Swine Lameness Diagnostic Market To Reach $166.7 Million By 2030

Swine Lameness Diagnostic Market Growth & Trends

The global swine lameness diagnostic market size is expected to reach USD 166.74 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.8% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing global demand for pork and pork products is driving the need for healthy livestock, which is, in turn, boosting the demand for effective swine lameness diagnostics. Furthermore, the high prevalence of lameness in the swine population due to various factors such as genetics, nutrition, and housing conditions increases the need for effective diagnostics. The presence of multiple players in the market encourages innovation and the development of new & improved diagnostic products. Collaborations between veterinary research institutions, diagnostic tool manufacturers, and swine producers enhance the development & distribution of advanced diagnostic solutions.

Technological advancements are one of the key factors propelling market growth. For instance, Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) is the specialized application of technology to instantly monitor diseases among animals. Lameness can affect the productivity and long-term health of sows. Lameness accounts for 10% to 20% of on-farm culling in the U.S. and is the third most common cause of culling, according to an article published by Pig Progress in November 2022. Lameness is difficult to diagnose and treat as many medicines do not adequately reach the joints, and the condition becomes severe by the time intervention is initiated. The primary need on the farm is to diagnose lameness in earlier stages when the condition is moderate and sows may still successfully move and be treated. To do this, some farms are turning to precision livestock farming technologies to monitor and assist in recognizing behavior indicating lameness. Force plate systems, accelerometers, and pressure mats are techniques to score lameness automatically.

Moreover, the market offers several opportunities for growth and innovation. Some opportunities in the swine lameness diagnostic market include research and development and government funding and programs. The potential application of artificial intelligence (AI) to assist in diagnosing swine diseases is the biggest opportunity for the market. Researchers across the world are engaging in exploring this vertical to turn it into a business opportunity. For instance, according to an article published by MDPI in 2023, researchers from China are attempting to develop an algorithm that can detect and analyze the posture of pigs using AI & deep machine learning, which can be useful in detecting various conditions such as lameness and fractures, among other musculoskeletal conditions. Moreover, market participants can benefit from supportive government initiatives, grants, and funding programs that work to improve animal health & stop disease outbreaks. Engaging in these initiatives can help advance diagnostic technologies in veterinary medicine.
