Top Automated Feeding Systems Companies

Global Automated Feeding Systems Market size was valued at USD 6.75 Billion in 2024 and is poised to grow from USD 7.32 Billion in 2025 to USD 13.96 Billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecast period (2026–2033).

The automated feeding systems market is increasingly consolidated, with key players focusing on AI integration, modular scalability, and regional partnerships. Lely reported in its 2023 annual report a 12% rise in revenue driven by its Vector robotic feeding system, now equipped with machine learning for feed efficiency optimization. DeLaval, in its 2023 Investor Presentation, announced a €35 million investment in upgrading smart feeding R&D centers in Sweden. Meanwhile, Trioliet expanded its market share in Latin America through a 2022 strategic alliance with local dairy cooperatives, enabling faster deployment and after-sales support. This reflects a trend toward localized customization and technology-driven differentiation. 'Big Dutchman AG (Germany) ', 'Lely Holding S.à r.l. (Netherlands) ', 'JYF Machinery Co., Ltd.

The growing global consumption of animal-derived food products is accelerating the adoption of automated feeding systems. According to the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization, 2024), global meat consumption is projected to reach 374 million tonnes by 2030, up from 337 million tonnes in 2020, driven by population growth and rising incomes in developing economies. This surge has prompted farms to optimize feeding efficiency to maintain productivity. In 2023, Big Dutchman introduced its “DryExactpro” automated feeding system across large pig farms in China, enabling precise feed distribution and reducing feed waste by up to 15%—a crucial advantage given the rising feed costs reported by USDA (2023).

Integration of IoT and AI in Feeding Operations: Automated feeding systems are increasingly embedded with IoT sensors and AI algorithms that monitor animal behavior, adjust rations, and predict health issues. In 2023, Lely International introduced its Horizon platform, using AI to optimize feeding schedules and reduce resource use, achieving 7% feed cost savings for pilot users.

Europe leads the global automated feeding systems market, driven by stringent animal welfare regulations, advanced technological adoption, and strong governmental support for sustainable agriculture. In 2023, Europe accounted for a significant share of the global market, reflecting its commitment to modernizing livestock farming practices. The region's emphasis on precision farming and environmental sustainability has propelled the adoption of automated feeding solutions. Key players like DeLaval, GEA Group, and Lely have been instrumental in introducing innovative systems that enhance feed efficiency and animal health. Moreover, the European Union's policies promoting sustainable agriculture and funding for technological advancements have further bolstered market growth.
