Veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing serves as a crucial tool for veterinarians to select the most effective drugs for treating bacterial infections in animals. It aids in providing a comprehensive treatment history, encompassing prior antibiotic usage and relevant clinical background that could impact the animal's typical bacterial flora.
The primary product categories within veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing comprise disks and plates, culture media, accessories and consumables, and automated AST (antimicrobial susceptibility test) instruments. Disks and plates, small circular filter paper pieces soaked in antibiotic solutions and dried, are utilized to determine the antibiotics to which an infectious organism is susceptible. This information allows healthcare professionals to administer the appropriate medication. This testing is conducted on both livestock and companion animals, carried out in veterinary reference laboratories, veterinary research institutes, and other related facilities.
The veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing market statistics, including veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing market share, detailed veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing industry. This veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $37.12 billion in 2024 to $39.71 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to environmental concerns, precision medicine demand, one health approach, consumer awareness, companion animal healthcare growth.
The veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $53.96 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to antibiotic resistance mitigation, regulatory requirements, global health events impact, rising pet ownership. Major trends in the forecast period include innovative solutions, regulatory emphasis, zoonotic disease control, livestock industry standards.
The growth of the veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing market is anticipated to be propelled by the increasing prevalence of zoonotic diseases. Zoonotic diseases, which can be transmitted between different species, including from humans to animals, create a demand for testing to determine the most effective animal medication. Veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing plays a crucial role in selecting the optimal drug for treating bacterial infections in animals by considering treatment history and other factors. According to a July 2022 article published by the World Health Organization, there was a 64% increase in zoonotic cases in Africa. The global rise in zoonotic diseases, with 816 zoonotic pathogens out of 1407 human pathogens, emphasizes the need for effective veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing to address these emerging infectious diseases. This escalating prevalence of zoonotic diseases is a key driver for the growth of the veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing market.
The surge in pet ownership is another factor expected to drive the veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing market. Pet ownership involves caring for domesticated animals as companions or family members, and responsible pet owners prioritize the health and well-being of their animals. Veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing becomes crucial in ensuring the health of companion animals, as pet owners seek veterinary assistance when their pets show signs of illness or infection. With approximately 70% of households in the US owning pets in 2022, totaling around 90.5 million homes, according to an April 2022 article by Lemonade Inc., the increase in pet ownership contributes significantly to the demand for veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing. This trend reflects a growing focus on animal welfare and health.
Technological advancements have become a prominent trend in the veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing market. Major companies within this sector are focusing on developing new technologies to maintain their market position. Recently, the industry has seen the adoption of advanced imaging techniques and algorithms that provide more accurate, reliable, and rapid veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). For example, in March 2022, bioMerieux, a France-based biotechnology company, obtained FDA 510(k) clearance for its new VITEK MS PRIME, a mass spectrometry identification system of the MALDI-TOF type. Following this clearance, the system became commercially available in countries that recognize CE-marking, as well as in the United States. It offers rapid and precise pathogen identification, facilitating quicker and more targeted antimicrobial therapy.
Prominent companies in the veterinary antimicrobial susceptibility testing market are actively introducing innovative products, particularly rapid tests, as part of their strategy to maintain a competitive edge. Rapid tests, also known as rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) or rapid assays, are diagnostic procedures designed to provide quick results within a short timeframe. In March 2023, PDX Biotech LLC, a US-based biotechnology company, launched the OraStripdx, a rapid test capable of detecting active periodontal disease in dogs and cats within 10 seconds. The OraStripdx features an easy-to-use test strip that undergoes color changes based on the concentration of thiols in the patient's oral fluid. Significantly, this test requires no anesthesia or sedation, providing a user-friendly approach to disease detection. The OraStripdx test strip plays a crucial role in detecting the development of disease that may not be directly visible, enabling pet owners and healthcare providers to identify diseases in their earliest stages. This rapid testing capability presents a major advantage in proactive disease management for pets.
In May 2022, bioMerieux, a France-based multinational biotechnology company, executed the acquisition of Specific Diagnostics for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move is anticipated to fortify bioMerieux's efforts against antimicrobial resistance, enhance its leading position in clinical microbiology, and further extend its global leadership in this field. Specific Diagnostics, a US-based company, specializes in the development of a rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) system. This acquisition aligns with bioMerieux's commitment to addressing antimicrobial resistance challenges and expands its capabilities in clinical microbiology through the incorporation of Specific Diagnostics' rapid AST system into its product portfolio.
