Veterinary Vaccines Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016 - 2024 The global veterinary vaccines market is highly consolidated, with the top five vendors accounting for a share of nearly 65% in the overall market in 2015, reports TMR in a new study. Zoetis, Inc., Merck & Co., and Sanofi Aventis, the top three companies in the market collectively held a share of more than 45% of the overall market in the same year. Targeted in-licensing and acquisitions, expansion of global manufacturing and supply capacities, and increased investments towards research and development activities are some of the key strategies adopted by leading vendors in the market. A recent instance is the strategic alliance of Sanofi with Boehringer Ingelheim in June 2016. Under this alliance, an exchange of Boehringer Ingelheim’s consumer healthcare (CHC) unit with Sanofi’s animal health business took place. In the past few years, factors such as globalization and intense changes in global climate have led to a vast rise in the prevalence of zoonotic diseases globally. To prevent the huge loss of livestock and potential threat to human lives that global outbreaks of several zoonotic diseases cause, there has been a surge in government initiatives aimed at mandating vaccination for companion and farm animals. Active efforts are also undertaken by government and non-government bodies to increase awareness among pet and livestock owners about rampant and hazardous animal diseases, their symptoms, and medication.
