2025 In-Ovo Sexing Market Penetration and Forecast Report
We just released our latest market penetration and forecast report for in-ovo sexing technology.
This original research conducted by Innovate Animal Ag shows that at the end of Q1 2025:
28% of the EU’s 393 million hen flock was sexed with in-ovo technology—an 8-point increase in one year.
Since 2022, 175 million male embryos have been removed before hatching.
EU adoption has compounded at 147% over the last four years, outpacing the early scale-up curves of LED lighting, iPhones, color TV, internet, AC, and home electricity.
In-ovo sexing is just beginning its rollout in the US, and currently represents less than 1% of the US’ 310 million head commercial layer flock. In Norway, in-ovo sexing has hit a 20-25% penetration.
The global penetration of in-ovo sexing is expected to continue its sharp growth in the next few years, led by rapid expansion in the US, continued strength in Europe, and penetration into greenfield markets like Australia, Canada, UK, and Brazil.
