Which Aspects are Shaping Future Antibiotic Residue Test Kit Demand?

“Increasing Pet Ownership across Regions”

Pet ownership has witnessed an ascending trend around the world in recent years and this is projected to influentially shape shipments of antibiotic residue test kits over the next ten years. Increasing disposable income, a growing number of companion animals, and the rising popularity of exotic pets are other factors that are anticipated to contribute to rising pet ownership in the future. Increasing investments in veterinary care are then projected to uplift antibiotic residue test kit sales going forward.

“Growing Worldwide Meat Consumption”

Meat has been seen as a very good source of protein for a long time and most animal-derived products are popularized as the most protein-rich foods that one can have in their diet. Increasing awareness regarding the benefits of meat consumption and the growing availability of different meat delicacies are projected to primarily boost consumption of all types of meats over the coming years.

Animals are often given vaccines and other medications to save them from diseases and keep them healthy. Some of the residual amounts of these medications stay in the animal-based product and could be harmful if consumed by humans, which is why antibiotic residue test kits are used.

Despite the growing popularity of veganism and increasing consumption of plant-based products, meat consumption has been witnessing an upward trend and is projected to continue to do so over the coming years as well.

• As per the statistics listed on The World Counts website, global meat consumption is estimated to be between 460 million tons to 570 million tons by the end of 2050. Currently, global meat consumption is placed at around 350 million tons.
