COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on the veterinary active pharmaceutical ingredients market. During pandemic, the number of veterinary visits decreased due to lockdown and fear of exposure to viruses. Also, many pet owners faced financial constraints. The economic downturn caused by the pandemic have influenced consumer spending on pet care products and veterinary services, including veterinary APIs. which has impacted animal healthcare expenditure. This have led to a decline in the demand for certain veterinary APIs and medications. The pandemic prompted a shift in priorities and resources towards human healthcare and pharmaceuticals.

Prices for various veterinary APIs and feed additives skyrocketed as a result of the outbreak.  For example, the price of vitamin C has risen considerably, reaching over 30 RMB (USD 4.19) per kg, or an almost 50% increase. Meanwhile, the price of Vitamin D3 has nearly doubled.

However, the pandemic led to a surge in pet adoptions which created a larger customer base for veterinary services and products, including veterinary APIs. Also, the adoption of telemedicine and virtual consultations in the veterinary industry increased during pademic. Veterinary API suppliers and pharmaceutical companies adapted to e-commerce trends, making it easier for pet owners to access veterinary medications online.

Veterinary Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Driving Factors

The veterinary active pharmaceutical ingredients market is estimated to develop at a 7% CAGR by 2032. The global pet care sector is worth more than USD 280 billion in 2022. A variety of causes are driving this expansion, including an increase in the prevalence of zoonotic illnesses, an increase in animal populations and pet ownership, and an increase in the number of veterinarians and veterinary visits. The average pet owner spends more than USD 700 on their pet's health care each year. In 2022, Americans spent USD 136.8 billion on their pets, up 10.68% from 2021 (USD 123.6 billion).

Veterinary Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Restraint

In veterinary active pharmaceutical ingredients market the cost of veterinary medications can be substantial, making them unaffordable for some pet owners. A course of therapy for a common skin illness in dogs, for example, might cost between USD 50- 100. 

The veterinary API regulatory environment is getting increasingly stringent, raising the cost of compliance and making it more difficult for new companies to enter the market.

Based on synthesis type, the veterinary active pharmaceutical ingredients market is segmented into chemical-based API, biological API, and highly potent API (HPAPI). Chemical-based API segment held a major market share of 57.4% in 2022. Chemicals in their active form are used for the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that produces the intended effect. Chemical based APIs have pharmacological activity mainly used with combination of other ingredients to diagnose, cure, mitigate, and treat veterinary diseases. Chemicals acts as a base to convert raw materials into API thereby potentially creating a sustainable healthcare system and influencing product innovation.

Based on contract outsourcing type, the veterinary active pharmaceutical ingredients market is segmented into contract outsourcing and inhouse. Contract manufacturing segment held a majority market share in 2022 and is forecasted to grow at 7.4% CAGR by 2023. This robust expansion rate is owing to increasing preference for outsourcing manufacturing process of APIs and drugs to reduce the operational cost of the company.

The contract manufacturing segment is further sub segmented into contract development and contract manufacturing. Increasing demand for veterinary APIs has influenced the service providers including contract manufacturing and contract development. Moreover, outsourcing will continue to grow as it significantly lowers the cost of R&D expense and in-turn, increase the profit margin for the company.

Based on animal type, the veterinary active pharmaceutical ingredients market is segmented into companion animals and livestock. The companion animals segment held a significant market share in the veterinary active pharmaceutical ingredients accounting for USD 4,139.1 million in 2022. The rising pet ownership rates have led to a larger customer base for veterinary products, including APIs.

The humanization of pets, where they are treated as members of the family, has driven pet owners to seek higher standards of care. This cultural shift translates into higher demand for advanced treatments, further contributing to the prominence of companion animals in the veterinary API market.
