India Veterinary Artificial Insemination Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Normal Semen, Sexed), By Animal Type (Cattle, Swine), By Distribution Channel, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2021 - 2028

Report Overview

The India veterinary artificial insemination market size was valued at USD 80.5 million in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7% from 2021 to 2028. The increasing demand for milk and advancement in Artificial Insemination (AI) techniques are the factors propelling the market. Milk production in India has grown by 6.5% from 2018 to 2019 as per the National Dairy Development Board and the country continues to be the largest milk-producing nation. The growth of the dairy industry is driven by the rising population, accelerated economic growth, urbanization, and enhanced purchasing power of the average population. This demand is expected to continue witnessing exponential growth over the forecast period.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, disruption in supply chains due to stringent lockdown norms consequently resulted in a decline of production of dairy products, thus impacting the market growth. However, the market had shown a V-shaped recovery during the 3^rd quarter of 2020 as most of the dairy services were considered under emergency services. For instance, Genus’s revenue for the Asia Pacific region increased by 18% in 2020 from the last year, especially due to the great performance in China and India.

Increased use of high-genetic merit semen to improve the productivity of low-yielding indigenous cattle is boosting revenue. Hence, the Government of India has been promoting the use of High Genetic Merit (HGM) bull semen for artificial insemination. This is expected to lead to the birth of genetically superior calves through upgrading the graded and non-descript bovines. For instance, the NDDB has launched many initiatives and programs in 2019 to improve the genetic makeup of the dairy bovines of the country. The key focus has been on indigenous dairy animals as they are adaptable, more disease resistant, and have low resource dependency.

Product Insights

The normal semen segment held the dominant revenue share of above 75% in 2020. Normal semen is widely used for artificial insemination to improve the reproduction and genetics of farm animals. This practice has led to an increase in the rate of genetic development and production of animals, thereby propelling the market growth. The annual demand for milk is projected to reach around 200 MMT by 2022 according to the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). It is not possible to cater to this huge demand unless the productivity of the bovines increases. To meet this requirement, AI needs to be implemented thoroughly in the country. At present, there are 56 semen stations, among which 49 stations are graded by the Central Monitoring Unit of the Government of India.

Animal Type Insights

Based on animal type, the cattle segment held the largest revenue share of around 45% of the India veterinary artificial insemination market in 2020, owing to increasing demand for dairy products. Artificial insemination for cattle has been standard practice in most developed and developing countries. Moreover, according to the NDDB, India contributed to around 18.6% of the total frozen cattle semen doses in 2019. Increasing milk consumption, the demand from developed countries, and the huge biodiversity of the cattle breeds are the factors anticipated to further provide the Indian cattle market with growth opportunities in near future.

Distribution Channel Insights

The government segment dominated the market with a revenue share of more than 45% in 2020, owing to its increased initiatives and activities. Government regulatory authorities, such as the Department of Animal Husbandry Animal Care Services regulates artificial insemination programs, provided through animal husbandry services. For instance, in May 2020, the government announced an INR 15,000 crore (USD 2.13 billion) animal husbandry infrastructure development project.

The government has also approved an Agriculture Export Policy in 2018 to enhance agricultural economic growth in the country. The new policy is aimed at boosting India's agricultural output to USD 60 billion by 2022 and USD 100 billion with a predictable foreign policy framework in the next few years. Such support from the government is further contributing to the growth of the market.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

The market players are investing in strategies including regional expansion, product launches, acquisitions, and partnerships to gain a competitive advantage in the market. For instance, ABS India reported 133% growth in its sales volume for Sexcel in 2020 which is expected to propel the revenue over the forecast period.
