COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to Logistical Problems

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

This market was hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic due to serious supply chain and logistical problems at the global level. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and labor shortages at meat processing plants caused a huge backlog of pigs on farms, which resulted in the disruption of the whole food supply chain, starting with feed production and ending with slaughter. This posed a time-sensitive problem to farmers who could not transport their livestock and were forced to implement other desperate measures, such as decreasing the growth rate of pigs or, in some extreme scenarios, slaughtering herds, all of which decreased demand on routine veterinary products.

LATEST TRENDS

Co-Ordination of Biosecurity to Propel Market Growth

There are several major trends that are currently shaping this market, representing an international movement towards more mature and preventive animal management strategies. One key trend is the growing attention to the development of complex vaccines and co-ordination of biosecurity as a key tool in combating infectious diseases such as African swine fever and porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome. Increasing pressure on precision livestock farming, where digital technologies (smart sensors, AI-controlled cameras, data analytics, etc.) are used to track the health and behavior of pigs in real time on the individual level.

SWINE HEALTHCARER MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on application the market can be categorized into Vaccines, Parasiticides, Anti-Infectives, Medicinal Feed Additives & Others

• Vaccines: is concerned with preventive medicine and forms the basis of contemporary swine health management. Immunity against some of the major viral and bacterial illnesses of pigs, like African Swine Fever, Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, and Porcine Circovirus, is induced by vaccines.

• Parasiticides: This group of products is important to help manage external and internal parasites which may threaten the livelihood, development and overall performance of pigs. These parasiticides are referred to as either ectoparasiticides (outside pests such as the ticks and mites) or endoparasiticides (inside pests such as the worms).

• Anti-Infectives: antibiotics and other antimicrobials, which may be administered to treat bacterial infection in pigs. These products still have their place in therapies, yet the market is changing radically, with the world starting to pay much more attention to antimicrobial resistance.

• Medicinal Feed Additives: This category encompasses an enormous number of items that are incorporated into pig meals to enhance health, growth and general performance. The non-antibiotic option seems to dominate this segment as compared to antibiotics. They also contain prebiotics and probiotics to boost gut health and immunity, enzymes to boost nutrient absorption and phytogenic (plant-based additives) with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized into Farm, House & Others

• Farm: The largest and most important market of this market segment. The products and services target large and business pig farms where health management is an important element of business success and profitability.

• House: Extremely small, extremely niche segment of the market that serves individuals who keep pigs as pets, as a hobby or in other small, non-commercial establishments. Medical need is totally differentiated and is based on individual animal health and not on economic product at the herd level.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Driving Factors

Increasing Global Demand for Pork Products to Drive the Market Advancement

One of the major driving factors of the Swine Healthcare Market Growth is due to the increasing global demand for pork products. The consumption of pork is currently increasing because the world population is increasing and per capita income is increasing, especially in the emerging economies. This pressure on production forces pig farmers to be more efficient and to raise healthy and productive herds. In the meantime, to meet the demand, producers are investing more funds in preventive healthcare, vaccines, parasiticides and dietary supplements so that the disease outbreak could be reduced to the lowest possible level and the economic losses could be minimized. It is based on the maximization of the yield of a certain number of swine, and good health of swine is a crucial component of successful and lucrative production.

Antimicrobial Resistance to Expand the Market

The second important driving force is raising the level of interest to spread infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. The global spread of highly contagious diseases like the African Swine Fever (ASF) and the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) always poses a major and negative threat to the swine industry. The effects of such diseases could be mass culling, trade restrictions and huge losses of money, so governments and farmers should think about proper biosecurity and vaccination measures.

Restraining Factor

Complex Veterinary Medication to the Market Growth

The strict and complex veterinary medication and feed additive regulation is one of the major constraining forces of this market. The development, approval and commercialization of new animal health products (especially anti-infectives and vaccines) is lengthy, expensive and unpredictable. Regulatory bodies worldwide are becoming more concerned with food safety, animal welfare, and prevention of antimicrobial resistance, which is reflected in heightened demand and the laborious and costly new product development process.

Precision Livestock Farming to the Market Growth

Opportunity

The adoption of digital technologies and precision livestock farming (PLF) is viewed as a significant change that is penetrating this market and can be identified as an opportunity factor. The trend is towards the use of technologies such as real-time medical monitoring devices, AI-driven cameras, and data analytics to create an active and personalized solution to tracking the herd members. The technologies can prevent disease before it can spread and save a great deal of money that would otherwise be in the hands of the farmers who are able to contain the disease before it spreads.

Moreover, they endorse a change of practice, viz., substituting blanket antimicrobial therapy with more focused therapy, and this is in line with the consumer and regulatory pressure to adopt responsible antimicrobial stewardship.

Highly Contagious Diseases to Challenge the Market Growth

Challenge

One of the issues with this market is that highly contagious diseases will continue to develop at an unprecedented rate and will leave behind novel treatments that are being developed and commercialized.

Other diseases such as the African Swine Fever (ASF) and the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) are particularly devastating since they are extremely expensive due to high mortality, low productivity and disruption of international trade.
