What are the Major Factors Driving the Growth of the Veterinary Antibiotics Market?

The market for veterinary antibiotics is experiencing robust growth, fueled by the increasing global demand for animal protein, particularly meat and milk. The expansion of livestock production to meet this demand has also led to a greater need for adequate disease prevention and treatment measures. The rising incidence of zoonotic diseases has increased awareness of animal health, motivating both pet owners and commercial livestock farmers to seek veterinary care. Furthermore, advances in veterinary diagnostics and antibiotic formulations are driving overall market expansion.

The growing levels of pet ownership, especially in urban areas, also contribute to the consumption of antibiotics in companion animals.
