Animal Healthcare Market Outlook

The Animal Healthcare Market size is projected to be valued at USD 40.9 billion in 2023 and is expected to rise to USD 62.3 billion by 2033. The sales of animal healthcare are expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period. Various factors propelling the demand for animal healthcare are:

Animal health monitoring and disease outbreak prevention are critical to the economy and the safety of the country's food supply. Healthy livestock production contributes to a secure food supply and stable consumer prices.

The emphasis on animal health ensures that healthcare researchers and practitioners in both fields collaborate to prevent disease outbreaks across species and address the underlying cause of their spread.

This has resulted in the successful management of deadly diseases such as avian flu and is now being used to eradicate others in the future.

Recent years have seen significant mergers and acquisitions between major companies' veterinary-related divisions, as well as rising demands for food and feed and the production of animals bred for meat and dairy products.

A vast proportion of investing in pet insurance in developed markets is driving growth in the market under consideration. However, that investment is being used to fund animal health innovations for the world's 24 billion chickens, 1 billion cattle and sheep, 750 million pigs and goats, 500 million dogs, and 400 million cats.

At the moment, the animal healthcare market is benefiting greatly from initiatives spearheaded by governments and animal welfare organizations from around the world.

Technological advancements in animal healthcare are also driving the global market, which is expected to provide future growth opportunities.

Among these breakthroughs is the creation of efficient information management systems, mobile technologies for animal owners, and vaccine banks. The increased emphasis on animal health innovation has resulted in a number of measures that are improving market growth prospects.

Market Dynamics

Growing Demand for Animal Products and Increasing Incidence of Animal Diseases Spurring Market Growth

The primary factors fueling demand in the animal healthcare market are the increasing consumption of meat and milk globally, the rising prevalence of foodborne and zoonotic diseases, the growing trend of pet adoption across the world, and the exponential growth of the veterinary healthcare market.

Over the last few decades, spending on animals has increased significantly on account of rising pet adoption rates, growing awareness about maintaining the proper health of animals, and surging demand for animal pharmaceuticals for enhancing the immunity system of animals. Driven by this, sales of animal healthcare products like pharmaceuticals, animal feeds, and vaccines are projected to rise at a significant pace during the forecast period.

On the other hand, factors hampering the growth of the animal healthcare market are increasing restrictions imposed by regulatory authorities on the usage of antibiotics, lack of awareness across various emerging regions, and rising cost of animal testing.

Past vs Future Market Performance

Over the last few years, veterinary healthcare has rapidly evolved as technology in biotech, genomics, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data has grown exponentially, bringing competition among large animal healthcare companies and collaborations with technologically advanced start-ups.

In addition, significant mergers and acquisitions have occurred in the industry in recent years, such as that between Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health and Merial. As a result, the veterinary healthcare market has become extremely competitive.

Vaccines have become increasingly important in various parts of the world. Across major consumer spending stores worldwide, a large number of families have chosen pet insurance. In several cases involving food-producing animals, the industry and governments collaborate to develop vaccines against major outbreaks of animal diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease. The lack of vaccines against several livestock vector-borne pathogens, as well as strict regulatory approval processes for gaining market authorization, are two major market challenges. Vaccine bank funding has grown in importance over time. Vaccines' necessity and development are expected to drive the growth of the veterinary healthcare market over the forecast period.

Considering this, FMI expects global animal healthcare to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% through 2033.

The adoption of digital technology in livestock and pet health is increasing at an alarming rate. Smart tags, wearables, and sound detection tools, as well as predictive software and monitoring technology, enable precision care for thousands of animals.

Data from countless animals are being compiled by digital diagnostics in order to discover new, subtle disease warning signs. Better traceability, sustainability, productivity, and disease management on the farm are all advantages, as is improved pet wellness.
