The need for animal-based food items, including meat, milk, and eggs, is constantly increasing in Germany, which is largely responsible for the development of the animal health industry. People are paying greater attention to the quality, safety, and sustainability of food items, and as a result, there is a rise in the demand for healthier and disease-free animals. This is encouraging farmers and producers to implement superior veterinary care and preventive practices for ensuring high-quality production. As foodborne disease concerns, antibiotic resistance, and animal well-being are growing, the need for efficient vaccines, medicines, and diagnostic products is continuously on the rise. Industrialized livestock operations, coupled with the rising demand for organic and ethically produced animal foods, are facilitating the implementation of new animal health solutions for sustainability while answering changing demands. The market is also reacting to regulatory pressures that aim at ensuring the safety of animal foods.

Increasing concern about animal welfare and health

The constant rise in awareness about animal welfare and health is supporting the Germany animal health market growth. With the public increasingly becoming aware of the way animals are raised and treated, both individuals and farmers are demanding higher-quality animal health management. Increasing awareness is compelling improved veterinary treatment and care, as well as the uptake of sophisticated treatments, supplements, and diagnostic equipment to maintain animals' health in general. More veterinary clinics and animal husbandry farms are spending money on technologies and methods that track the health of animals and prevent diseases. With advancements concerning zoonotic disease threats, such as avian flu or bovine tuberculosis, putting more focus on disease prevention and control. This increased emphasis on animal well-being is facilitating the innovation and market creation of new products that enhance health outcomes for a range of animals, such as companion animals, livestock, and poultry.

Improvements in veterinary technology and innovation

The swift transformation of diagnostic equipment, treatment, and data-driven technologies is considerably enhancing the productivity of animal care and disease prevention. Developing technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and precision medicine are used for more accurate diagnosis and treatment of animal diseases. The use of wearable livestock devices is also making it possible to monitor animal health and behavior in real-time, minimizing the chances of disease outbreaks as well as enhancing overall productivity. In addition, advancements in biologics, including vaccines and monoclonal antibodies, are making treatment more targeted and effective. With animal health firms continuing to spend on research and development (R&D), the market is witnessing the launch of next-gen solutions that tackle existing as well as emerging challenges in animal care and continue to fuel long-term growth in the industry. In 2025, TeamVet Beteiligungs GmbH, a German veterinary buy-and-build platform concentrating on equine care while also catering to companion animals, has effectively refinanced its current liabilities and obtained extra acquisition facilities to bolster its remarkable buy-and-build strategy.
