Veterinary Medicine Market Trends

• Growing rates of pet ownership, rising chronic diseases, and increasing meat consumption will boost the market growth.

The market development is predicted to be boosted by the rising adoption of pet health insurance to pay for veterinary services in various industrialized nations. Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Canada have thriving pet health insurance markets. There has been a sharp rise in the widespread use of pet health insurance in China. Two significant factors contributing to the acceptance of pet healthcare insurance are the growing public understanding of pet health issues and the rising popularity of pets.

There will be more potential for the industry to expand and market dynamics would be affected by the rise in zoonotic disease cases among farm animals. The livestock industry will account for more than 63% of the market for animal medicines in 2020 because of the rising incidence and cost burden of zoonotic diseases among livestock animals. Additionally, bacterial parasites that feed on agricultural animals flourish, which leads to severe illness and monetary hardship.

In addition, rising demand over the past 50 years has led to a sharp rise in worldwide meat output, supporting the veterinary pharmaceutical business. Around 40–50% of the world's meat output was produced in Asia, with the U.S.U.S.U.S., Brazil, and Argentina being significant producers. Growing discretionary affluence in emerging nations is increasing the rate of meat production but also raising concerns about food-borne illnesses. An Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resources Economics and Sciences survey predicts that by 2050, China will account for almost 40% of the growth in  meat demand. According to the O.E.C.D.'s 2022–2031 agricultural outlook, 129 metric tonnes of pig meat will be consumed ly during the next ten years, making up one-third of all meat consumption. These elements have a big impact on how fast the market is growing. The National Agricultural Statistics Service, U.S.D.A., said in a study released in July 2022 that the overall spending on American farms climbed from USD 366.2 billion in 2020 to USD 392.9 billion in 2021 (up 7.3%). The cost of livestock, poultry, and related costs, which in 2021 amounted to USD 42.4 billion, grew by 10.8% from the previous year.

India's fastest-growing dog population boosts the country's veterinary medicine market. The Veterinary Medicine market is expanding as a result of both rising spending and the number of companion animals. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (F.A.O.), by 2025, the world's per capita meat consumption is expected to reach 35.3 kg. And according to World Counts, 460–570 million tonnes of beef will be consumed ly by 2050. Additionally, the need for dairy products is fueling the expansion of the veterinary medication business. The increased use of meat and dairy products calls for increased livestock safety to stop the transfer of illness from animals to people. Additionally, this raises demand for animal vaccination laws, which helps the veterinary medicine business flourish.
