• Rising demand for dairy products from various countries across the globe has resulted in increased need for milk production. Milking robots aid in growing the production volume of milk by milking multiple cows without downtime.

• Shortage of labour experienced in milking is another factor leading to the increased adoption of milking robots in various regions. Automating the milking process reduces the need for labour, thereby reducing costs and fuelling the growth of the milking robots market.

• Manufacturers are focusing on improving milking robots by eliminating chemical reagents in real time, minimising treatment time, and protecting the health of the herd, among others, aiding the expansion of the market for milking robots.

Market Share by System Type

The multi-stall unit is anticipated to hold a large share of the milking robots market owing to the their ability to milk multiple dairy animals at a single time with a single system. These systems have a mobile robot device that supports up to five stalls, where the robot moves from one stall to another and attaches the teat cups. Multi-stall systems are designed for boosting the overall productivity by speeding up the milking process for larger herds and are more cost-effective as fewer systems are required for milking.

Market Share by Region

Europe accounted for a sizable share of the milking robots market during the historical period and is expected to witness steady growth in the coming years, supported by the widespread dairy farms in the region and early adoption of technology. Rising demands for dairy products and limited availability of labour are further increasing the demand for milking robots in Europe. Presence of various key manufacturers in the region and investments in the research and development of milking robots by countries such as the United Kingdom and Germany, are projected to bolster the market over the forecast period.
