Cattle Health Market Size

Cattle Health Market Analysis

The Cattle Health Market size is estimated at USD 8.43 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 11.11 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.67% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the cattle health market as it affected the pharmaceutical supply chain, and several diagnostic and treatment procedures were affected due to the lockdown restrictions imposed by various countries around the world. Hence the demand for cattle healthcare products was reduced. For example, as per the 2021 report by Zoetis Inc., due to COVID-19, the need for their products was reduced, which negatively affected their business. Hence, COVID-19 negatively affected the market during the pandemic. However, with the reduction in COVID-19 cases, the reopening of global economies, and the resumption of trade in veterinary products and services, the cattle health market is expected to recover from the impact of COVID-19 in the next two-three years.
• The market for cattle health is being driven by factors such as increasing R&D expenditure in the cattle health sector, the rising burden of cattle disease, and increasing initiatives by government and animal welfare associations. For instance, the IntechOpen Journal article published in November 2021 reported that mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland in which pain persists in both or one mammary gland and is a prevalent disease in the bovines. It also reported that in India, in buffaloes from rural and urban dairy farmers, there was nearly an 18.74% prevalence of clinical mastiti in buffaloes from rural and urban dairy farmers. Thus, such a high incidence of such diseases is expected to increase the consumption of drugs and the usage of medical devices for cattle health and thus, increasing the cattle health market growth over the forecast period.
• Furthermore, the increasing value and volume of animal product and rising demand is expected to increase the production of animal products. For instance, India and the United States are becoming significant hubs for livestock and poultry production, which is also acting as a major factor for market growth. For instance, according to an article published by Koala Guide LLC in June 2021, India, the United States, Pakistan, China, and Brazil are the five largest producers of milk. India, the United States, and Pakistan account for about 40% of the total milk production in the world. Thus, increasing productivity is expected to increase market growth in the future. Furthermore, product launches are another factor in market growth as new and innovative products provide better treatment for cattle which increases their adoption and thus increases market growth. For instance, in August 2022, two institutes of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) developed a vaccine for lumpy skin disease, which is spreading in India. Thus, the abovementioned factors are expected to fuel growth in the cattle health market over the forecast period. However, the lack of infrastructure and funding, coupled with the increasing costs of animal testing and veterinary service, are expected to hinder the market growth.
