Livestock Insurance Market Size To Reach $17.22 Billion By 2033

Livestock Insurance Market Growth & Trends

The global livestock insurance market size is estimated to reach USD 17.22 billion by 2033, registering to grow at a CAGR of 8.09% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is driven by increasing uptake of livestock insurance, supportive initiatives by the public and private sectors, demand for animal protein, and technological advancements.

In terms of country, India and Pakistan, are estimated to contribute to more than 30% of global milk production by 2029. This is expected to drive the adoption of livestock insurance to mitigate production risks.

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in global supply chains, including those related to livestock products. Disruptions in transportation, processing, and distribution have affected the livestock industry, leading to challenges in moving and selling livestock products. Livestock insurance can cover losses caused by supply chain disruptions, such as delays, spoilage, or damage during transportation thus propelling its demand and adoption. The pandemic also highlighted the need to reassess and adapt risk management strategies in the livestock industry. Insurers and farmers have become more cognizant of emerging risks, including the potential for zoonotic disease transmission and the importance of biosecurity measures. Such factos are expected to drive the market going forward.

Advances in technology, such as satellite imagery, remote sensing, and data analytics, have improved risk assessment and underwriting processes in the livestock insurance sector. These technologies enable insurers to better evaluate risks, provide accurate pricing, and enhance overall efficiency in managing livestock insurance policies. The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital technologies and remote services in the insurance industry. Insurers have increasingly leveraged online platforms and digital tools for underwriting, claims processing, and customer interactions. This digital transformation has enhanced the efficiency and accessibility of livestock insurance services, enabling farmers to obtain coverage and manage their policies remotely thus contributing to the market growth.
