The Global Veterinary Pain Management Market size is expected to reach $2.5 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 6.2% CAGR during the forecast period.
Obesity is the primary cause of joint issues in dogs, and it can also contribute to other orthopedic problems like hip dysplasia and arthritis pain. Thus, the Companion segment will register a 2/5th share of the market by 2030. Due to the additional pressure on bones, obesity in pet companions can cause various diseases of the bones and joints. In fatty and overweight animals, arthritis and ligament rips are prevalent and more severe. Compared to adult dogs, puppies are quite more prone to fractures. Additionally, the owner's capacity to spend on their pet's orthopedic operation and growing pet care awareness are fostering the market's expansion. Some of the factors impacting the market are increasing public concern for animal health and welfare, humanization trend and rising pet ownership, and legal issues in pain management.
The demand for these products has increased as a result of the increasing efforts taken by various governments in different areas. In the UK, pertinent cattle health and welfare issues tend to be resolved through the Cow Health and Welfare Group (CHAWG). The CHAWG is the first contact for inquiries relating to the welfare, health, and disease concerns currently impacting cattle. The makeup of CHAWG was a highly beneficial resource for the market because it offered a broad and in-depth range of information about cattle health and welfare. Therefore, this market is being driven by a rising number of initiatives undertaken by major businesses and government agencies. Globally, pet ownership is on the rise, especially in millennial households, inclined to be smaller families with children raised later in life. Pet lovers benefit the business and are anticipated to significantly contribute to market expansion during the forecast period. Many businesses are striving to provide superior pet care products in response to the rising demand for luxury pet products worldwide to acquire a significant share of the market. Given these factors, it is projected that as pet ownership and the humanization phenomenon increase, this will impact the market.
However, there are several ethical and practical issues in treating farm animals' pain. The conflicting needs of society as a whole and animals are apparent in a legal sense. Legislative frameworks for the administration of analgesic drugs to these animals need to consider various factors, such as the risk of abuse if powerful controlled analgesic drugs, like narcotics, are not properly stored and accounted for. Thus, the legal issues surrounding pain management could have a negative effect on the market's expansion in the coming years.
