Global Animal Genetics Market: Global Size, Trends, Competitive, Historical & Forecast Analysis, 2026-2032- Rising consumption of animal-derived protein and increasing scientific breeding of animals, growing adoption of advanced genetic technologies, rising focus on research and development in animal genetics are some major factors driving the growth of Global Animal Genetics Market.

Genetics is the investigation of genes and their belongings in living organisms. The data in an organism’s genes qualities give a biological to its appearance, capacity and survival and to a great extent characterizes its similarities and differences with different organic entities. The genetics of farm animals are thusly a basic factor impacting animal production and health. The Animal Production and Genetics Unit drive FAO's activities supporting nations in the management of the genetics of their animal’s populaces. Main aim of animal genetics is to produce animal breeds of best quality with best outcome material such as milk, wool and protein. Animal genetics is one of the best backbones of the livestock expansion together with the animal nourishment, animal health, and husbandry issues for example the housing. Animal genetics refers to the part of genetics qualities that deal with the investigation of legacy and gene variation in domestic and wild animals. This includes animal breeding, gene expression and physical genetic characteristics like facial shape, body structure, coat colour and others which is completely based on heredity. Animal genetics is utilized for DNA testing, genetic diseases testing, and genetic trait testing.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the growth of global animal genetics market. During COVID-19 outbreak, the government of various countries implemented restriction to transportation which disrupts the supply chain of animal genetics products. During this pandemic, the demand for funds for human health has increased dramatically in all countries, this has definitively generate a research funds shortage for other species, such as livestock. Animal breeding is a very small and concentrated industry with a very well-organized sector and a clear distribution of the tasks. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted field activities deeply such as; interruption of farm visits for nonessential activities, such as milk recording, type evaluation, bull dams, and bull sire’s recruitment. Thus, due to all these impacts it has shown a decline in the growth of global animal genetics market.

Recent Developments in the Animal Genetics Market

1. Zoetis to Acquire Neogen’s Animal Genomics Business — March 2026

In March 2026, Zoetis announced a definitive agreement to acquire the animal genomics business of Neogen Corporation for approximately USD 160 million, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory requirements. The acquisition is intended to strengthen Zoetis’ Precision Animal Health portfolio by integrating advanced genomic testing, genetic data, and predictive analytics. These capabilities can help livestock producers and veterinarians make more informed decisions about animal health, breeding, productivity, and disease prevention.

2. Hendrix Genetics Expands Precision Breeding Technology — May 2026

In May 2026, Hendrix Genetics advanced the commercial rollout of its Big I multispectral imaging system for swine breeding. Developed through a six-year collaboration with PhenoGeneSys Metrics and Alpha Phenomics, the technology supports rapid phenotyping and early health surveillance. By capturing animal-level data more efficiently, the system can improve breeding selection decisions, support animal welfare, and accelerate genetic progress in commercial pig production.

3. Genus and Beijing Capital Agribusiness Strengthen Swine Genetics in China — February 2026

Genus plc reported the formation of its Chinese porcine joint venture with Beijing Capital Agribusiness Co. Ltd. in February 2026. The venture is structured with Genus holding a 49% stake and its Chinese partner holding 51%. This development is intended to expand access to advanced swine genetics in China and support the development and delivery of innovative breeding solutions, including disease-resistance technologies.

4. Hendrix Genetics and Huanshan Group Establish a Swine Breeding Farm — January 2026

In January 2026, Hendrix Genetics partnered with Huanshan Group to establish the Hendrix Huanshan Nucleus Farm in China. The facility is designed to strengthen elite swine breeding infrastructure through improved biosecurity, genetic traceability, and precision farm management. The initiative reflects the industry's growing focus on developing high-performance animals with improved health, production efficiency, and resilience.

5. Regulatory Progress for PRRS-Resistant Gene-Edited Pigs — January 2026

In January 2026, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency determined that feed derived from PRRS-resistant gene-edited pigs developed by PIC did not raise livestock-feed safety or nutritional concerns compared with conventional pigs. This followed earlier regulatory progress in the United States for the same genetic trait. The development highlights the potential of gene-editing technologies to address porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), a disease that can cause substantial losses in pig production. Broader commercialization will continue to depend on regulatory requirements, market acceptance, and production economics.

6. India Registers 16 New Indigenous Animal Breeds — August 2026

On August 7, 2026, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) announced the registration of 16 additional indigenous livestock and dog breeds across nine animal species and 13 states and one union territory. The newly registered breeds include Koppal, Mahakaushali, Periyar, and Umarda cattle, along with the Gomanchali buffalo, Madgyal sheep, Nagal pig, and Kombai dog. The registrations strengthen the documentation and recognition of India's animal genetic resources, supporting breed conservation, genetic diversity, and future research in animal breeding.

Rising Consumption of Animal-Derived Protein and Increasing Scientific Breeding of Animals, Growing Adoption of Advanced Genetic Technologies, Rising Focus on Research and Development in Animal Genetics are Some Major Factors Driving the Market Growth

One of the major factors driving the growth of global animal genetics market is rising consumption of animal-derived protein and rising scientific breeding of animals. For instance; according to the Nurses' Health study detailed that poultry; fish and low-fat dairy were related with a lower risk of heart diseases. Animal protein is additionally connected with positive health impacts, regardless of frequently being portrayed as unhealthy compared with plant protein. In addition, increasing adoption of advanced genetic technologies is also supplementing the market growth. Furthermore, growing focus on research and development in animal genetics has been playing a key role in driving the global animal genetics market. For instance, in September 2020, Genus PLC entered an essential coordinated effort with Tropic Biosciences to work on the Gene Editing prompted Gene Silencing (GEiGS) technology developed by Tropic Biosciences in porcine and cow-like genetic applications. And, in February 2020, Neogen partnered with Gencove, a genetic testing organization, to develop Neogen's next generation of animal genomic tests.

However, high cost of animal testing and stringent regulatory framework for genetic engineering may hamper the growth of global animal genetics market. In spite of that, the governments across the world are focusing on implementing policies to make sure sustainable livestock farming practices can offer more opportunities for the further growth of the global animal genetics market.

North America is Expected to Dominate the Global Animal Genetics Market

North America is expected to dominate the animal genetics market within the forecast period attributed to the rising cattle production, increasing adoption of advanced genetic technologies and presence of key players in this region. For instance; as indicated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), in 2021 report, the total cattle stocks in the U.S. represented 94,413 thousand out of 2020, 94,805 thousand IN 2019, and 94,298 thousand IN 2018. Asia Pacific is expected to witness a fastest growth in the global animal genetics market due to growing awareness about technologically advanced animal genetic products & services and increasing population and urbanization in this region.
