Rising Prevalence of Zoonotic Disease Fuels Europe Veterinary Diagnostics Market
Zoonotic diseases cause illnesses not only in animals but also in humans. These infections can cause from mild to severe conditions. As per the Council on Foreign Relations, zoonoses cause 2.5 billion illnesses and 2.7 million deaths each year globally, accounting for 60% of known infectious diseases and 75% of new or emerging infectious diseases. Also, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2023, 6 out of every 10 infectious diseases in humans are spread by animals, and 3 of 4 new or emerging infectious diseases are transferred by animals. Further, dogs contribute to 99% of all rabies transmissions to humans and are a major source of human rabies deaths. The economic burden due to dog-mediated rabies is estimated to be US$ 8.6 billion/year globally.According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, campylobacteriosis was the most reported zoonotic disease, with 127,840 cases in 2021 compared to 120,946 cases in 2020. Salmonellosis was the second most common zoonotic disease, with 60,050 cases in 2021 compared to 52,702 cases in 2020. The other commonly reported zoonotic diseases are Yarniniosis with 6,789 cases, Shigatoxin-producing E. coli infections with 6,084 cases, and listeriosis with 2,183 cases. Thus, the rising rabies globally increases the need for diagnoses of the illnesses, contributing to the growth of the veterinary diagnostics market. Also, the rising prevalence of zoonotic diseases globally accelerates the demand for veterinary diagnostics.
Europe Veterinary Diagnostics Market Overview
As per the Understanding Animal Research 2023 report, animals have been widely used for research in the European Union (EU) and Norway. Animals such as mice, fish, rats, and birds account for almost 93% of the animals used, with cats, dogs, and primates accounting for 0.22%. Among the EU, Germany has the highest utility of animals for research. A total of 11,609,978 animals were used for research in the EU in 2019, among which 10,40,1673 animals (90%) were used for experimental purposes. Among 11,609,978, 10% (i.e., 1,208,305 animals) were utilized for producing genetically altered animals. As per the Understanding Animal Research 2023 report, less than 4% animals were utilized as compared to 2018 due to the high severity of diseases among animals. Therefore, the rising need for animal research propels the need for diagnostic testing of veterinary animals. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the goose/Guangdong lineage of H5N1 avian influenza viruses caused bird outbreaks in 2020. Also, since 2020, a variant of these viruses belonging to the H5 clade 2.3.4.4b resulted in unprecedented deaths among wild birds and poultry in many European countries. Also, the increase in the trade of animals and animal types in the EU results in spreading of diseases across the region. Therefore, overcoming disease outbreaks from animals is the need of the hour. As a result, the UK promotes high welfare standards for livestock across the EU. Furthermore, the UK is successfully implementing measures such as improving the general well-being of animals to be utilized in scientific testing.Europe Veterinary Diagnostics Market Segmentation
