With that, the medication is also available for animal health care, surgery, and preventive services.

Some medical conditions treated using veterinary medicine including pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, hookworm, whipworm, infections, and others.

Veterinary medicines also have a positive impact on human lives by making sure animal products are safe and do not cause any danger because of their consumption.

The global animal medicine market is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR over the years to come.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The growth of this market is attributed towards major pertaining factors including; the increasing worldwide awareness regarding animal health, the surge in prevalence of various medical conditions in animals, the growing  government initiatives and policies to immunize the animals, the increasing number of pet adoptions resulting in the growing need for better treatment options for companion animals, the rising veterinary expenditure, the increasing number of veterinary professionals, the increasing cases of zoonotic and chronic diseases and the increasing global livestock population etc.

Additionally, animal medicines manufacturers have started increasingly producing combination medicated feed additives to improve efficiencies of the end products. Medicated feed additives which include vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, pharmaceuticals, minerals, growth hormones and fungus are added to animal foods and in general help maintain animal health and promote growth and feed efficiency. This practice is driving tremendous growth in the global animal medicine market comprehensively.

Moreover, several pet insurance policies are said to exist which cover a certain part of the body damage or entire body damage for expensive animal drugs and procedures. The increasing penetration of these pet insurance coupled with the increasing consumer awareness and rising disposable income of companion animal owners is expected to fuel growth in the overall animal medicine market.

Furthermore, the rising technological advances and scientific innovations in animal market such as anti-neoplastic veterinary drugs and genomic tests, new product launches, strategic collaborations, acquisitions, and mergers, the globally rising meat production and consumption, the robust R&D investment in this sector, new technology with better therapeutic application and raised quality standards and the surging demand for insurance of exotic breeds of dogs and cats will further add to the growth of this market.

However, factors such as rising threat of antibiotic resistance among animals, the high cost associated with animal medicines, lack of veterinary infrastructure facilities in underdeveloped nations and stringent regulations associated with medicate feed additives and consolidation of customers and distributors resulting in the decline of veterinary medicines prices and reductions in free trade impede the growth of this market.
