Growth Factor
Increasing Pet adoption
Pet adoption is on the rise, and there is a significant demand for pet items, which is propelling the worldwide pet medicines market forward. Weight management, obesity-related illnesses such as diabetes and joint pain, immunological response, heart health, and cognitive support, as well as anti-inflammation and pain management medications, are all needed for an increasing number of aged dogs and cats.
Growing pet parent awareness of the health and well-being of their pets
The COVID-19 pandemic's emphasis on health protection, as well as the resulting shift to stay-at-home lifestyles, raised pet parent awareness of their pets' health and well-being. Despite early failures and hurdles, the veterinary industry—which accounts for 72 percent of global prescription and over-the-counter pet pharmaceutical sales, according to Packaged Facts—managed to close the year with stronger-than-average growth.
