Europe Aquatic Veterinary Market Size, Share, And Forecast, 2021 - 2031 Seafood Demand And Sustainable Aquaculture Drive Growth To US$ 557.5 Million By 2031

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Companies target growth through expansion, product innovation, mergers and acquisitions, vaccine R&D and smarter farming, supported by rising seafood demand.

Dublin, Nov. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Europe Aquatic Veterinary Market Size and Forecast (2021 - 2031)" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Europe aquatic veterinary market is projected to reach US$ 557.5 million by 2031, rising from US$ 439.0 million in 2024 and recording a CAGR of 3.5% from 2025 to 2031, according to the report.

Market growth is being supported by increasing seafood consumption, expansion of aquaculture production, heightened awareness of aquatic animal health, and continued investment in fish vaccines and advanced diagnostic technologies. The UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and other European countries are strengthening disease prevention and treatment capabilities to improve aquaculture productivity and product quality.

Market Growth Drivers

Europe's aquaculture industry continues to expand as demand rises for fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquatic species. Producers are increasingly adopting veterinary products and services to control bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases, reduce production losses, and maintain sustainable farming conditions. Vaccines, medications, supplements, molecular diagnostic technologies, and water-based treatments are playing an important role in supporting aquatic animal health.

Regulatory developments are also shaping the Europe aquatic veterinary market. In April 2021, the European Union introduced animal health regulations designed to modernize aquatic animal health management. EU member states are required to develop multi-year plans supporting sustainable aquaculture, reduced antibiotic use, improved farming practices, and stronger preparedness for climate-related health risks and emerging diseases.

Growing seafood production is creating additional demand for veterinary diagnostics, preventive care, nutritional products, and disease management solutions. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development projects global fish production will reach 200 million metric tons by 2029, with approximately 90% intended for human consumption. This outlook highlights the need for reliable aquatic veterinary services that protect animal health and support consistent food production.

Market Segmentation Highlights

• Type: The market is divided into diagnostics and treatment. Treatment held the leading share in 2024.
• Diagnostic Type: Categories include serological testing, molecular diagnosis, DNA sequencing, and other methods. Molecular diagnosis dominated the market in 2024.
• Treatment Type: Vaccines, medications, and supplements form the primary categories, with medications accounting for the largest share in 2024.
• Species: The market covers fish, crustaceans, Mollusca, and other aquatic species. Fish represented the predominant segment in 2024.
• Disease Source: Bacterial, viral, parasitic, and other disease sources are included, with bacterial diseases holding the most significant share in 2024.
• Route of Administration: Water Medication, Medicated Feed, and other delivery methods are assessed. Water Medication led the market in 2024.

Germany Leads the Regional Market

Germany held the largest share of the Europe aquatic veterinary market in 2024, supported by an established aquaculture sector, rising fish and mussel production, and growing attention to animal health during cultivation. German aquaculture businesses produce species including rainbow trout, common carp, and mussels.

In 2021, approximately 2,200 aquaculture enterprises in Germany produced about 18,300 metric tons of fish. Mussel production increased by 5.8% to approximately 14,300 metric tons during the same year. These production levels are increasing demand for disease diagnostics, medications, vaccines, supplements, and veterinary expertise.

Research partnerships are expected to support further market development. In January 2022, the German Society for Marine Aquaculture and the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Individualized and Cell-Based Medical Engineering launched a collaborative initiative focused on improving aquaculture practices and advancing innovative technologies.

Competitive Landscape

Leading companies operating in the Europe aquatic veterinary market include Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Merck KGaA, Zoetis Inc., Virbac SA, Phibro Animal Health Corp., HIPRA SA, Indian Immunologicals Ltd., Esox Biologics Ltd., Ceva Polchem Pvt Ltd., and Aquatic Diagnostics Ltd.
