Companion Animal Health Market Growth & Trends
The global companion animal health market size is anticipated to reach USD 37.49 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2021 to 2028. Growing pet adoption, rising cases of acute & chronic health conditions in pets, and availability of pet insurance are the factors responsible for the growth of this market.
Growing investments and strategic initiatives by market players to develop advanced solutions for pet care is another key contributor to the growth of the market. For instance, in February 2020, Boehringer Ingelheim received approval for Aservo Equihaler, which is its first therapy for severe equine asthma.
Furthermore, the rising adoption of pet insurance is anticipated to fuel the market growth. As per The Holland Insurance Company Pty. Ltd., 20% of GenY and 12% of baby boomer pet owners have pet insurances in Australia. The pet insurance industry is also growing steadily in countries, such as India. These factors, combined with the humanization of pets and increasing pet health concerns, are expected to increase the demand for pet health products and services.
The market was impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Market participants had to face several challenges, such as demand slowdown, supply chain disruptions, and operational hurdles, due to the changing norms and restrictions. The pandemic created working capital pressures across the commercial value chain. However, the growing attachment of pet owners to their pets during this pandemic resulted in increased spending on pet healthcare. This has positively impacted the industry development.
The market is highly competitive and companies are undertaking various business strategies to sustain the heavy competition. As per its March 2020 press release, Ceva, a French global veterinary health company, focused on its inventory planning to ensure continuous product availability during the pandemic. The pre-availability of several months of safety stocks of the company’s strategic vaccines and pharmaceutical products created an added buffer to combat any supply chain interruptions.
