Monoclonal Antibodies In Veterinary Health Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Application (Dermatology, Pain), By Animal Type, By End-user, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Report Overview

The global monoclonal antibodies in veterinary health market size was estimated at USD 700 million in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.1% from 2023 to 2030. The increasing prevalence of atopic dermatitis coupled with the growing pet adoption rate is one of the major factors boosting the market growth. Furthermore, rising research & development expenditure by market players for the development of cancer therapeutics is also likely to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. Despite the prolonged lockdowns and supply chain disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, market players did not report any decline in their revenues. For instance, Zoetis reported an increase of 22% in its dermatology segment revenue from 2019 to 2020 and an increase of 25% from 2020 to 2021.

In contrast, there was an increase in pet adoption. Around a 50% rise in pet adoption was reported in the U.S. during the first quarter of the pandemic. This led to significant growth in the total number of pet households along with the expenditures on them, which included medical expenditures.

According to a 2023-24 report published by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), about 86.9 million families, i.e., 66% of households in the U.S., owned a pet. As NAPHIA’s 2023 report highlights, the total number of pets insured in the U.S. in 2022 was 4.8 million, a 22% increase since 2021. An increase in the number of pet adoption rates has simultaneously increased the health concerns among pet owners, which is resulting in rising health expenditure on pets. This increasing pet expenditure leads to rising demand for more effective therapeutics, which is anticipated to fuel market growth.

The increasing prevalence of canine atopic dermatitis is also likely to act as a driving factor in market growth. Canine atopic dermatitis is a hereditary clinical syndrome in domestic dogs. Furthermore, it is also the most common cause of itchy allergic skin disease in dogs. According to data published by Frontiers Media S.A. in October 2020, the disease is estimated to affect around 10-15% of the canine population. The publication also stated that this number is likely to increase with time. Market players such as Zoetis have products such as Cytopoint, which was the first-ever monoclonal antibody treatment for allergic and atopic dermatitis.

The increasing incidences of cancer, especially in canines, are expected to impact market growth positively. As per a study published by the Animal Cancer Foundation, 32 million cats and 65 million dogs suffer from tumors in the U.S. Dogs are more likely to suffer from conditions like malignant neoplasia and lymphoma, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. Moreover, the market is supported by various health initiatives by the government and private organizations, especially focusing on cancer treatment.
