MILKING LINER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Milking Liner Market is projected to reach USD 0.16 billion in 2025, steadily progressing to USD 0.21 billion by 2034, with a CAGR of 2.59% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Milking Liner market is expected to be valued at USD 0.05 billion in 2025, Europe at USD 0.06 billion, and China at USD 0.05 billion.

Machines are used to milk dairy animals. For the quick and effective extraction of milk without causing harm toward the public trough or duct and with the lowest possible risk of spreading pathogenic bacteria that could cause mastitis, milking machine functionality and design are essential. Mastitis-producing microorganisms can only access the teat through to the streak canal. Since milk also exits the gland by this pathway, the gland is vulnerable to possible intermammary infection whenever the streaking canal is accessed to remove milk.

A milk liner unit consist of a milk liner seal that is securely positioned in an outermost casing and that jointly defines a throbbing vacuum chamber with the outer shell. A sleeve and a teat-engaging flange that together define a teat-receiving cavity make up the milk liner. A teat is accommodated further into teat receiving cavity through a teat accommodating hole through into the teat engaging flange. A large portion of the advised milking procedure has something to do with mastitis control and prevention, either directly or indirectly. To reduce the possibility of an intermammary infection developing as a consequence of milking, the operational and physical interaction between both the public trough and the machine has been carefully constructed.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Supply and Lockdown Limitation to Impede Market Advancement

Beginning in 2021, the COVID-19 illness spread around the globe, affecting countless people in general, and major governments across the world issued orders for work stoppages and foot restrictions. Most initiatives have been seriously impacted, with the exception of the groups that provide medical products and life support equipment. Milking and poultry farming activity was briefly halted or suspended as a result of the lockout, which had a significant impact on the market's application programming interface. The milking liner market was ultimately significantly impacted by restrictions connected to fewer or no poultry farming, less milking and cattle breeding activities, a more constrained supply chain, a reduced proportion of transportation, and closures.

Milking liner market growth is predicted to rise as a result of growing demand by the population.

LATEST TRENDS 

Impulse Air System Practises to Stimulate Market Development

An innovative invention in milking technology is the impulse air system. The potential adverse consequences of the suction are minimised by adding air at the dairy liner's mouthpiece behind the milk. The air vent facilitates the movement of the milk far from the teats, maintaining their dryness, minimising splashback, and limiting bacterial entry into the teat. Overall, this air vent gives the teat a light massage while lowering the somatic cell count (SCC) and mastitis risk. Ingenious triangle milking liner technology enhances the liner's hold on the teat while the air vent enhances milk flow, boosting milk yield and minimising cross-contamination.

The innovative shell design of an impulse air system is coupled with an interlocking, anti-twist triangle liner. Overall, the cutting-edge impulse air dairy liner offers improved milking efficiency.

• According to the European Dairy Association, the introduction of impulse air systems in dairy liners has resulted in a 20% reduction in somatic cell count (SCC) and a 17% increase in milk yield per cow in pilot installations conducted in 2023.

• Based on data from the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) India, triangle-shaped milking liners improved teat grip efficiency by 24%, helping reduce liner slippage and enhancing milking speed across large herds in high-output farms.

DRIVING FACTORS

Expanding Application Areas of Milking Systems to Aid Market Expansion

 A larger herd enables the cattle ranch to expand its operations. In fact, efficient milking equipment may manage herds more quickly while maintaining milk quality, enabling farmers to milk extra cows than they could using conventional methods. The second benefit is plainly evident and relates to the saved money by minimizing expenses. A large dairy farm that harvests by hand typically needs at least twelve workers to run efficiently. Only a handful will be need with automatic milking equipment.

Decrease in Farm Reliance on Employees to Foster Industry Progress

Milking equipment lessens the farm's reliance on employees while still taking into account the labour component. A skilled worker's inability to work or decision to leave a conventional farm would have a significant impact on milk output and sales. With milking equipment, it would be simple to hire someone to run the equipment and make sure the dairy farm is always operating. Finally, a correct milking schedule will lessen the strain on the herd, resulting in better animal health and a higher-quality dairy harvest.

• According to the USDA 2023 Farm Automation Report, farms using automated milking liners have reduced manual labor requirements by over 40%, improving operational scalability and consistency across 2,000+ dairy operations in the U.S.

• A study from the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture highlights that farms using silicone-based liners experience 29% fewer teat-end injuries, improving cow health and boosting consistent milk output across intensive farms.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Difficulty in Adoption of Automated Equipment to Hinder Market Advancement

However, just like any other firm, opting to use machines has some restrictions. Older cattle have the most obvious drawback. Older cows who are used to manual milking will find it difficult to get adjusted to automated cleaning equipment. Their anxiety levels could rise as a result, lowering the quality of the milk.

The machines will also require an ongoing supply of electricity. This means that the dairy farm won't be able to function correctly in the event that the power supply line is damaged or during blackouts. However, these consequences can be reduced by using backup power supply systems. Finally, though it's not really a drawback because the personnel can be employed for that, milking equipment needs to be cleaned thoroughly. Indeed, contaminated equipment can spread illnesses.

• According to the UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), 46% of small-scale dairy farms reported difficulty integrating liner technology due to high setup costs and limited access to skilled technicians.

• Based on a 2022 report by the Canadian Dairy Commission, rural farms face up to 35% higher downtime during liner equipment failure due to lack of localized servicing centers and dependency on imported parts.
