The top firms in animal health are a mix of independent businesses focused solely on veterinary medicine (Zoetis, Elanco and Ceva) and divisions of human pharma companies (Boehringer, Merck and Bayer). These companies sell drugs, vaccines and diagnostics for food-producing animals and pets. These companies tend to enjoy mid-single-digit organic growth each year.Key facts about the global animal health companies' market

Key themes affecting animal health companies
Animal health companies are currently experiencing high growth in the companion animal sector. The ‘humanization’ of pets has seen consumers become more concerned with the health of their pets, demanding improved medicines for their cats and dogs. In the livestock sector, sales are not currently as buoyant as companies are currently transitioning away from selling antibiotics. The whole industry is investing in developing more preventative technologies such as vaccines or diagnostics.
