The first veterinary practice came into existence in 9,000 BC in the Middle East. The development of animal healthcare was quite slow until the latter part of the 19^th century. Previously not much emphasis was given to veterinary care. In the early 1900s pets began to receive medical care more commonly. In 1863, the American Veterinary Medical Association came into being to promote veterinary medicine. In 1965, the Food and Drug Administration added a Veterinary Medical Branch to manage animal pharmaceuticals. Later it became the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) that oversees regulations related to medicine, food, and other products for animals.

Growing pet expenditure supported by favorable demographic trends will drive the animal healthcare market growth

It is observed that the animal healthcare industry is quite sensitive to changes in the overall economy. Animal healthcare is also impacted by the level of disposable income, pet ownership, and continued technological changes. Pet adoption for companionship among the elderly population has greatly surged in the past decade. Pets are largely adopted by people for companionship and there has been a significant shift in trend from pet owners to pet parents. As per the European Pet Food Industry data, there were about 75 million pet-owning homes in Europe in 2014. Also, “Pets for Seniors” is an organization in Illinois that matches dogs and cats with elderly people who might need help with the responsibilities of pet ownership. Thus, the growing global population along with a rise in the disposable income acted as a catalyst for the growth of animal healthcare business size.
 

However, mismatch of data management systems often complexes the exchange of knowledge between the policymakers, scientific community, and the animal food production sector. This later might hamper the animal healthcare market growth opportunities. Also, lack of awareness and availability of animal medicines and funding in the emerging market might deter the animal healthcare growth opportunities.
