SUMMARY

US demand to top $8 billion in 2006

Demand for animal health chemicals in the US is forecast to advance fourpercent per year to more than $8 billion in 2006, supported by the continuingemergence and threat of animal disease, changes in animal production practices,new product introductions and ongoing food safety concerns. Animal healthchemicals will also benefit from growth in the companion animal population andthe increasing availability of pet insurance.

A tightening regulatory environment (e.g., animal byproduct bans and animalwaste reduction initiatives) will benefit demand for some products such as aminoacids, while negatively impacting others, particularly antibiotics, as Congressand the FDA seek to ban or reduce the use of antibiotics in veterinaryapplications. In addition, the slow FDA veterinary drug approval process willcontinue to hinder demand, as will a growing use and acceptance of alternativehealth practices which do not use traditional chemicals.

Parasiticides, systemic agents to lead gains

Nutritional chemicals, the largest class of animal health products, will seeaboveaverage growth due to interest in improving food animal quality, in aidingdisease prevention and improving waste management. Parasiticides, the secondlargest class of animal health chemicals, will see the fastest gains as a resultof product developments for the companion animal market, such as those aimed attreating more than one pest in a single product, and the increasing availabilityof parasite control products for pet owners through retail outlets and theInternet.

Systemic agents will experience healthy growth as the availability ofpharmaceuticals such as cardiovascular chemicals and diabetes control chemicalsfor companion animals increases. Therapeutic antibiotics will see the slowestgrowth as their use in food animals will continue to be called into question dueto concerns over increased antimicrobial resistance in humans.

OTC products to be more available

Veterinarians will remain the primary end user of animal health chemicals dueto the prescription-only nature of many products and their expertise indiagnosis and treatment. However, veterinarians will face increasing competitionfrom over-thecounter outlets such as pet supply stores and the Internet, whichenable pet owners, farmers and animal managers at other sites to purchase animalhealth chemicals at a lower price. Households will see the strongest growth, aspet owners move towards doit- yourself animal care. Animal feed manufacturerswill benefit from food safety concerns, the increasing use of feed additives toimprove food animal output, the convenience and cost efficiency of feed as adelivery method and increasing shift towards preventative health care. Pet foodmanufacturers will bolster demand as they incorporate higher levels ofnutritional chemicals in their formulations.

Companion animals to offer best prospects

Livestock and poultry will continue to account for the majority of animalhealth chemical demand. However, companion animals will continue to see thefastest growth, driven by strong growth in product developments, general agingin the pet population and increased spending per animal. The increasingavailability of pet insurance will enable pet owners to more easily affordpreventative, routine health care, as well as costly treatments such aschemotherapy. All other animals, including those which can be found at suchplaces as zoos, amusement and theme parks, circuses and shelters, will continueto see gains through 2006 as pest and disease control, as well as general animalhealth, continue to play a crucial part of animal management programs.
