Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Global Animal Health Market


The global Animal Health market size is projected to reach US$ 69.71 billion by 2026, from US$ 49.99 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 5.7% during 2021-2026.The market is largely driven by a significant rise in the zoonotic and food-borne diseases globally. This unprecedented disease prevalence has encouraged companies to produce advanced vaccines and pharmaceuticals. The high demand has also resulted in subsequent rise in the number of companies making consistent efforts to control risks of pathogen contamination and food-borne diseases, which is contributing to market growth.

In addition, rising government initiatives to promote veterinary products is presumed to drive the overall market for animal health. According to the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), the global population is approximately 7.3 billion and is anticipated to reach around 9.7 billion by 2050. Out of this 795 million people are undernourished, as per the estimations of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).

The aforementioned statistics exemplify the urgent requirement to expand food supply through large-scale adoption of livestock. The heightened production of animal-based food products will lead to significant price reduction, facilitating easy access to food at affordable prices. The market is driven by technological advancements in veterinary healthcare, which is anticipated to serve future growth opportunities.

These advancements include advent of efficient information management systems, animal owner mobile technology, and vaccine banks. High focus on innovation in veterinary health has given rise to certain measures that are fueling the market growth prospects. For instance, the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), which is a public-private partnership to support collaborative research to boost innovation in veterinary pharmaceuticals in Europe.
