The global beef cattle health market size was estimated at USD 5.85 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 12.22 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.80% from 2025 to 2033. The market is experiencing growth driven by the rising prevalence of infectious and parasitic diseases, such as bovine respiratory disease and New World screwworm, which threaten herd productivity.
Innovations like injectable antibiotics and parasitic treatments, along with increased adoption of preventive healthcare and medicated feed additives, are boosting demand for effective cattle health solutions worldwide. Additionally, expanding awareness among producers about disease management, animal welfare, and productivity optimization has led to higher consumption of pharmaceuticals, biologics, and medicated feed additives. For example, rising concerns over bovine respiratory disease and foot-and-mouth disease have fueled the demand for vaccines and antibiotics, while nutritional supplements and probiotics are increasingly used to enhance feed efficiency and immunity.
According to the report published by Ceva in July 2025, global beef prices will remain strong in June 2025, driven by tight cattle supplies and robust demand. In Europe and the USA, prices surged over 40% year-on-year, while Brazil saw steady growth supported by booming exports. China's prices stabilized after earlier gains, as increased imports balanced the market. Overall, global demand for beef continues to outpace supply. High cattle prices and strong international demand encourage producers to invest more in herd health, disease prevention, and productivity enhancement. This trend will likely boost the beef cattle health market, driving growth in vaccines, feed additives, and veterinary services to sustain herd performance and export quality.
Additionally, the increasing prevalence of infectious and parasitic diseases and growing FDA approvals for innovative products to maintain beef cattle health are expected to drive market growth. For instance, in September 2025, the FDA approved Dectomax-CA1 for New World screwworm prevention and treatment, highlighting the urgent need for effective parasitic control in cattle. Similarly, in February 2025, Elanco's launch of Pradalex, a novel injectable antibiotic for bovine respiratory disease (BRD), underscores the demand for advanced therapeutics to manage highly prevalent and costly respiratory infections in feedlot and stocker cattle. These innovations enhance herd health, reduce mortality, and improve overall production efficiency, encouraging greater adoption of veterinary pharmaceuticals and biologics globally.
