Middle East And Africa Animal Genetics Market Analysis

The Middle East And Africa Animal Genetics Market size is estimated at USD 309.83 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 386.29 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.51% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The major factors driving the market growth include an high prevalence of avian influenza outbreaks, increasing consumer demand for animal-derived protein, and increased adoption of advanced genetic technologies for large-scale production and quality breeds.

The high prevalence of avian influenza outbreaks in South Africa is expected to boost the demand for animal genetics, thereby boosting the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in May 2023, the Western Cape Veterinary Services warned poultry farmers that avian influenza had been detected in two commercial layer farms in the Paardeberg area (in the Drakenstein and Swartland Local Municipalities), and approximately 120,000 birds were affected by the disease. Similarly, according to the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), in June 2023, in mid-June, avian influenza outbreaks occurred among more than 215,000 poultry in Gauteng and then in a flock of 180,000 birds in Mpumalanga. Therefore, the rising occurrences of avian influenza outbreaks will likely encourage poultry farmers in the MEA region to seek disease-resistant poultry genetics testing, thereby driving the market growth.

The rising adoption of various genetic improvement strategies in developing countries like Egypt is projected to drive the growth of the animal genetics market in the region during the forecast period. For instance, according to the article published by the Journal of Agriculture Science in January 2023, researchers developed a strategy for marker-assisted selection for growth in local chickens in developing countries, including Egypt. The low-cost genetic improvement strategy for local chickens in the MEA region can boost poultry productivity, food security, and economic growth, driving growth in the animal genetics market due to increased demand for genetic materials and breeding services.

Moreover, expansion initiatives by market players can enhance the availability of genetics products in the MEA region, which can make high-quality genetics more accessible to local farmers and breeders, further driving the adoption of genetics for poultry improvement. For instance, Additionally, in March 2022, Elanco Animal Health Incorporated introduced the expansion of its shared value footprint across Sub-Saharan Africa, delivering on its 2030 pledge to create sustainable development solutions for those who depend on livestock for their livelihoods.

Therefore, factors such as the increasing number of avian influenza outbreaks, rising government initiatives towards vaccination, and rising number of agreements for the development of vaccine manufacturing plants in the region are projected to enhance the Middle East and African animal genetics market growth during the forecast period. However, the shortage of skilled professionals in veterinary research may restrain the market growth during the forecast period.
