The last-mile connectivity to small and medium-scale livestock farms suffered a setback due to weakness in the distribution channels. Prominent players in the market such as Neogen expect a surge in demand with the market opening up gradually, and thus, capacity-building remains among the major focus areas. Key giants have also embarked on inorganic growth strategies by acquiring regionally prominent disinfectant manufacturers and thereby strengthening their geographical outreach.
