Animal Healthcare Market size crossed USD 150.6 billion in 2022 and is estimated to witness 4.7% CAGR between 2023 and 2032.

In the WHO's Eastern Mediterranean Region, rising zoonoses pose a spreading risk to public health.

Thus, the abovementioned factors are set to propel the global animal healthcare industry growth.
