Rising Occurrences of Zoonotic Diseases and Increasing Rising Awareness are expected to drive the Middle East & Africa Veterinary Medicine Market in the forecast period 2026-2030

According to TechSci Research report, “Middle East & Africa Veterinary Medicine Market – By Country, Competition, Opportunities and Forecast, 2030F”, the Middle East & Africa Veterinary Medicine Market is valued at USD 920.75 Million in 2024 and and is anticipated to project steady growth in the forecast period with a CAGR of 5.55% during the forecast period 2026-2030. 

The Middle East and Africa Veterinary Medicine Market is witnessing significant growth, driven by two key factors: the rising demand for meat and the enforcement of mandatory animal vaccination protocols. These trends are transforming the veterinary landscape, with far-reaching implications for animal health and the region's food production industries.

The increasing consumption of meat across the Middle East and Africa is primarily driven by evolving dietary preferences and growing affluence. As economies develop and living standards improve, there is a marked shift towards higher meat consumption, which is part of a broader "nutrition transition" from traditional, plant-based diets to those rich in animal protein, dairy, and processed foods. This dietary shift is fueling the demand for livestock production, placing a greater emphasis on animal health to meet the needs of the expanding meat industry. Here, mandatory vaccination programs play a crucial role. Governments across the region are implementing stringent vaccination requirements to protect livestock, thereby ensuring a steady and healthy supply of meat. These programs are vital to prevent the spread of infectious diseases that could severely impact livestock populations and disrupt the meat supply chain.

Mandatory vaccination initiatives include vaccines against various diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza, brucellosis, and other highly contagious conditions. By making vaccination mandatory, authorities aim to build a robust defense against these diseases, safeguarding both the health and productivity of livestock.

In addition to their role in disease prevention, vaccination programs also have broader public health implications. Many of the diseases targeted by these programs are zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted from animals to humans. By reducing the incidence of these diseases in livestock, governments are simultaneously protecting agricultural workers and consumers, minimizing the risk of human exposure to zoonotic infections.

Furthermore, vaccination programs contribute to more sustainable and ethical farming practices. By reducing disease outbreaks, vaccines help decrease the reliance on antibiotics and other pharmaceutical treatments, promoting environmentally sustainable and socially responsible livestock farming.

However, the growth of the veterinary medicine market in the region may be hindered by the high costs associated with animal healthcare and a shortage of skilled veterinary professionals, which could slow market expansion in the coming years.

Middle East & Africa Veterinary Medicine Market segmentation is based on animal type, product, route of administration, distribution channel, country distribution, and by company.

Based on Distribution channel, Veterinary Hospitals & Clinics segment dominate the Middle East & Africa Veterinary Medicine Market. Veterinary hospitals and clinics serve as the primary point of care for both companion animals and livestock, offering a full spectrum of services that include disease diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and ongoing care. These healthcare facilities are crucial in delivering specialized veterinary services, such as surgery, diagnostics, vaccinations, and emergency care. Given their central role in animal health, veterinary hospitals and clinics often become the first line of access for veterinary medicines, driving their significant share in the market.

This direct access to veterinary services allows for the consistent and efficient distribution of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and other treatments. Pet owners and livestock farmers increasingly rely on these facilities to obtain the necessary medications and advice for managing their animals' health, making veterinary hospitals and clinics the dominant distribution channel for veterinary medicines in the region. The growth in pet ownership, particularly in the more affluent Gulf countries, has significantly contributed to the expansion of veterinary hospitals and clinics. With increasing disposable incomes and changing cultural attitudes towards pet care, more individuals are seeking professional veterinary services. This has expanded the need for medicines, particularly for disease prevention and treatment of companion animals, including routine vaccinations, parasite control, and chronic disease management. Additionally, as pet owners become more informed about the health needs of their animals, there is an increasing demand for specialized treatments, such as oncology, orthopedic care, and dental health services. Veterinary hospitals and clinics are uniquely positioned to provide these advanced services, which, in turn, drives the demand for a broad range of veterinary medicines and pharmaceuticals.

Based on country, UAE is poised to witness fastest market growth in the Middle East & Africa Veterinary Medicine Market. The UAE government’s commitment to improving animal health and increasing food security has played a crucial role in driving the demand for veterinary medicines. In line with its Vision 2021, the UAE has made substantial investments in public health, agriculture, and veterinary services. The government has implemented various policies to safeguard the health of both livestock and companion animals, ensuring that veterinary practices and vaccination programs are strictly regulated. Furthermore, the UAE’s push for self-sufficiency in food production has increased the need for veterinary medicines to maintain livestock health, as the country aims to reduce dependency on imported meat and dairy products.

The establishment of animal health centers, coupled with regulatory support for disease prevention, particularly in livestock such as camels, cattle, and poultry, has created a conducive environment for the veterinary medicines market. These efforts not only enhance the livestock sector but also contribute to the development of a sustainable and self-sufficient food supply, strengthening the UAE’s position as a regional leader in the veterinary medicine market. The UAE’s growing affluence, along with a shift in lifestyle, has led to a rise in pet ownership, particularly among expatriates and affluent locals. As consumer attitudes towards animal welfare evolve, there is an increasing demand for advanced veterinary care, including preventive health services, diagnostics, and specialty treatments. The rise in pet ownership has further fueled the demand for veterinary products, such as vaccines, antibiotics, and other pharmaceuticals aimed at maintaining the health of companion animals. The growing recognition of pets as family members, rather than just animals, has created a market where pet owners actively seek high-quality, effective veterinary treatments. Veterinary hospitals and clinics in the UAE are becoming the preferred distribution channels for veterinary medicines, with well-established infrastructure providing a seamless experience for consumers. As a result, the pet care industry is contributing significantly to the veterinary medicine market's rapid expansion.
