(PharmaNewsWire.Com, October 06, 2020 ) The APAC animal health market has witnessed significant growth during the last decade and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period to reach USD 20.25 Billion by 2021.
Growth in this animal health market can majorly be attributed to factors such as rapidly increasing livestock population, increasing demand for animal-derived food products, growing awareness about animal health, and rising frequency of animal disease outbreaks.
However, the shift towards vegetarian diets, rising cost of vaccine storage, and restrictions on the use of parasiticides in food-producing animals are expected to restrain the growth of the APAC animal health market. Growth in companion animal ownership and rising adoption of pet health insurance in APAC offer significant growth opportunities for players operating in the APAC animal health market.
