Global Veterinary Anti-infectives Market Overview

"The Veterinary Anti-infectives Market size is expected to be worth around US$ xx Billion by 2021 from US$ X.xx million in 2031, growing at a CAGR of X.x% during the forecast period 2021 to 2031."

The purpose of veterinary anti-infectives is to prevent and do treatment for deadly animal diseases. Veterinary anti-infectives are much helpful to prevent transmitting foodborne and zoonotic diseases to humans from animals. These diseases are transmitted to humans naturally from animals due to consumption of contaminated water and food, direct contact with infected animals, or exposure to pathogens during preparation of food. These diseases are serious global public health problems. Thus, veterinary anti-infectives are very important to save humans and animals from various deadly diseases.

One among some of the key factors driving growth of the global market is increasing awareness about better animal health. Increasing burden of zoonotic and foodborne diseases is projected positively affect growth of the global market. According to a survey conducted in 2017 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 3,000 die, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 48 million get infected each year owing to foodborne diseases in the US.

Thus, there is an increasing need for curbing these outbreaks, which, in turn, is increasing the demand for veterinary anti-infectives. Increasing pressure on livestock owners to maintain veterinary health standards for meeting demand for fresh meat, dairy products, animal vaccines, and dietary nutrition is projected to further drive growth of the global veterinary anti-infectives market over the forecast period. Moreover, demand for veterinary anti-infectives has been increasing due to increasing pet adoption, the prevalence of bacterial infections, and increasing concerns regarding pet health.

Staphylococcal infection, actinomycosis and nocardiosis, leptospirosis, and bacterial ear infection are among some of the infections that affect animals. In addition, pets are also susceptible to different bacterial diseases such as brucellosis, plague, and Lyme disease. According to a report by the CDC in 2018, cats are more easily infected by plague than dogs and can pass on to humans as well. Increasing technological advancements and new product inventions are projected to create growth opportunities for key players in the global veterinary anti-infectives market over the forecast period.
