MILKING HOSE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Milking Hose Market is poised for significant growth USD 0.28 billion in 2025, and projected to reach USD 0.38 billion by 2034, with a CAGR of 3.94% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Milking Hose market is projected at USD 0.09 billion in 2025, the Europe market at USD 0.07 billion, and the China market at USD 0.08 billion.

North America is dominating the milking hose market share in 2025.

Milking hose, also known as milk tube is a part of a modern farm milking machinery which is used to harvest milk from animals. They are specifically designed to transport milk and dairy products along with animal fats and vegetable oils. Such machines work in a way that prevents hand milking or calf suckling. A vacuum is placed inside the soft liner to massage the milk by creating pressure across teat canal. It is made up from different materials such as nitrile rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer, and polyvinyl chloride.

The growing demand for such tube is due to increasing consumption of dairy products and rising popularity for technologically advanced products in the dairy industry. Population have been growing inclination towards dairy products and increasing consumption for milk. The use of such equipment is also due to increasing automation and lack of skilled workers and advanced milking machinery has boosted the demand globally. They are also used to transport milk and dairy products from one place to another.   

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Halt on Dairy Industry to Hinder Market Development

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are already being felt on a global level, the global milking hose market is noticeably influenced. In 2020, COVID-19 has had a negative impact on many markets. Several countries went into lockdown. With the sudden pandemic, all kinds of businesses observed disruptions. With many restrictions in the pandemic, different types of markets were negatively impacted. The demand for such equipment derives from dairy industry and the halt on the manufacturing and production facilities were halted that affected the demand. New and existing production of such tubes were also halted that created the supply gap in dairy industry. The transport of the milk and dairy products were also halted due less contact with animals to spread of pandemic amongst the animals. 

LATEST TRENDS

Adoption of Automation to Propel Market Development

Growing trend for the adoption of automation is projected to increase the growth of the global market. Advancement of technology leading to automation is anticipated to stimulate the demand for the market. Recent business strategies by leading manufacturers of the market have adopted latest technologies to reduce the dependency on manual labor forces. There has been trend for automated machinery in the modern dairy equipment that reduced the dependency on labor forces. Targeting innovative products and technologies is expected to create opportunities for the market.  Automation technology is expected to pose opportunity for the market growth and development.     

• According to the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), automated milking systems adoption in India increased by 18.3% between 2021 and 2023. This shift toward automated milking parlors is driving demand for high-performance milking hoses that can withstand continuous use and pressure variation during milking operations.

• Based on data from the European Dairy Association (EDA), the use of silicone hoses in large dairy operations rose by 21.7% in 2022 due to their superior resistance to milk fats, cleaning chemicals, and high-temperature sterilization cycles. This trend is especially prevalent in EU countries complying with stringent food-grade material standards.

DRIVING FACTORS

Demand from the Product Among Dairy Farms to Increase Market Growth

The global milking hose market growth is estimated to rise due to rising demand from the dairy farms. Increasing demand for milking hoses in dairy parlors and dairy farms to cater the rising demand for milk and dairy products is expected to augment demand for the market. They maximize the flow rates and yields in milking process while minimizing the risk of bacterial infection and contamination of the milk. They are made to comply with standards to ensure milk quality, proper sanitization, and prevents chemical contamination. Ever-increasing demand for dairy and dairy related products is anticipated to increase the demand for the product.   

• According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global milk production reached 930 million metric tons in 2023, with consumption rising steadily by 1.6% year-on-year. This has directly increased the demand for efficient milking hoses to support high-yield dairy operations.

• USDA data from 2023 shows that the average herd size in commercial farms grew by 22% over five years. Larger herds necessitate high-throughput, durable milking hose systems to maintain hygiene and efficiency, contributing to market growth.

Increase in the Size of Cattle Herds to Enlarge Demand 

The popularity of such equipment components also derives from increasing sizes of dairy farms. There has been an increase in demand for milk and milk products which has led to increase in the size of dairy farms. This has also led to an increase in size of the herds and milking systems and tools. Systems and tools that can extract milk from the cattle in large quantities at the same time. This is anticipated to augment the demand for the equipment and the components related to the equipment. 

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Costs to Hamper Market Growth

There are a number of factors that can push the growth of the market. Restraining factors such as high maintenance costs and prices and lack of standardization of the equipment. There can be difficulties in integration of the machines. The parts of related to such equipment are costly and requires high costs for maintenance. Such a factors are expected to reduce the demand for the product in the market.

• According to the International Rubber Study Group (IRSG), the average cost of nitrile rubber and silicone hoses increased by 16.9% in 2023 due to raw material shortages and global supply chain disruptions, limiting access for small and mid-scale farmers.

• As per the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), 33.5% of dairy units reported premature wear and bacterial residue buildup in hoses due to inadequate cleaning infrastructure, highlighting the need for better material and design standards to mitigate contamination risks.
