Description

South Africa Veterinary Medicine Market Summary

The South Africa veterinary medicine market size was estimated at USD 717.5 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1,392 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2025 to 2033. The market is primarily driven by growing support initiatives to improve animal health and the rising prevalence of zoonotic and animal diseases in South Africa.

Similarly, increasing pet ownership and rising poultry disease outbreaks like bird flu/high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) are also driving the market growth.

In recent years, the country has experienced rapid developments in the regulatory environment related to veterinary medicines. The authorities are attempting to ensure that the approval of new veterinary drugs is completed in a structured and thorough manner. These steps are being taken due to the increasing number of disease outbreaks among the veterinary population and a rise in illicit veterinary drug sales in the country.

South Africa is largely dependent on its poultry sector in terms of total animal production. According to data published by the South African Poultry Association (SAPA), in 2024, poultry meat contributed 36.4% of animal-product value (up from 35.2% in 2023) and 15.7% of total agricultural gross value (up from 14.9% in 2023). Out of the poultry population, over 74% are used for meat production, and 26% for egg production. Such dependence on the poultry sector increases demand for medicines, such as vaccines, anti-infectives, medicated feed additives, and parasiticides, among others, to ensure healthy meat or eggs are produced from these chickens.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
