U.S. Animal Health Market Growth & Trends:
The U.S. animal health market size is expected to reach USD 19.77 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.97% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is primarily driven by growing animal population and ownership rates, increased expenditure on animals, an increasing focus on preventative animal healthcare, advances in veterinary medicine, and rising R&D investment in veterinary pharmaceuticals to launch innovative products. For instance, in November 2024, Bimeda launched MoxiSolv Injection (moxidectin), an FDA-approved parasiticide for beef and non-lactating dairy cattle, in a convenient, non-shattering 500 mL plastic bottle.
Furthermore, the industry is also driven by rising incidences of zoonotic diseases, increased livestock population, growing focus on preventive care, and growing animal expenditure. The livestock population in the U.S. has increased, with significant growth in cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry being raised for meat production. For instance, as of January 2024, the U.S. had 87.8 million cattle and 74.97 million swine stock, according to the U.S. Foreign Agricultural Service's Livestock and Poultry: World Markets and Trade report. This substantial livestock population necessitates comprehensive veterinary care and medical interventions to maintain health and productivity.
In addition, the economic significance of the cattle industry, which contributes over USD 70 billion annually, has driven stakeholders to prioritize health management to mitigate potential losses due to diseases. The rising consumer demand for high-quality beef and dairy products and growing awareness of sustainable farming practices have also played a crucial role in adopting health management solutions for cattle. Government-backed initiatives and enhanced veterinary services in rural areas further strengthen the sector, ensuring its continued expansion.
Additionally, increasing approval of medicated feed additives significantly drives the market by improving livestock health and production efficiency. For instance, in June 2024, The FDA approved Elanco's methane-reducing feed additive, Bovaer (3-NOP), for lactating dairy cattle. Bovaer can reduce methane emissions by 30% per cow, potentially lowering emissions equivalent to removing 285,000 cars from the road annually if used by one million cows. This innovation offers financial incentives for dairy farmers through carbon markets, supporting sustainability efforts and meeting global climate goals. In partnership with dsm-Firmenich, Elanco will market Bovaer across North America, contributing to sustainable farming practices and enhancing the dairy industry's competitiveness.
Similarly, rapid advancements in veterinary medicine present lucrative opportunities in the industry. Improvements in animal pharmaceuticals result in the development of more focused and efficient therapies for many kinds of animal illnesses and ailments. Furthermore, the demand for innovative veterinary medications is being driven by new drugs and therapies that provide better results for animals, decreased side effects, and increased efficacy. For instance, in September 2024, Merck Animal Health expanded its NOBIVAC NXT vaccine platform by launching NOBIVAC NXT FeLV, the first RNA vaccine for feline leukemia virus (FeLV). This innovative vaccine offers optimized protection against FeLV, a common feline infectious disease, and is expected to be available at veterinary clinics nationwide. Similarly, in June 2024, Bimeda launched Bimasone, the first FDA-approved generic flumethasone, used to treat inflammation and allergic conditions in horses, dogs, and cats.
