Genetic advancements have enabled breeders to produce pigs with better carcass quality, faster weight gain, and resistance to common swine diseases, making this segment a vital contributor to the market's growth.

Canine
Canine genetics contribute around 18% of the global market, largely driven by growing investments in companion animal breeding. Demand is rising for dogs with specific traits, including behavioral temperament, physical appearance, and disease-free lineages. The segment is also expanding with the rise of pet adoption, veterinary diagnostics, and breed preservation programs.

Others
The “Others” segment, comprising cattle, equine, goats, and sheep, accounts for about 14% of the market. These species are essential in various agricultural, dairy, and breeding programs. Increasing focus on genomic selection, milk yield optimization, and disease resistance in ruminants is fueling steady growth in this diverse category.

Animal Genetics Market , Segmentation by Testing Services

The Animal Genetics Market has been segmented by Testing Services into DNA Typing, Genetic Trait Tests and Others.

DNA Typing
DNA typing holds the largest share of the animal genetics testing services market, accounting for approximately 52%. It is widely used for breed identification, parentage verification, and lineage tracking in livestock and companion animals. The increasing focus on breeding accuracy, genetic diversity conservation, and disease resistance selection is driving demand for DNA-based identification.

Genetic Trait Tests
Genetic trait tests contribute around 35% of the market. These tests help detect inherited traits such as milk yield, growth rate, feed efficiency, and disease susceptibility. The ability to optimize breeding programs and improve herd performance through marker-assisted selection is making this segment increasingly important in animal agriculture.

Others
The “Others” category accounts for roughly 13% and includes emerging services such as epigenetic screening, genomic value prediction, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications. These advanced tools are gaining traction in research and high-value breeding programs, offering deeper insights into animal health, productivity, and genetic potential.

Animal Genetics Market , Segmentation by Technology

The Animal Genetics Market has been segmented by Technology into PCR, NGS, rDNA, and Microarray Technology.

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)
PCR dominates the animal genetics technology segment, accounting for nearly 42% of the global market. This technique is widely used for DNA amplification, pathogen detection, and genetic marker analysis in both livestock and companion animals. Its cost-effectiveness, high sensitivity, and broad application in routine diagnostics make it a cornerstone of genetic testing protocols.

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing)
NGS contributes around 30% of the market and is rapidly gaining popularity due to its high-throughput capability and ability to provide comprehensive genomic insights. It is widely used in whole-genome sequencing, variant detection, and advanced breeding strategies. As costs decline, NGS is becoming more accessible for commercial and research-based genetic programs.

rDNA (Recombinant DNA Technology)
Recombinant DNA technology holds an estimated 16% share and plays a crucial role in genetic engineering, vaccine development, and trait modification. It is particularly relevant in producing animals with enhanced productivity, disease resistance, and specific performance traits, especially in cattle, poultry, and aquaculture.

Microarray Technology
Microarray technology accounts for about 12% of the market. It enables the simultaneous analysis of thousands of genetic markers, supporting detailed assessments of gene expression, polymorphisms, and trait associations. Though more common in research, its role is expanding in genomic selection and breeding value estimation.

Animal Genetics Market , Segmentation by End User

The Animal Genetics Market has been segmented by End User into Animal Farms and Veterinary Hospitals & Clinics.

Animal Farms
Animal farms constitute the largest share of the animal genetics market, accounting for approximately 67%. These operations depend heavily on genetically superior livestock for increased meat, milk, and egg production. The rising demand for genetic selection services, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer technologies is fueling the adoption of advanced genetics on commercial farms, particularly in poultry, porcine, and dairy sectors.

Veterinary Hospitals & Clinics
Veterinary hospitals and clinics represent about 33% of the global market. This segment is primarily driven by the growing focus on companion animal healthcare, disease diagnostics, and breed management. Increasing investments in pet wellness, along with rising awareness of genetic screening, is promoting the use of genomic tools in veterinary practices for preventive care and hereditary disease management.

Drivers, Restraints and Opportunities Analysis

Drivers:

• Increasing Demand for Animal Protein
• Technological Advancements in Genetic Engineering
• Rising Prevalence of Animal Diseases
• Focus on Sustainable Agriculture

• Expanding Livestock Farming Operations - The steady expansion of livestock farming operations is a key driver propelling the growth of the animal genetics market. As global demand for animal-based food products rises, producers are scaling up operations to improve productivity, disease resistance, and overall herd quality. This growth is generating increased interest in genetic tools and technologies that enable selective breeding for high-performance traits such as increased milk yield, faster growth rates, improved fertility, and superior meat quality. Genetic optimization helps producers achieve better returns while maintaining consistency and efficiency in large-scale farming environments.

  In both developed and emerging economies, the intensification of livestock farming is being supported by advancements in genomic selection, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer. These technologies allow for more precise breeding decisions and the acceleration of genetic gains across animal populations. As farms become more sophisticated and commercialized, the demand for genetically superior livestock continues to grow, strengthening the role of animal genetics as a core component of modern agricultural practices. This trend is expected to further elevate market growth, particularly in regions investing in food security and agricultural sustainability.
