The veterinary drug market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 5.5% during the forecast period 2020-2026. The veterinary drug is used to prevent and/or treat diseases in the animals including companion animals, livestock and other animals. Rising trend for pets as a companion, increases the possibility of zoonotic diseases (disease passing from animals & insect to people), and rising meat and dairy consumption are the key factors for the growth of the market across the globe. 

High adoption of pet animals is one of the major factor boosting the market. As per 2019-20, American Pet Products Association survey, 67% of the US household owns a pet as compared to 56% in 1988. Moreover, the total number of households in the US with pets has increased from around 90 million in 1988 to 130 million in 2019. Moreover, around $95.7 billion were spent on pets in 2019 in the US out of which $36.9 billion goes to pet food and treats and $19.2 billion goes to supplies, live animals, and OTC medicines. Growth in animal insurance is another major factor for the growth of the market. As per the North American Pet Health Insurance Association (NAPHIA), around 2.43 million pets were insured in North America in 2018 with an increase of 17% YoY. 

Moreover, factory farming for meat is also driving the market. In factory farming, a large number of animals including cows, pigs, turkeys, goats, sheep, pigs, or chickens are held in order to increase the production of eggs, meat, beef, and milk at the lowest possible cost. In the US, more than 95% of animals are produced in factory farming for maximizing agribusiness profit. The bulk of animals are kept and raised in the farm which significantly increases the chances of spreading diseases among animals. This, in turn, will increase the demand for veterinary drugs to protect the animals on the farm from infectious diseases.
