Which Drivers Are Expected To Impact The Companion Animal Pharmaceuticals Market During The Forecast Period?

An increasing occurrence of zoonotic diseases is anticipated to drive the expansion of the companion animal pharmaceuticals market in the future. Zoonotic illnesses are conditions naturally transmissible between vertebrate animals and humans. The rise in zoonotic diseases stems from greater interactions between humans and animals, fostering more chances for pathogens to cross species barriers and speed up infection dissemination. Companion Animal Pharmaceuticals contribute to managing zoonotic diseases through offering medications and preventative care that lessen pet infections, consequently diminishing the likelihood of human transmission. For instance, data from February 2023, provided by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a US-based independent, nonpartisan member organization, think tank, and publisher, indicates that up to 75% of newly identified or emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) and 60% of known infectious diseases originate from zoonoses. Annually, zoonoses are responsible for 2.7 million human fatalities and 2.5 billion disease incidents globally. Consequently, the increasing occurrence of zoonotic diseases fuels the expansion of the companion animal pharmaceuticals market.
