DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to MarketsandMarkets, the milking automation market is estimated to be USD 2.61 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 3.68 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.1%.
The global market for milking automation follows a time of significant market transition fueled by a mix of rising milk demand, labor shortages in the dairy sector, and increased focus on managing livestock while increasing efficiency and sustainability. Dairy farming has mostly consisted of manual operations; however, dairy farms are quickly moving towards milking automation, including robotic milking systems, automatic milking parlors, and herd management systems to improve productivity and animal welfare. Adoption is highest in Europe and North America, where larger, organized farms and regulatory supportive systems allow successional market penetration; these regions remain leaders in this market. Nevertheless, widespread adoption has yet to occur. However, the market is generally going to be characterized by consistent growth, as adoption will be necessary. It can help realize some of the global aggravation regarding food security, good quality assurance of products, optimization of natural resources, and customized production to meet customer needs.

Software to capture a significant share within the offering segment of the milking automation market.
Software in milking automation has progressed from simple yield logs to integrated decision engines that connect milking events with health, reproduction, nutrition, and compliance. At its core, herd management platforms aggregate data from parlors or robots, sensors, and ID systems into role-based dashboards and action lists. These systems reconcile milk yield by stall or robot with cow identification, lactation stage, and parity; track alerts such as incomplete milkings, kick-offs, and abnormal conductivity; and generate daily worklists for mastitis checks, re-attachments, dry-off candidates, and reproduction interventions. The best platforms present clean, prioritized tasks aligning with SOPs to convert data into action while maintaining immutable histories that satisfy milk buyer audits and regulatory inspections for treatments, diversion, and withdrawal periods. Because farms increasingly rely on multiple vendors for sensors and equipment, interoperability is now table stakes: open APIs, standardized data schemas, and local language support matter as much as feature depth.
Goats are set to witness a significant CAGR in the milking automation market during the forecast period.
Goat dairying is transitioning from smallholder craft to semi-industrial production, an inflection requiring automation, which was happening with demand vectors; specialty/PDO cheeses, ingredients for infant formulas, lactose-sensitive consumers, mostly emerging in the Mediterranean, MENA, and parts of East Africa, India, China, and North America. Attributes of goats' physiology and behavior require species-specific consideration in engineering: small teat morphology, faster milk-out, higher pulsation rates at lower vacuum levels to protect teat-end condition, and stall designs that cater to the flightier nature of goats were limitations. Purpose-built parallel and compact rotary parlors are the system of choice for goat dairying today. The system components that facilitate automation, small stall spacing, a gentle liner, automatic detachers, auto-spray, and inline meters with conductivity/color sensors are occupied daily with herds of a few hundred to several thousand. Automated drafting of goats is especially valuable because grouping by lactation stage and health is difficult, and very useful, primarily for work on seasonal breeding, which concentrates labor loads and milking times.

Based on region, Asia Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing market for milking automation.
The Asia Pacific region will see the fastest expansion of milking automation from 2025 to 2030, driven by structural demand impact (rising consumption of milk and shift in protein consumption), significant greenfield investments (mega-dairies in China and parts of India), and policy-driven agricultural modernization initiatives. The region comprises heterogeneous dairy markets: Australia and New Zealand are mature adopters with o?-peak dairy sectors that are increasingly utilizing robotics and parlors designed to optimize pasture-based systems as permanently incorporated systems, while China is pursuing aggressive verticalization (building mega-dairies with thousands of cows) in favor of maximum rotaries and encouraging integration of data platforms in their vertical integration; India's growth path is more nuanced with mass cooperative models and states that are embracing regional modernization programs driving some parlor standardization and in some cases selective robotic pilots, especially in states with commercial dairy sectors. Southeast Asia and South Korea/Japan re?ect a continuum of markets: Japan and South Korea are at the high end of adoption rates as regards high-tech farms as to specialty and consolidated farms, whereas Southeast Asia is a collection of fragmented producers, and semi-automation adoption is growing, sensor-based milk quality monitoring is emerging, and finance is now driving some adoption.
