Prominent Players - Animal Healthcare Industry

Over the projected period, rising demand for meat, milk, and other byproducts of animals is anticipated to boost market expansion for animal healthcare. For instance, the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) predicted that U.S. milk output in November 2019 would be 17.440 billion pounds, which is 0.5 percent more than in November 2018. Additionally, rising rates of zoonotic and foodborne infections are anticipated to fuel market expansion. For instance, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated in May 2019 that salmonella infection (salmonellosis) causes roughly 1.2 million illnesses and 450 fatalities each year in the U.S., and that in 2018, there were 18 outbreaks identified, 15 of which were linked to food. Over the projection period, it is anticipated that a rise in the number of pets and companion animals will spur market expansion. In the United States, rising veterinarian costs per animal are anticipated to support market expansion. Due to rising milk production, Asia Pacific is predicted to have significant market expansion.

Coherent Market Insights estimates that the market for Animal Healthcare exceeded USD 150.6 billion in 2022, and between 2023 and 2032, it is anticipated to grow at a 4.7% CAGR.
