What are the key drivers and challenges shaping the Poultry Health Market?

Will rising global poultry consumption boost demand for health solutions?

The global poultry demand, in both demand for poultry meat and poultry eggs, particularly in the developing economies, continues to have an immense impact on the Poultry Health Market. Due to its cheap production costs and reduced production time compared to other livestock, poultry has been a great source of protein. According to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook, global poultry meat consumption will increase by more than 15 percent in 2030. The consequence of such an increase in consumption is a first-hand effect on the necessity of disease prevention, vaccination, and the quality of feeds. As poultry farming of high-density is on the increase, so has the vulnerability to infectious diseases. The resultant effect of this situation has been the high demand for health solutions comprising vaccines, antibiotics, and diagnostics.

Additionally, the standards of safe and disease-free meat required by consumers have been getting stricter, a factor that has encouraged farmers to devote greater funds to poultry healthcare. Product innovations and improved health management systems are consequently experiencing a rise in the Poultry Health Market, as this is how it keeps flock health. Both large producers and small peers are becoming conscious of the impact disease outbreaks cause in economic terms. Improved biosecurity measures and prevention health policy are also in place. Stronger welfare and health standards for poultry are also encouraged by government programs and food safety policies.

Can increasing zoonotic disease outbreaks fuel preventive healthcare investments?

The rising occurrences of zoonotic diseases, i.e., transmission between animals and human beings, are one of the effective drivers of the Poultry Health Market. Epidemics like Avian Influenza and Salmonella have created extreme concern for world health and led to huge losses in poultry farming. This has advanced the need to concentrate more on early diagnosis, vaccinations, and monitoring the health of poultry. Since poultry is one of the leading potential carriers of zoonotic pathogens, nations are completing their surveillance and disease control initiatives. Even international organizations such as the WHO and FAO specifically emphasized the need to contain zoonotic diseases at the animal level, creating further recognition of this shift towards the investment in preventive health care.

Those investing in the Poultry Health Market are starting to fund and collaborate more in the eradication of diseases as well as biosecurity initiatives. Producers of livestock have now been committing more of their budget to poultry health products to reduce risks. The requirement of regular vaccination and traceability systems is also gaining momentum in the government. With the One Health approach, which focuses on interconnectedness among animal, human, and environmental health, the call for strong solutions to poultry health issues is likely to increase. The industry is getting standardized with real-time disease tracking, genome-based diagnostics, and preventive treatment protocols.

Are high R&D costs limiting product development for poultry health?

The high cost of expensive research and development (R&D) in the development of effective animal health products is also one of the main inhibiting factors of the Poultry Health Market. The modalities of developing a vaccine, diagnostic, or therapeutic are extensive stages of testing and clinical trials, regulatory approvals, which are costly and lengthy. Compliance with the requirements of approval of veterinary drugs may be prohibitive, particularly for small and mid-size players. Moreover, the profits earned through such poultry-specific drugs might not be able to recuperate the R&D investment, especially in low-income markets where the farmers would not have much purchasing power. This economic constraint inhibits innovation and the introduction of new products and improved poultry health products.

This has led to the situation whereby, even to this day, certain areas still use outdated or less efficient methods of care. Besides, the specifics of regulatory frameworks applied in different countries may contribute to making development challenging. In the case of the Poultry Health Market, it will mean less penetration of the next-generation solution into the market, e.g., recombinant vaccines or integration of AI with diagnostic tools. The large organizations might continue to afford innovation, but the smaller ones are confronted with very big challenges, such that there is consolidation in the market. Inability to find cost-effective, good-quality solutions in specific geographies also worsens the poultry health situation. In such a way, uneven and large costs of R&D still do not allow for the support of equal and massive development of this segment.

Can AI-driven disease tracking revolutionize poultry health management systems?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be an eye-opener to disease surveillance and change the face of the Poultry Health Market. Systems powered by AI can process sensor, camera, and farm records to identify the signs of a potential disease or stress in the poultry population in their early stages. The tools allow making decisions in real-time; thus, the time to respond to the outbreak is minimized, avoiding massive losses. Predictive analytics is able to detect disease trends and assist in prompt vaccination or feed change to enhance the overall productivity and flock health. The commercial farms will be a significant beneficiary of such a digital transformation in the Poultry Health Market in large-scale commercial farms. 

Early adopters also observe better welfare in the animals and fewer deaths, as well as cost savings due to fewer treatments and feeding expenses. Smaller farmers are also getting access to these tools powered by cloud-based platforms and mobile applications. This would not only guarantee improvement in control of the diseases, but also in terms of traceability and adherence to the food safety standards. Firms are currently collaborating with technology companies to come up with a holistic health-related monitoring system that is poultry-friendly. Therefore, the AI will be positioned as one of the pillars of sustainable poultry ecosystems and health optimization in the future.

Will antibiotic-free poultry production trends create growth in feed additives?

The world's tendency to produce poultry without antibiotics is creating profitable prospects in the Poultry Health Market, especially in its feed additives niche. Both the regulators and consumers are becoming concerned about antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and this has led to the introduction of limitations on the use of antibiotics in animal rearing. The trend is forcing poultry producers to find natural, affordable, and effective ways of preventing diseases and more economic ways of enhancing their growth. Sustainable health solutions products such as probiotics and prebiotics, enzymes, and essential oils are becoming popular. Such additives to enhance immunity, gut health, and nutrient absorption are now experiencing more R&D and commercialization in the Poultry Health Market.

Using these feed-based interventions enables one to retain the level of performance without any form of sacrifice to the well-being of the animal. Leading poultry producers such as the EU and North America have already started to enact strict bans or restrictions on the use of antibiotics, forcing the use of feed additives. This has established a competitive but optimistic environment for the companies that provide solutions for antibiotic-free products. Further, this trend is also being enhanced by the increased liking of consumers toward organic and clean-label poultry products. As people are increasingly becoming conscious about food safety and transparency, there is likely to be an upsurge in demand for non-antibiotic poultry health products.

What are the key market segments in the Poultry Health industry?

Based on the Product Type, the Poultry Health Market has been classified into Vaccines, Parasiticides, Antimicrobials, Feed Additives, Diagnostics, Disinfectants, and Others.  Vaccines are the most prevalent in the market owing to the increasing awareness of avian illnesses and the worldwide pressure on preventative care.
