Animal Healthcare Market |
The rising prevalence of zoonotic
diseases, as well as the growing penetration of e-commerce platforms promoting
online pharmacies, are expected to drive Animal
Healthcare Market growth. Various developed countries around the world are
acting as the focal point for the growth of high adoption of online pharmacies
due to numerous benefits such as convenience and discounted prices for ordered
medications. Investing in research and development (R&D) activities to
improve product offerings and acceptance of advanced technologies by key
players in order to transform the animal healthcare sector will result in
market expansion.
Over the forecast period, rising
consumption of meat, milk, and other animal byproducts is expected to drive
growth in the global Animal Healthcare
Market. For example, the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) estimated November 2019 milk production in the United States at 17.440
billion pounds, up 0.5 percent from November 2018. Moreover, increasing
prevalence of foodborne and zoonotic diseases is also expected to propel growth
of the market. Salmonella infection (salmonellosis), for example, causes
approximately 1.2 million illnesses and 450 deaths in the United States each
year, according to a May 2019 report from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), and in 2018, there were 18 reported outbreaks, 15 of which
were linked to food.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted
the entire healthcare sector, including Animal
Healthcare Market. Initially, there was a high risk of animals
becoming infected as a result of close contact with humans. Several cases of
COVID-19 virus infection in companion animals, livestock animals, and animals
kept in zoological facilities have been reported. Various market players
launched their products to assist veterinarians in response to the need and
demand for COVID-19 testing kits for animals. Furthermore, the spread of the
virus has had a significant impact on animal consultation and treatment due to
travel restrictions and, in many cases, the closure of veterinary hospitals.
To avoid such scenarios in the
United Kingdom, the British Veterinary Association (BVA) issued guidelines
encouraging practitioners to use telemedicine whenever possible, which resulted
in positive outcomes in the midst of a crisis. Following the World Veterinary
Association (WVA) and several other local veterinary associations' guidelines,
various countries have classified veterinary services as 'essential.' This
aided in limiting the spread of viruses in animals by allowing for faster
consultation and treatment in hospitals at the appropriate time. Furthermore,
the outbreak resulted in supportive government policies for continued research
and approval of animal drugs in the face of pandemics.
