These organizations play a critical role in veterinary pharmaceutical development, ensuring their safety and efficacy, and assisting corporations in navigating the veterinary industry's complex regulatory structure.
The veterinary CRO and CDMO market is being pushed by rising awareness of animal health and welfare, severe regulatory requirements, and a need for specialized services. Rising pet ownership, improved livestock production, and the prevalence of zoonotic diseases have all contributed to increased investment in veterinary pharmaceutical research and development. Stringent safety and efficacy criteria have increased demand for specialized services. Advances in veterinary medicine and technology have offered prospects for novel medicines, accelerating market growth. Pharmaceutical companies and CRO/CDMOs can collaborate strategically to create drugs at a lower cost and with greater efficiency. Overall, these aspects contribute to the market's growth.
The Veterinary CRO & CDMO Market is segmented by animal type, application type and service type,. Based on animal type, the market is segrigated into companion and livestock animals. By application type, the market is segmented into medicine and medical devices. By service type, the market is segmented into discovery, development, manufacturing, packaging & labeling, and market approval & post-marketing.
The livestock animal segment led the business in 2022, accounting for 40.4% of total revenue because to the high production rate of vaccinations, medicines, and infectious disease diagnostic goods aimed primarily at food-producing animals. The dominant share is also attributed to rising protein consumption, milk or meat requirements, and expanding live animal markets worldwide. Furthermore, rising zoonotic concerns and increased spending on livestock animals are driving the demand for CROs and CDMOs to support huge medication production.
The medical devices segment is estimated to increase at the quickest CAGR throughout the forecast period. Rising technical breakthroughs in veterinary diagnostics, rising animal healthcare expenditure, and the widespread availability of contract veterinary equipment manufacturers and raw material suppliers are driving segment expansion. Furthermore, corporations are investing more in expanding their production capacity through the use of broad networks of CROs and CDMOs, which has a beneficial impact on and supports subsequent growth rates.
North America dominated the animal health CRO & CDMO market, accounting for more than 30% of total revenue. This considerable share can be attributable to the strong presence of important companies coupled with the rising number of drug development and veterinary product launch activities in the region. Rising veterinary clinical trial activities in the United States, increased availability of contract organizations in veterinary product development, improved manufacturing infrastructure in the region's developed countries, and increasing animal healthcare investments all contribute to market growth. The Asia Pacific area would exhibit the quickest CAGR during the predicted period. This is primarily due to the region's attractiveness, as well as the low-cost and flexible sourcing provided by large networks of veterinary outsourcing companies. Countries, like China and India, have been dominating in medical outsourcing for some years; moreover, recently, Southeast Asian countries, like Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam, are garnering market attention with significant potential.
