The new industry research report from Technavio analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

Demand for protein-rich diet

A large percentage of the human population globally consume animal products such as milk, eggs, and meat. This rise in population is a strong factor fueling the demand for animal-based food. Rapid urbanization has led to the rise in disposable income and change in consumption pattern of an individual, especially the middle-class segment. People now prefer more of protein rich diet, which is boosting the demand for protein rich products such as animal-based meat and related food items such as milk, egg, and dairy products. The growing consumption requires maximum output from animal produce, which has resulted in the rapid increase in healthy, protein-rich, and disease-free animal products. Such preconditions increase the growth prospects of animal care products market as animal owners want to use them effectively to enhance the overall productivity.

Rise in incidences of zoonotic diseases

Zoonotic diseases are mainly caused by the consumption of food obtained from an infected animal, which increases the risk of pathogen transfer from animals to humans. They spread between animals and humans through parasite, viruses, fungi, and bacteria. Animals get infected by this disease due to the high stocking densities in feedlots, long transportation times, and poor hygienic conditions at slaughterhouses. Moreover, to meet the growing demands of the market, the vendors are producing more products in the limited space. This leads to an inadequate space and hygiene for the animals. The increase in the consumption of meat, also increases the chance of exposure to food-borne pathogens, and surges the risk of acquiring these diseases. Owing to all these factors, regulatory agencies such as European Food Safety Authority have emphasized the need for effective disease management to obtain disease-free animal products suitable for human consumption. The disease can be kept at bay through effective treatment of the infected animal by using animal health products, such as animal pharmaceuticals. Besides this, to keep the hygiene of the animals intact, the farm and animal owners must use antibacterial drugs. As the demand for animal food and their products is growing, the use the use of antibacterial and antibiotics will keep going up, thereby boosting the market growth.
