Global Animal Antibiotics and Antimicrobials Market - 2021-2028

Global Animal Antibiotics and Antimicrobials Market - 2021-2028

Market Overview

The global animal antibiotics and antimicrobials size was valued US$ XX billion in 2020 and is estimated to reach US$ XX billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of XX % during the forecast period (2021-2028).

Antibiotic resistance is an important public health issue that all sectors using antibiotics must work together to address. The animal health industry is committed to protecting the health of animals and people by producing safe food and animal products. Antimicrobial stewardship is important to prevent, control and treat bacterial illnesses in animals. In animal health we are committed to promoting science-based policies that enhance antimicrobial stewardship and to working with veterinarians and food producers to implement good stewardship practices. Thus the popularity of animal antibiotics and antimicrobials among the animal husbandry is driving the growth of the market in the forecast period.

Market Dynamics

The global animal antibiotics and antimicrobials market growth is driven by the increasing preservance of bacterial infections, such as pneumonia and skin infections will drive the growth of the market in the forecast period.

Rising awareness among consumers will stoke market growth in the forecast period

Growing urbanization, increasing disposable income and increasing demand for animals as a pet are encouraging growth in the animal antimicrobials and antibiotics market. Increasing animal disease outbreaks are touted to play a key role in aiding expansion of the global animal antimicrobials and antibiotics market. Growing livestock population is anticipated to further assist the animal antimicrobials and antibiotics market.

Awareness on animal illness and other diseases spread in animals and livestock which makes it difficult to have animal-based products edible for human use is leading towards animal antimicrobials and antibiotics to cure these illnesses in animals.

Investments in biosecurity to curb animal diseases drive the market growth

Animal diseases for instance, African swine fever or avian influenza are increasing day after day, thereby affecting new areas as well. Therefore, reducing probable risks by means of implementing procedures developed for avoiding spread and introduction of pathogens in the animal population is expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for animal antibiotics and antimicrobials market. Heavy efforts have been taken by veterinary services to enter into collaboration with various stakeholders, thereby developing appropriate biosecurity measures, positively impacting on the development of animal antibiotics and antimicrobials market. OIE Regional Commission for Europe is planning to implement biosecurity plans for enhancing biosecurity in the non-commercial and backyard farms as well, thereby preventing spread of diseases. Growing measures taken to prevent spread of the animal diseases is further expected to contribute towards the growth of animal antibiotics and antimicrobials market.

Shortage of new antibiotics is likely to hinder the market growth

On the contrary, shortage of new antibiotics coupled with increasing resistance to antibiotics and antimicrobials is expected to hinder growth of the market in the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The growth of the global animal antimicrobials and antibiotics market is likely to be influenced by the rising cases of zoonotic diseases, such as SARS-CoV-2 induced Covid-19, worldwide. In addition, rising demand for animal-derived food items, pet insurance, and implementation of rules pertaining to the prevention of animal disease spread are expected to augur well for the market. There has been an increased spending on animal health in the recent years, which is expected to drive demand for the animal antimicrobials and antibiotics in the near future. Thus the pendamic doesnot effect the market in the forecast period.

Segment Analysis

Tetracycline segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2028)

Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic from the same family as oxytetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline, and others. The tetracycline antibiotics are bacteriostatic. Their mechanism of action is through the reversible binding of bacterial 30S ribosomes and the alteration of the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. Tetracycline antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections due to aerobic, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, mycoplasma, rickettsiae, chlamydia, and some protozoa. Doxycycline and minocycline have greater lipid solubility than tetracycline and may be more effective against some Staphylococcal infections. Certain gram-negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas and some enteric bacteria, are resistant to tetracycline.

Oral tetracycline is used in dogs and cats to treat susceptible bacterial infections and infections due to other susceptible organisms. Tetracycline has some immunomodulatory properties and may be used with steroids and niacinamide to treat cutaneous discoid lupus erythematosus of dogs. When used to treat autoimmune disease, there may be a considerable lag (one to two months) before appreciable improvement is seen.

Ophthalmic tetracycline is used to treat Chlamydial, Mycoplasma, and non-specific conjunctivitis in the cat. Although topical ophthalmic tetracycline is useful for improving the clinical signs associated with Chlamydia, systemic treatment with doxycycline may be necessary to eliminate the organism.

Penicillin has the positive market growth in the forecast period. Penicillin for dogs is most often prescribed as part of treatment for a bacterial infection. It is commonly prescribed for infections of the urinary tract, lungs, and kidneys. A topical penicillin lotion or ointment may be used to treat various skin infections, and penicillin is also sometimes used in treating leptospirosis, wounds, and dental infections.

Owing to several possible serious side effects, veterinarians are prescribing penicillin for dogs with less frequency than they once did. They are more likely to prescribe a different antibiotic if another treatment is available. Possible side effects of penicillin include yeast infections, vomiting, and diarrhea. Dogs are also prone to allergic reactions that can include eczema, swelling, and itching. Even more serious, this antibiotic can sometimes cause kidney damage, liver damage, and a weakened immune system.

Macrolides and lincosamides are used for treatment of diseases that are common in food producing animals including medication of large groups of animals. They are critically important for animal health and therefore it is highly important that they are used prudently to contain resistance against major animal pathogens. In addition, these are listed by WHO (AGISAR, 2009) as critically important for the treatment of certain zoonotic infections in humans and risk mitigation measures are needed to reduce the risk for spread of resistance between animals and humans.
