Brazil Animal Antimicrobials and Antibiotics Market

Brazil Animal Antimicrobials and Antibiotics Market Overview:

The Brazil animal antimicrobials and antibiotics market size reached USD 16.72 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 23.23 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.45% during 2025-2033. Rising livestock production, increasing disease outbreaks, growing meat consumption, advancements in veterinary healthcare, regulatory policies on animal health, and higher demand for feed efficiency are driving the market growth.

Brazil Animal Antimicrobials and Antibiotics Market Trends:

Rising Demand for Antibiotic Alternatives and Growth Promoters

Growing governmental limits on the use of antibiotics and consumer demand for meat and dairy products free of antibiotics are causing a change in Brazil's animal health sector toward antibiotic substitutes. In order to fight antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, cattle, and Supply (MAPA) has tightened regulations on the use of antibiotics in cattle. This has pushed producers to employ probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, and essential oils as growth boosters. Brazil's cattle industry is growing; by 2025, it is anticipated that 11.81 million metric tons of meat will be produced. Brazilian farmers are using more natural antimicrobial substitutes in order to keep access to international markets as a result of China and the European Union tightening import laws on antibiotic residues in meat. The poultry industry, accounting for 50% of Brazil’s meat exports, is also leading the shift toward non-antibiotic growth promoters (NAGPs). Various poultry farms are integrating probiotic-based feed additives to replace traditional antibiotics. This transition is further supported by investments in feed efficiency technologies, as antibiotic-free feed additives improve gut health and reduce disease incidence.

Expansion of Aquaculture and Increased Use of Antimicrobials in Fish Farming

Extensive expansion in the aquaculture industry is stimulating the market and prompting antimicrobials used for fish as well as shrimp farming in order to alleviate bacterial diseases and boost the yield of the systems. To be more specific, during the period from 2022 to 2023, the output of fish farming reached 887,029 metric tons, having a 3.1% increase. However, the number of tilapias that have increased with the results of these factors has increased percentage-wise, compared to the number of other fishes, around 7.5%. The use of oxytetracycline and florfenicol has always been the best way of dealing with these bacterial infections in fish, especially tilapia farms, which is 65.3% of the total number of farmed fish in Brazil because of climate change and water pollution thus, the disease risk has been increased in aquaculture. The National Program of Aquaculture Development (Programa Nacional de Desenvolvimento da Aquiculture - PNDA), used antibiotics in large-scale fish farming. However, less effective control of White Spot Disease (WSD) and Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) have plagued the northeastern states such as Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará as a result of the increase in antibiotics used in the shrimp farming industry. With the use of antibiotics, shrimp production was still good, and it reached 125,000 metric tons of output in 2023. Finally, state efforts like the National Program of Aquaculture Development (Programa Nacional de Desenvolvimento da Aquiculture - PNDA) seem to be working as huge amounts of fish of all types are bred, and antibiotics are needed ever more often.
