Animal Health Market Overview:


The animal health market size was valued USD 35.9 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 75.02 Billion by 2030 at 7.6% CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2030. Animal health care is primarily concerned with the wellness of pets and farm animals. Like a human disease, animals are capable of capturing parasites and other diseases, which require diagnosis, prevention, and control of the disease. The increasing incidence of disease in livestock and poultry has provided lucrative growth opportunities for pharmaceutical companies to work on new medications and drugs. 


The vaccinations segment is holding the highest market rate in the animal health market. Since, vaccines tend to improve the immune system of the pet animals such as dogs, cats, and horses. However, there is no proof in the industry that any vaccine in the market is capable of providing a 100% immune system to the pet. On the other hand, some challenges such as non-potency of vaccinations, poor health condition of the pet during vaccination are some of the major challenges faced in the market. Proper diagnosis is required for protecting the animals, based on their breeds, anatomy, and immune system. Hence the market requires an increase in the fund support in the R&D development.Veterinary clinics can use MWI Pet, a new technology product from MWI Animal Health U.K., a division of the multinational healthcare corporation AmerisourceBergen, to improve client interaction while lessening administrative demands on staff. MWI Pet makes it easy for businesses and pet owners to communicate digitally.

Owners of pets can use any connected device to access the MWI Pet portal to view and schedule available consultations with their veterinarian.


COVID 19 Analysis:


The widespread pandemic has affected the animal health market growth both positively and negatively. The widespread of COVID infection in several countries have propelled the governments to impose strict regulation regarding commute to other places. Hence the restrictions in the movement have limited the accessibility to veterinary medicine and health care centers. Several governments were focused on the ongoing crisis and the emergency of saving human lives, the veterinary consultations and checkups were postponed as they were not considered as an emergency. 


On the other hand, the COVID infection had been spread to the animals also. Several cases were reported for COVID positive. The COVID testing kits for animals were increasingly gaining popularity during the second wave of COVID which propelled market players to take appropriate actions to help the veterinarians. Studies were conducted and samples of several pets from different households were collected and evaluated to understand the causes and symptoms of COVID in animals. Such factors have propelled the animal health market even during the pandemic.


Market Dynamics:


Drivers:


Increasing incidences of Zoonotic disease and increasing development of e-commerce platforms have promoted virtual shops and health care services for animals. Several non-profit organizations have come forward in recent times in educating the public about care to be given to animals. This factor has increased the overall growth of the animal health market in recent times.


The increasing popularity of online stores, easy availability, and discounted products are the major reasons for the increasing demand for pet-related stuff. The key market players and emerging market players in recent times are willing to increase their investment for the R&D development in the market. The first honeybee vaccine in the world is being developed by the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of Georgia in collaboration with Dalan Animal Health. The American Foulbrood (AFB) disease, formerly one of the most destructive pest illnesses of the honeybee breed, will be prevented by this vaccination. The viability of the entire colony is clearly at stake from the disease known as AFB. There is no cure for it once it has infected a colony. Beekeepers in Georgia and numerous other states are required to burn AFB-infected hives.

In recent times, the overall costs spent to pamper pets have significantly increased. The necessity of emotional support and growing concern towards pets and animals has increased due to social media and other factors.


Restraints:


The increasing trend of veganism and shifts towards vegetarianism are considered as major restraining factors for the animal health market growth. Increasing health concerns related to improper diet and high-fat diet have propelled a huge population to adopt a vegetarian diet across the globe. Such factors are considered to be the primary growth restricting factor for the market.


The storage and handling of vaccinations for the animals require standards and difficult measures; the inappropriate transportation of the vaccines might make them ineffective and might lead to vaccination failure. The temperature control throughout the transportation up until the end-user is essential. The non-potency of the vaccination can’t be identified by the buyers. Such factors are impacting the growth of the Animal health market adversely.


Challenges:


The inappropriate usage of parasites and antibodies in animals might create resistance to the medication. Lack of awareness in taking care of the cattle and pets is the major reason for the improper dosage of parasiticides and antibodies. 


Lack of data available concerning the diseases of livestock or pet animals and lack of researches concerning the diseases that animals could acquire is considered as the major challenge in the Animal health market. On the other hand, lack of funding in the market when compared to human diseases has also limited the overall growth of the animal health market.

These active ingredients are efficient in controlling the parasites and other veterinary parasites.

Value chain analysis:


The food-producing animals are expected to hold the largest animal health market share in the forecast period, owing to the increasing consumption of dairy products and red meats. India is considered the leading producer and consumer of milk products, and meat. Over 3.2 million metric tons of meat were consumed in the year 2020. Such factors are increasing the overall market growth globally. On the other hand, countries such as America, Europe are concerned about consuming fresh meat, the advent of temperature tags and other novel technologies ensure that their meat produce is fresh and healthy.


The health concerns and awareness are increasing in the developed countries, which propel them to acquire necessary information about the food they consume. On the other hand, the increasing demand for pet ownership in the countries such as China, India, and other Asia-pacific countries has stimulated the Animal health market growth. Increasing disposable incomes and favorable economic conditions in countries like China, and other developed countries, have prepared a huge population in spending on their pets and other health care services related to their pets.

The government initiatives include educational sessions, which educate the cattle owners about the challenges in the agricultural industry, scientific investigations to clear the potential gaps in animal welfare, an inspection of dairy farms, and checking if they are complying with the regulations concerning the cleanliness, water facility, suitable animal housing and other factors. Such initiatives have increased the overall growth of the animal health market in the region.
