Key Market Drivers

Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is a significant factor propelling the growth of the global animal model market. Chronic diseases, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and neurological disorders, have reached epidemic proportions worldwide, imposing a substantial burden on healthcare systems and economies. In response to this health crisis, there is an ever-increasing demand for effective treatments and therapies. Animal models are at the forefront of preclinical research, providing a vital tool for understanding disease mechanisms and testing potential interventions.

According to WHO, Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) killed at least 43 million people in 2021, equivalent to 75% of non-pandemic-related deaths globally. In 2021, 18 million people died from an NCD before age 70 years; 82% of these premature deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Cardiovascular diseases account for most NCD deaths, or at least 19 million deaths in 2021, followed by cancers (10 million), chronic respiratory diseases (4 million), and diabetes (over 2 million including kidney disease deaths caused by diabetes).

Animal models serve as invaluable surrogates for human physiology, offering a means to simulate the complexities of chronic diseases and study their progression. Researchers can replicate the pathophysiological processes within animals, allowing for the investigation of disease etiology, drug efficacy, and safety profiles. This capability significantly reduces the inherent risks of advancing unproven therapies directly to human clinical trials.

Moreover, the use of animal models enables researchers to explore novel therapeutic avenues, develop innovative drug candidates, and fine-tune treatment regimens. By replicating the pathological conditions of chronic diseases in animal subjects, scientists can gain insights into potential therapeutic targets and mechanisms that would be challenging to investigate in any other way.

Key Market Challenges

Development of Ethical Concerns and Animal Welfare

The global animal model market, a linchpin of biomedical research and drug development, faces a formidable challenge from the escalating ethical concerns surrounding animal welfare. As society becomes increasingly conscious of the moral implications of using animals in research, these concerns have the potential to hinder the growth and evolution of the animal model market.

One of the central challenges is the ethical dilemma associated with animal experimentation. Many individuals, animal welfare organizations, and advocacy groups contend that the use of animals in research raises serious ethical questions regarding the treatment and suffering of sentient beings. The debate over the morality of using animals for scientific experiments has led to increasing calls for more stringent regulations and the development of alternative methods that do not involve animals.

As ethical concerns grow, there is greater scrutiny of animal welfare in research settings. Researchers are under increasing pressure to improve animal care, reduce suffering, and minimize the use of animals whenever possible. This, in turn, has raised the bar for standards and practices in the field, leading to more rigorous requirements for housing, enrichment, and veterinary care of research animals. These higher standards often translate into additional costs for research institutions and organizations.

Key Market Trends

Advancements in Non-Rodent Models

Advancements in non-rodent models are emerging as a significant driver behind the growth of the global animal model market. While rodents, particularly mice and rats, have traditionally been the primary subjects of animal research, there is a growing trend towards diversification as researchers seek more physiologically relevant models that closely mimic human biology. Non-human primates, pigs, dogs, and other species are becoming increasingly valuable in various research applications, driving the market's expansion and adaptability.

Non-rodent animal models offer several advantages. They provide a closer approximation of human physiology, making them crucial for translational research where the goal is to bridge the gap between preclinical studies and human clinical trials. For example, non-human primates share a closer genetic and physiological resemblance to humans, making them invaluable in the development of therapies for diseases with complex genetic and immunological components.
