The surge in pet adoption rates is anticipated to drive the progression of the animal therapeutics and diagnostics market in the foreseeable future. As more individuals embrace pets as part of their families, heightened awareness and concern for their well-being have increased the demand for animal treatments and diagnostics. Pet owners demonstrate a willingness to invest in their pets' medical care, encompassing routine check-ups and preventive measures. For instance, in 2021, Chewy Inc., an online retailer in the US specializing in pet products, reported a record-breaking adoption rate of around 977,202 pets, marking the highest adoption rate in six years. Consequently, the escalating rate of pet adoptions significantly propels the animal therapeutics and diagnostics market.

The escalating prevalence of dermatological ailments is forecasted to fuel the expansion of the animal therapeutics and diagnostics market moving forward. Dermatological diseases encompass a wide spectrum of medical conditions impacting the skin, influenced by environmental factors, genetic predispositions, allergies, infections, and lifestyle alterations among animals. With pet owners increasingly prioritizing their animals' well-being and seeking veterinary interventions for dermatological concerns, there's a surge in demand for effective treatments. Moreover, heightened awareness regarding zoonotic diseases, transferable between animals and humans, accentuates the necessity for managing and treating skin conditions in animals. For example, as of October 2022, according to the British Broadcasting Corporation, India witnessed over 2.4 million animals affected by Lumpy Skin Disease, leading to the demise of more than 110,000 cattle. Consequently, the escalating burden of dermatological diseases significantly propels the growth of the animal therapeutics and diagnostics market.

Innovation stands as a pivotal trend gaining traction within the animal therapeutics and diagnostics market. Noteworthy enterprises within this sector are actively developing pioneering technologies to fortify their market presence. As an illustration, in December 2022, EKF Diagnostics, a UK-based company specializing in in vitro diagnostics, unveiled an updated version of the Lactate Scout analyzer tailored for veterinary applications. The enhanced analyzer offers species selection specifically designed for companion animals and cattle, rendering it suitable for implementation in both small and large animal healthcare practices.

Prominent entities operating within the animal therapeutics and diagnostics domain are spearheading innovations, notably telemedicine platforms catering to pet healthcare, in a bid to secure a competitive advantage. Telemedicine encompasses remote diagnosis, consultation, treatment, and monitoring of patients through telecommunication technologies such as video conferencing, phone calls, or secure messaging platforms. For instance, in June 2023, Cargill Inc., a US-based food corporation, introduced Zoonivet, a digital pet-care app. This Telehealth platform streamlines pet healthcare by facilitating video consultations between pet owners and qualified veterinarians, offering accessible and convenient primary pet care services. Zoonivet also plans to extend its services to include surgeries, home diagnostic services, medication, pet food, and pet boarding in key Indian markets.
