Which Drivers Are Contributing To The Expansion Of The Veterinary Reference Laboratory Market?
The rising incidence of zoonotic diseases is projected to drive expansion within the veterinary reference laboratories market in the future. These diseases are health conditions transferable from animals to humans, frequently via direct contact, bites, or tainted food and water sources. The increase in zoonotic diseases stems from greater human engagement with animals and wildlife, fostering more chances for pathogens to disseminate from animals to individuals. Veterinary reference laboratories serve as potent and vital instruments for preventing zoonotic illnesses, enhancing animal health and welfare, ensuring safe food production, and safeguarding public health. For example, data from February 2023 indicates that, as reported by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a US-based independent, nonpartisan member organization, think tank, and publisher, up to 75% of newly discovered or emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) and 60% of recognized infectious diseases originated from zoonotic sources. Globally, zoonoses are responsible for 2.7 million human fatalities and 2.5 billion episodes of disease in people annually. Consequently, the rising prevalence of zoonotic diseases is stimulating the expansion of the veterinary reference laboratories market.
