Demand Analysis of Animal Vaccines from 2015 to 2021 Vs Market Projections for 2022 to 2032

As per Fact.MR - a market research and competitive intelligence provider- from 2015 to 2021, global sales of veterinary/animal vaccines flourished at a CAGR of 8.6%. By the end of the said historical period, the market reached a value of US$ 11 Billion. In the recent past, there have been numerous instances of outbreaks of various zoonotic diseases, both among animal as well as their transmission to humans. Hence, emphasis on animal vaccines has acquired major importance.

The current COVID-19 pandemic is also purported to be an end-product of zoonotic viral transmission. Given the fact that the novel coronavirus originated from bats, veterinarians are emphasizing on inoculating animal populations against the virus as well. This has significantly widened growth prospects for the industry during this crisis. Moreover, a recent outbreak of COVID in mink farms across Europe has also highlighted the need for introducing animal vaccines.

Manufacturers of animal vaccines are focusing on creating awareness regarding the importance of animal vaccination. As the food industry heavily relies on animals for milk and meat, the demand for vaccination is expected to grow. The animal/veterinary vaccines market is purported to grow 2.4x between 2022 and 2032.

What is driving the Global Market for Animal Vaccines?

“Increasing Food Security Demand and Consequent Rise in Animal Husbandry boosting prospects”

Increasing outbreaks of cattle disease and growing livestock population are the main reasons for the wide acceptance of animal vaccination globally. As animals serve as a vital source of meat, milk, protein, food, and other commercial products such as wool and leather, keeping a track of them has become essential. Most vaccines comprise of rabies, equine influenza virus and foot and mouth diseases vaccines. These vaccines help in preventing the transmission of infectious agents in animals.

Moreover, increase in concern for food security and increasing animal husbandry are escalating the demand for animal vaccines for the livestock population. In addition, demand for animal products for food and clothing has led to growth in livestock production globally. Furthermore, various factors such as variation in food preferences due to changing lifestyles and population growth are increasing the demand for livestock products. Technologically advanced vaccines and an increase in the outbreak of disorders are positively influencing the demand for animal vaccines.

“Frequent Disease Outbreaks Bolstering Demand for Animal Vaccinations”

Growing prevalence of zoonotic diseases have the potential to negatively impact human lives. Moreover, increasing population of both humans has given a rise to the transmission of pathogens within and between species. In addition, emerging and exotic animal diseases are a growing threat to human and animal health.

Improved demand for animal protein has resulted in increased commercial food animal production. Emerging zoonotic diseases of both companion and livestock animals are a major threat to public health. Furthermore, the possibility of world experiencing emerging disease outbreaks is high. Thus, the demand for vaccinating animals has increased.

Besides, there are several zoonotic diseases which have been transmitting to human beings, such as swine flu, bird flu and the current COVID-19 pandemic. In order to prevent this transmission, animal health specialists are emphasizing on the need to develop animal vaccines against a variety of infections.
