Press Release

Animal Biotechnology Market to Grow with a CAGR of 9.33% through 2028

Advancements in genetic engineering and genomics and the need for more sustainable and efficient agricultural practices are expected to drive the Global Animal Biotechnology Market growth in the forecast period, 2024-2028.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Animal Biotechnology Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2028”, the Global Animal Biotechnology Market stood at USD 22.70 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 9.33% in the forecast period, 2024-2028. This can be attributed to increasing investments and research. Governments, research institutions, and private companies are investing heavily in animal biotechnology research and development. This investment is driving innovation and the commercialization of new technologies and products, further expanding the market's growth potential.

Moreover, consumers are becoming more conscious of the origin and production methods of animal-derived products. As a result, there will be a growing demand for transparency and traceability in the supply chain, which can be facilitated through biotechnology.

Key factors driving growth in this industry include the increasing demand for genetically modified therapeutic proteins that offer enhanced disease resistance, their applications in cancer treatment, and the heightened focus on preventive care for pets. Other contributing factors to industry expansion include the growing demand for animals in agriculture, meat production, and animal-based products, increased awareness of animal health and welfare, the expanding role of animals in pharmaceutical development for humans, and the rising rate of animal adoption. Furthermore, the increasing incidence of cancer in dogs is acting as a catalyst for industry growth. According to the National Cancer Institute, nearly 6 million new cancer diagnoses are made in dogs each year. The Veterinary Cancer Society has projected that 1 in 4 dogs will develop cancer at some point, and nearly 50% of dogs over the age of 10 will develop cancer. Another concerning trend is the rising prevalence of obesity among pets globally. Excess weight is directly linked to joint strain and osteoarthritis in dogs, impairing their mobility. Petpedia.co reports that 30% of all dogs in the U.S. are obese. Therefore, these trends, coupled with other factors, are expected to have a positive impact on the market.

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed immense strain on public health systems worldwide, emphasizing the need for sustainable investments in healthcare systems. The pandemic compelled a widespread shift to remote work, creating challenges for medium and small businesses, including limitations on veterinary clinic visits due to restrictions. Moreover, in a globally interconnected world heavily reliant on supply chain logistics, the pandemic and related measures caused supply chain disruptions. For example, Romania prohibited the export of animal feed to non-European Union countries, leading to severe demand-supply imbalances in the animal feed sector. Additionally, the consumption of fish and meat experienced a sharp decline worldwide, consequently reducing the demand for feed additives and impacting market growth.

Governments are increasingly implementing initiatives and campaigns to promote animal health, which is expected to drive demand for animal health biotechnology in the future. For instance, in January 2021, the Canadian and Ontario governments allocated up to $4 million through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership to provide farmers with improved access to veterinary services when needed. Similarly, the TRPVB initiative, a collaboration between the Department of Biotechnology in India and TANUVAS-Chennai, aims to foster technology advancements in veterinary vaccines, biologicals, and diagnostics through a coordinated approach.

Advancements in immunology, molecular biology, and genetic engineering have broadened the horizons of animal health biotechnology. Breakthroughs in technologies like molecular markers, farm animal genome sequencing, and other biotechnology applications offer new avenues for research and modernization of the animal health industry. In December 2021, the Asian Development Bank invested up to $10 million in Zenex Animal Health India Private Limited to expand its manufacturing and distribution of high-quality animal health products. This investment will support Zenex in maintenance, working capital, and research and development of new products.

The growing emphasis on educating about animal genetic testing is expected to further propel the market. For example, the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine has launched an improved website and introduced numerous new tests for the veterinary community. Additionally, the rising incidence of zoonotic diseases is driving demand for advanced diagnostic solutions. Brazil, with the second-largest cattle inventory globally in 2021, has recently faced significant zoonotic disease challenges, such as avian flu and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), which have led to large-scale culling of birds and cattle.

The Global Animal Biotechnology Market is segmented into product type, application, animal type, end-use, regional distribution, and company.

Based on its animal type, the livestock sector dominated the market in 2022, holding the largest share. Livestock is gaining increasing importance in the agricultural development of developing nations. The contributions of livestock to both agriculture and the gross domestic product (GDP) have seen significant growth in various countries. The demand for livestock products is closely linked to income levels across different regions of the world. The expanding urban population, dietary changes, and shifts in lifestyle are driving the growth of livestock production, consequently contributing to the expansion of this segment. Moreover, government initiatives aimed at promoting livestock vaccinations are fostering market growth.

For example, in June 2022, Indonesia initiated a nationwide livestock vaccination program in response to a significant increase in the number of cattle affected by foot and mouth disease, which exceeded 151,000 cases. Within the livestock segment, cattle held the largest share of revenue in 2021. The United States, with approximately 93.8 million cattle and calves as of 2020, plays a substantial role in this regard. On the other hand, the companion animal category is expected to experience significant growth during the forecast period, driven by the rising demand for effective pet care and the strengthening of the bond between pets and their owners, owing to the associated health benefits. Banfield Pet Hospital, in January 2021, reported a substantial surge in pet ownership in the United States, providing further support for the growth of this segment.

Based on end-use, the veterinary hospitals and clinics category dominated the market in 2022, holding the largest share of revenue, and is projected to maintain its leadership throughout the forecast period. The presence of a diverse array of treatment and diagnostic options within veterinary hospitals and clinics significantly contributes to the growth of this segment. The rising incidence of zoonotic diseases, driven by factors like globalization and climate changes, is expected to fuel the demand for diagnostic procedures, thus promoting the growth of the point-of-care testing and in-house testing segment in the upcoming years.

Conversely, the "others" category is poised to experience the most rapid growth in the forecast period. Veterinary research institutes and universities are anticipated to grow at an attractive rate during this time frame. This growth can be attributed to the increasing investment in research and development aimed at advancing diagnostic tools and developing more effective vaccines and medications. Research institutes play a pivotal role in the development of these diagnostic innovations.
