European Veterinary Healthcare Market Outlook

Animal health is increasingly recognized as a strategic priority for animal welfare, public health, food security, and economic resilience. The Food and Agriculture Organization highlights the role of healthy livestock in sustainable food systems, supporting the adoption of veterinary pharmaceuticals and vaccines for diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease, brucellosis, and avian influenza.

International organizations, including the World Health Organization and the World Organisation for Animal Health, continue to promote vaccination and coordinated disease control. The WHO Global Strategic Plan targets the elimination of human deaths from dog-mediated rabies by 2030, supporting large-scale vaccine programs and stronger collaboration among public health authorities, veterinary professionals, and animal welfare organizations.

Digital platforms, social media, and public awareness campaigns are also improving access to animal health information. Greater awareness of preventable diseases, including rabies and leptospirosis, is encouraging pet owners, livestock producers, and farmers to adopt veterinary pharmaceuticals, diagnostic tools, vaccines, and medical devices.

Industry collaboration and funding are accelerating the development and distribution of vaccines and diagnostics. Health for Animals launched its Roadmap to Reducing the Need for Antibiotics program in 2019, setting targets for 71 new vaccines and 28 diagnostic tools by 2025 while promoting responsible animal health practices.

Germany Leads the Regional Market

Germany held the largest share of the European veterinary healthcare market in 2024. Its substantial pork, beef, and poultry industries support domestic consumption and exports, creating consistent demand for disease prevention, vaccination, diagnostics, and veterinary treatment. Poultry consumption reached approximately 1.678 million tonnes in 2023, reinforcing the need for high-quality, disease-free meat and compliance with food safety requirements.

In January 2025, Brandenburg announced the activation of its FMD vaccine bank, enabling livestock vaccines to be produced within one week when required. The initiative demonstrates Germany's proactive approach to livestock protection and infectious disease preparedness.
