South Korea Animal Health Market Trends:

Growing Demand for Livestock Products

Demand for meat, dairy, and other livestock products is growing steadily in South Korea, propelling the market growth. Since people are becoming increasingly health-conscious and looking for high-quality animal food, farmers are working to improve livestock productivity and health. This demand is encouraging producers to implement enhanced veterinary practices such as routine vaccinations, disease testing, and nutritional management. In addition, the government's initiative for encouraging food safety standards is getting livestock owners to invest in preventive healthcare. With the diet of the population still moving towards increased protein intake, livestock producers are reacting by enhancing animal welfare and health performance. These trends are converting into long-term veterinary pharma sales growth, diagnostics, and feed additives. The ongoing drive for quality and productivity in the animal husbandry industry is positioning animal health as a critical component of agricultural activity. The IMARC Group predicts that the South Korea meat market is anticipated to reach USD 49.0 Billion by 2033.

Growing Pet Adoption and Companion Animal Care

Pet adoption is rising in South Korea, generating increasing demand for companion animal care services and products, thereby supporting the South Korea animal health market growth. Urbanization, declining family sizes, and new lifestyles are persuading more families and individuals to keep pets, especially dogs and cats. Such a shift in culture is bringing pets into the family fold, and hence, more focus on their health. Pet parents are specifically looking for preventive healthcare services like regular check-ups, immunizations, and parasite management. Also, fueling veterinary industry growth are the expansion of pet insurance, specialty pet clinics, and high-quality pet food. Furthermore, health awareness programs for pets and online sites are enhancing access to veterinary information, enabling proactive care. As companion animals become a part of everyday life in South Korea, there is a consistent demand for sophisticated veterinary services and pharmaceutical products, thereby driving the market and fostering innovation in pet-centric healthcare solutions. As of December last year, over 15 million individuals in Korea had pets, representing almost 30 percent of the country's total population, as stated in a report published by KB Financial Group.

Government Support and Regulatory Improvements

The government of South Korea is actively promoting the animal health industry through inclusive policies, financing, and regulatory developments designed to improve veterinary infrastructure and biosecurity. Governments are putting in place more robust disease surveillance systems, particularly to address outbreaks like foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and avian influenza that have caused livestock health and trade problems over time. By investing in research, diagnostics, and early response infrastructure, the government is supporting the growth of robust animal health systems. New regulations are making it easier to approve veterinary medicines and vaccines, enabling faster market entry for breakthrough solutions. In addition, public-private collaborations are encouraged to enhance rural veterinary services and promote access to animal healthcare. The government also encourages educational initiatives to enhance the number of qualified veterinarians. These constant regulatory improvements and institutional support mechanisms are establishing a stronger and more transparent animal health environment, which is contributing to the growth of the sector in South Korea. In 2025, South Korea established an ambitious goal to grow its animal medicine sector, targeting a total market worth of $2.7 billion by 2035. The nation aims to reach this expansion by enhancing its research and development initiatives in veterinary medicine, boosting exports, and elevating the overall quality of animal health products.
