Sheep Health Monitoring & Wearables Market Size, Share 2031

Report Code : CVMI200520253 | Published Date : May 20, 2025

The sheep health monitoring and wearables market is experiencing significant growth as precision livestock farming technologies gain traction in small ruminant production systems. Wearables and sensor-based tools provide real-time insights into sheep health, activity, reproductive behavior, and environmental stress—enabling farmers to prevent disease outbreaks, reduce mortality, and enhance productivity. In 2024, the global market is valued at USD 620 million and is projected to reach USD 1.48 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 12.9%. This increase is driven by labor shortages, smart farming investments, and a growing focus on animal welfare and traceability.

Key Market Drivers

1. Disease Prevention Through Early Detection: Wearables can identify signs of lameness, parasitic infection, mastitis, and heat stress, allowing for early veterinary intervention.

2. Reproductive Management Support: Devices monitor estrus, mating activity, and lambing alerts, improving breeding program efficiency.

3. Labor and Cost Pressures in Extensive Systems: Automated monitoring decreases the necessity for continuous visual inspections in large, free-range flocks.

4. Integration with Livestock Management Platforms: Wearables are increasingly connected to cloud-based dashboards, facilitating data-driven decision-making at the flock level.

Competitive Landscape

Tech innovators and livestock solution providers are developing integrated sheep wearables with AI, machine learning, and mobile compatibility:

Quantified Ag – Smart ear tags for health and location tracking
Shearwell Data Ltd – UK-based RFID and flock management wearables
Moocall – Expands from calving sensors to ovulation monitoring in sheep
SmartShepherd – EID-based parentage and behavior tracking system from Australia
eShepherd (Agersens) – Virtual fencing and grazing behavior monitoring tools

Emerging Trends

1. AI-Driven Predictive Health Alerts: Algorithms analyze biometric trends to predict illnesses, enabling proactive care.

2. Virtual Fencing and Controlled Grazing: Wearables connected to auditory cues guide sheep movement across rotational pastures.

3. Solar-Powered and Durable Devices: Rugged, waterproof wearables designed for extensive grazing systems are in demand.

4. Farmer-Vet Collaboration Platforms: Health data from wearables shared directly with vets via cloud platforms.

Regulatory Landscape

Wearables fall under non-invasive livestock technology categories but must comply with national standards for RF emissions, animal welfare, and traceability programs. In the EU, many wearables are linked to government-supported EID (Electronic Identification) systems. Data privacy and veterinary validation are increasingly important regulatory concerns globally.
