The Global Brucellosis Vaccines Market size is estimated at USD 257.35 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 347.65 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.20% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Brucellosis is one of the most widespread zoonoses transmitted by animals, and in endemic areas, human brucellosis has serious public health consequences. The expansion of animal industries and urbanization and the lack of hygienic measures in animal husbandry and food handling partly account for brucellosis remaining a public health hazard. For instance, in September 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated the global incidence of brucellosis was 2.1 million. In November 2023, another study was published in Frontiers in Microbiology, which reported that human brucellosis was more prevalent in the age group of 30 to 69 years old in China. Thus, the demand for brucellosis vaccines is expected to increase during the forecast period. However, this number is likely underestimated, as brucellosis cases are underreported and often misdiagnosed because of nonspecific symptoms, lack of understanding among doctors, and insufficient diagnostic laboratory capability.
B. melitensis is the most frequently reported cause of human illnesses worldwide, while the most widespread potential source of infection is B. abortus. Hence, the increasing prevalence of the disease is expected to increase the demand for a vaccine, thereby fueling the market’s growth during the forecast period.
Various government and non-government organizations' initiatives to raise awareness about animal diseases, health, and protection are expected to propel the growth of the market studied during the forecast period. The governments of different nations are introducing plans and guidelines for animal welfare. For instance, in October 2022, the UK Research and Innovation was funded with USD 2.5 million by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRS) for research projects to develop intervention strategies for combating endemic and infectious diseases and improving animal health. Such initiatives raise awareness about animal health and, thus, boost the market's growth. Furthermore, in November 2023, the Animal Welfare Task Group in Australia developed animal welfare standards and guidelines for cattle and sheep. The National Livestock Identification System (NLIS), an electronic identification system in which each animal is tagged with a radiofrequency identification device, has been developed for cattle.
Thus, the market studied is expected to witness growth during the forecast period due to the abovementioned factors. However, stringent animal vaccine regulation may hinder the market’s growth.
Most players are based in developing countries due to the presence of large animal bases and agricultural environments. The market is partially fragmented, which makes it moderately competitive. Some companies currently dominating the market are Merck & Co. Inc., Ceva, CZ Vaccines, Laboratories Tornel, and Hester Biosciences Limited.
