Saudi Arabia Veterinary Healthcare Market Trends:

Rising Government Initiatives

The Saudi Arabian government has undertaken several strategic initiatives to strengthen the veterinary healthcare system, aiming to ensure animal welfare and safeguard public health. Through increased funding and infrastructure development, the government is enhancing the accessibility and quality of veterinary services across urban and rural regions. Programs promoting livestock disease surveillance, vaccination drives, and improved animal husbandry practices are being implemented in collaboration with both local and international stakeholders. Additionally, regulatory reforms have been introduced to streamline the approval process for veterinary pharmaceuticals and encourage private sector investment. The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) is also leading efforts to establish specialized veterinary clinics and mobile health units to serve remote farming communities. For instance, in August 2024, the Riyadh Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture announced the launch of a campaign to enhance animal welfare by inspecting pet facilities. The initiative uncovered violations, including unlicensed operations and inhumane practices. As a result, 130 pets were rescued, and expired medicines were seized, reinforcing the commitment to animal rights in Saudi Arabia. These initiatives reflect Saudi Arabia’s commitment to building a robust veterinary healthcare framework aligned with its broader Vision 2030 goals for sustainable agricultural and animal health development.

Rapid Growth in Livestock Sector

The expansion of commercial livestock farming is a key factor contributing to the Saudi Arabia veterinary healthcare market growth. As the country intensifies efforts to enhance domestic food production and reduce reliance on imports, the livestock sector is witnessing significant investments and modernization. GASTAT's Livestock Statistics Publication 2023 reveals that Saudi Arabia's total raw milk production reached 2.8 billion liters from 234,000 dairy cows. The sheep population was 29.4 million, goats 22 million, and camels 2.2 million. Broiler chicken production surpassed 1.1 million tons, with table egg production at 7.9 billion eggs. This surge in commercial farming has led to increased incidences of animal diseases, thereby creating a higher demand for preventive and therapeutic veterinary solutions. Farmers are increasingly adopting advanced healthcare practices, including regular vaccinations, disease monitoring, and nutritional management, to ensure herd productivity and health. Additionally, government-backed programs promoting livestock development are further encouraging veterinary service utilization. The growing need for high-quality meat, milk, and other animal products has made animal health a priority, directly boosting demand for veterinary pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and services, and fueling the overall Saudi Arabia veterinary healthcare market growth.
