Rising incidence of rabies is a key driver of the market. According to the World Organization of Animal Health (WOAH), rabies claims approximately 59,000 lives annually, with 99% of cases resulting from dog bites. This viral infection, which primarily affects mammals including domestic animals like dogs and cats, has an almost 100% fatality rate once clinical symptoms manifest. The alarming mortality rate has prompted global efforts to control and prevent rabies, leading to widespread vaccination programs.
In 2023, the CDC reported that over one million dogs were vaccinated against rabies worldwide, and more than 25,000 rabid animals were investigated as part of control measures. This heightened awareness of rabies transmission from animals to humans, especially in regions with high stray animal populations and limited vaccine access, has driven a surge in demand for effective veterinary rabies vaccines.
Governments and animal health organizations are also intensifying their vaccination campaigns, further propelling the market's growth. Consequently, the market is expected to expand, with increased investments in research and development to enhance vaccine efficacy and coverage.
