UAE Animal Health Market Trends:

Government Initiatives and Regulatory Developments

Government policies and changing regulatory conditions are greatly influencing the animal health industry in the UAE. The regulatory agencies regularly implement policies that enhance animal health levels and the safety of animal products. These regulations are promoting compliance with global best practices in veterinary services, animal welfare, and disease control. The government of the UAE is also spending on animal health infrastructure and research, which is making innovative and effective health solutions available. The government's emphasis on disease control, particularly in the backdrop of emerging global health issues, is also propelling demand for vaccines, diagnostic solutions, and treatments to safeguard livestock as well as companion animals. These efforts not only improve animal welfare but also help overall industry growth of the animal health sector through building confidence and penetration of new markets and technologies. In 2024, the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) unveiled its 'One Health' biosecurity initiative, designed to encourage the collaboration of human, animal, plant health, and environmental factors. The initiation of the program aligned with the directives of the wise leadership and the global standards specified in the Joint International Action Plan on the One Health Approach for 2022-2026.

Growing Pet Ownership and Care of Companion Animals

The UAE animal health sector is driven by the increasing pet population trend, with families keeping pets as companions. With urbanization increasing and living standards improving, pet owners are giving greater importance to the well-being and health of their pets. This is leading to an increased demand for veterinary care, pet food, and health products. Pet owners are in pursuit of sophisticated care, preventive medicine, and routine check-ups for their pets, which is contributing to the growth of the animal health industry. Veterinary hospitals and clinics are continually upgrading their facilities and services to accommodate the needs of this growing pet population. As awareness about the significance of animal health grows, so does demand for preventive products like vaccinations, supplements, and diagnostics. These are pushing competition and innovation in the UAE animal health market.

Increased Livestock Farming and Agricultural Operations

The heightened emphasis on food security and self-sufficiency is supporting the UAE animal health market growth. Initiatives aimed at increasing local livestock farming and agricultural activities are placing greater demand for animal health products and services. The government is also heavily investing in new farming methods, which involve enhancing livestock health and productivity using advanced veterinary practices. Farmers are increasingly embracing more efficient animal nutrition, disease control, and management practices to produce quality meat and dairy. This change is also creating the demand for expert veterinary services, vaccines, and drugs for livestock such as cattle, sheep, and poultry. The government's continued backing of sustainable farming practices and the push for biosecurity interventions are keeping the market strong and, in tandem with agricultural innovation, leading to a high demand for animal health solutions. In 2024, the British Veterinary Centre in Abu Dhabi proudly declared a landmark accomplishment in veterinary medicine, as it became the first facility in the MENA region to successfully conduct canine mitral valve repair surgeries in Spring 2024. Guided by a team of esteemed veterinarians and backed by state-of-the-art technology, this achievement represents a major progression in canine heart treatment in the UAE and surrounding regions.
