The livestock management systems have resulted in reduced energy consumption and increased efficiency in the operations. These innovative management systems have acquired affinity among the producers and farmers for being more convenient and cost-effective, and this is driving the market for livestock monitoring and management systems. The governments of different countries have realized the importance of adopting technology in the traditional methods of managing livestock and farms, and are running various initiatives to promote precision livestock farming and management techniques. This is expected to further push the market towards growth, along with the rising market penetration of automated systems.

The global livestock monitoring & management market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.8% from 2016 to 2021. Rising concerns for food safety and the need for sustainable development in harmony with the environment, has compelled the governments to invest extensively in this market, along with favorable initiatives and trade policies. Certain challenges such as lack of technical knowledge, substantial capital investment, and inhibitions regarding the system among the farmers, especially in the developing nations are restraining the growth of the market.

The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the agricultural sector has certainly revolutionized the methods of farm management, helping the enhancement in the productivity level, by minimizing manual labor and providing an efficient platform for proper data management. With the inclusion of cloud-based storage, the bandwidth for saving an immense amount of data has increased, along with the added facility of sharing resources and data with the computers and other devices on demand. The consolidation of these efficient technologies has enabled the farmers to monitor their farms round the clock, with a reduced risk of anomaly.
