The global ruminant vaccines market size is estimated to reach USD 7.02 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is driven by the increasing demand for animal protein, the prevalence of infectious diseases in ruminants, the rising livestock trade, and R&D advancements. In December 2022, Virbac, a key market player, expanded its capabilities with the inauguration of a new R&D center in Taiwan, in response to the growing demand for veterinary vaccines. This has enabled the company to develop innovative solutions and immune stimulants and/or enhance existing products on a domestic, regional, and global level.
The COVID-19 pandemic notably impacted the market for ruminant vaccines. This included disruptions in the supply chain, reduced access to veterinary services, impact on trade and exports, and economic constraints on farmers. For example, in 2020, Indian Immunologicals Ltd reported decreased trade, exports, and institutional businesses due to the pandemic. Despite this, the company continued to be the largest supplier of FMD vaccines in India. Furthermore, the economic slowdown of 2022 also significantly affected the market. Merck & Co., Inc. for instance, reported that livestock product sales were practically flat in 2022. This was attributed to the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange.
Support from governments, regulatory authorities, and animal health organizations drives the adoption of ruminant vaccines. All these institutions worldwide have recognized the importance of preventing and controlling animal diseases. They have implemented various initiatives and regulations to promote the use of vaccines in the ruminant sector. These initiatives include awareness campaigns, vaccination programs, and subsidies or incentives for farmers to vaccinate their animals. For instance, the World Organization for Animal Health manages vaccine banks to ensure the procurement of high-quality vaccines, facilitate economies of scale, and contribute to harmonizing global and regional control programs. As of January 2023, the organization manages 2 active vaccine banks focusing on peste des petits ruminants (PPR) and rabies.
