Animal vaccines are essential to ensure better animal health and welfare. Various vaccines such as attenuated vaccines, subunit vaccines, toxoid vaccines, and DNA vaccines help provide protection against multiple diseases, including rabies and foot & mouth disease. These vaccines offer cost-effective solutions instead of excessive antibiotic administration to treat such diseases.

Increase in adoption of companion animals in the developing countries is the major factor that drives the growth of this market. The market has witnessed moderate growth in recent years due to emerging diseases that affect livestock. The outbreak of epidemics results in severe mass wipeouts of animals, and is a growing concern for the industries dependent on products obtained through farm animals. Moreover, zoonotic diseases that affect animals pose a threat to the public health, hence avoiding transmission of such diseases via vaccination is a significant factor in disease management.
