use of AI technology, which may ultimately save time and money.
The dairy business may utilize a variety of AI applications, including those using robotics, drones, sensors, 3D printing, virtual reality, blockchains, and artificial neural networks.
