    Market Dynamics

    Introduction

    Equine healthcare refers to the medical care and management of horses, focusing on their overall health, disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and wellness. It encompasses a wide range of services, including regular veterinary check-ups, vaccinations, dental care, parasite control, nutrition, and injury management. Equine healthcare aims to maintain optimal health and performance, prevent illness, and provide timely treatment for conditions such as colic, lameness, respiratory issues, and infectious diseases, ensuring the well-being and longevity of horses.

    Market Drivers

    Increasing costs for equine healthcare, market stakeholder activities, expenditure in the horse racing and sports business, and an increase in the frequency of equine diseases are some of the primary reasons driving industry growth. According to the OIE, there will be numerous cases of diseases such as equine influenza, equine infectious anaemia, rabies, West Nile fever, and Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis in 2021. This is projected to increase demand for effective preventive and treatment measures.

    Riding classes and trail rides on horses are popular recreational activities. For example, in Minnesota, the United States, more than 10% of families participate in trail riding, while 8% take riding lessons. These activities have an impact on the amount of money spent on horse care, equipment, and activity fees. Thus, recreation generates an additional USD 341 million in economic value and 7,181 employees in Minnesota. Horses have been domesticated for a long time, and they have gradually adapted to changing human lifestyles. Sports are considered to interest 75% of people worldwide, including approximately 85% of people in Germany.

    Furthermore, the availability of equine pharmaceutical and diagnostic items, as well as the presence of large veterinary facilities, boosts market growth. The Philip Leverhulme Equine Hospital at the University of Liverpool in North West England, for example, provides cutting-edge radiography that produces 3D scans of bone and soft tissue. The new CT system is unusual in that it is the only medical-grade, big-diameter sliding rack system available in England for large animal patients. CT scanning has two distinct applications: planning reconstructive surgery and recognizing head disorders such as head shaking, dental difficulties, sinus disease, and head trauma.

    Several investments/guidelines in the industry have been directed in recent years, which would boost the overall market:

    • Government initiatives and public and private sector players are also helping to drive market expansion. The Chairman of the Dubai Equestrian Club and Dubai Racing Club announced new measures in October 2021 through the Dubai Equestrian Procurement Forum to boost Dubai's position as a regional center for the horse racing business. As the equestrian sector recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic, the form highlighted new prospects for industry participants such as manufacturers, technology providers, and suppliers. The market will expand throughout the forecast period due to increased knowledge about animal healthcare. Animal health is critical for the safety and well-being of both animals and humans, as people become increasingly conscious of the value of animals in the ecosystem. Because diseases can be easily transmitted from animals to people, governments and commercial entities are investing in developing animal healthcare infrastructure in numerous countries. For example, the US Department of Agriculture will invest $3 billion in September 2021 in animal health and nutrition.

    Recent Developments

    The equine healthcare industry is fiercely competitive. Key companies and industry stakeholders are implementing strategic activities such as portfolio expansion, product launches and upgrades, alliances, regional expansion, and mergers and acquisitions.

    For example,

    • In September 2022, Zoetis will acquire NewMetrica. This acquisition will contribute to the company's companion animal portfolio expansion by introducing health-related quality of life devices.
    • In April 2022, Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH will debut renuTend, a novel stem cell therapy to promote the recovery of tendon and suspensory ligament injuries in horses.

    COVID-19 Impact

    The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on industry growth. Participants in the global equestrian business faced a variety of constraints. Some governments forced the closure of equestrian facilities, leaving these operations with considerable ongoing costs and no source of cash.

    Furthermore, as the pandemic developed, horse veterinary practitioners were obliged to adopt telehealth-based practice paradigms. The sector also saw increased unemployment rates, raising concerns about a potential horse welfare catastrophe. However, these were only short-term effects, and the market gradually recovered.
