Based on synthesis, the biological API segment held more than USD 10.7 billion revenue share in 2022 and will grow robustly over the next ten years. The segmental expansion can be credited to the growing demand for biologically active substances which are used to diagnose and treat various health issues among animals. Besides, there is a rise in the number of diseases in the therapeutic category, which will drive segmental expansion.
On the basis of contract outsourcing, the CDMO segment will grow significantly through 2023-2032, owing to the benefits and advantages offered by them to the veterinary APIs, resulting in their increasing adoption.
In the context of the drug, the prescription segment will grow significantly between 2023 and 2032. The growth of this segment is anticipated to be driven by the surging usage of a range of prescribed medications and therapeutics including anti-infectives, NSAIDs, antibiotics, and vaccines, to treat severe ailments.
In the regional context, the global veterinary active pharmaceutical ingredients market will grow significantly in North America, due to the growing prevalence of zoonotic diseases and a favorable State-backed regulatory scenario.
