Animal Health Market Size To Reach $112.33 Billion By 2030

Animal Health Market Growth & Trends

The global animal health market size is expected to reach USD 112.33 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.46% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is driven by increased investments in animal health, product approvals, diagnostic rates, initiatives by key companies, and increased animal health expenditure. The market has also remained largely resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic. In November 2023, MSD Animal Health received European Commission approval for BOVILIS CRYPTIUM- a vaccine to protect cattle against Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum) infection. This enabled the company to commercialize the product across all European Union countries.

The threat of zoonotic infections spreading through ticks, and fleas or through contact with animals is high. The WHO is involved in various cross-sectoral activities for the purpose of addressing health threats at the human-animal-ecosystem interface. Food-borne zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, and emerging zoonoses are some of the threats in the animal health market. Also, MediLabSecure, a laboratory network project, was initiated with an aim of identifying emerging viruses and pathogens in 19 countries in the Mediterranean region. The implementation of a wide range of technologies for the detection and monitoring of various animal diseases is one of the major growth contributing factors.

Key market participants employ various strategies, such as expanding their product portfolio, to gain a competitive advantage. For instance, in January 2021, Zoetis launched the Poulvac Procerta HVT-IBD vaccine for poultry to protect against Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD). This added to Zoetis’ product portfolio of recombinant vector vaccines. The market especially for the companion animal segment was positively impacted during late 2020 and 2021, due to increased pet adoption rates, pet humanization trends, and improved overall diagnostics business sales with increased awareness among pet parents. During 2022 and 2023 however, macroeconomic uncertainties, such as global recession and inflation, notably impacted market revenues for a short period.
