Global Market Outlook - The global pig farming market is expected to grow steadily from $1.5 trillion in 2025 to $1.6 trillion by 2030, with China maintaining a significant share [15]. - Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam, presents substantial growth potential due to its high demand for pork and low industry concentration [15][17].
