Animal Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2025

Description

The Global Animal Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Market was valued at USD 3.1 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% to reach USD 6.3 billion by 2034, driven by the increasing prevalence of GERD among both companion and livestock animals, as well as advancements in veterinary diagnostics and treatments. Factors such as aging populations, obesity, and gastrointestinal infections contribute to the development of GERD in animals, leading to a higher demand for effective treatment options. The market is characterized by the availability of various diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions, including antacids, H2 antagonists, and proton pump inhibitors, which are widely used in veterinary medicine to manage GERD symptoms. These medications help reduce stomach acid and are commonly prescribed due to their proven safety and efficacy profiles in animals.
