A new Transparency Market Research report states that the global animal healthcare market was valued at US$27.8 bn in 2013 and is predicted to reach US$41.9 bn by 2019. It is predicted to expand at a CAGR of 7.10% from 2014 to 2019. The title of the report is “Animal Healthcare Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2019.”

According to the report, the animal healthcare market is stimulated by the rising consumption of milk and meat around the world. In addition, the rising prevalence of zoonotic and food-borne diseases and their transfer to human beings through consumption of animal products is also propelling the growth of the market. Furthermore, the growing trend of pet adoption is also augmenting the growth of the animal healthcare market. On the other hand, a number of restrictions posed by regulatory authorities have negatively impacted the sales of antibiotics within the animal healthcare market, thus inhibiting the market. In addition, soaring costs and rising regulations on animal testing have impeded a number of healthcare companies from manufacturing new drugs for animal welfare, thus restraining the growth of the market. A key challenge for the market is the decreasing population of veterinarians, while the emergence of new diseases provides untapped opportunities for the growth of the market for animal healthcare.
