Johnes Disease Diagnostics Market Trends

Johne’s Disease Diagnostics Market Trends

• Eradication programs and increased awareness of paratuberculosis are driving growth in the market.
  • For instance, the Irish Johne's Control Programme (IJCP) demonstrates a comprehensive approach to managing the disease in Ireland's cattle industry. As of 2021, over 1,800 herds were enrolled in the program, representing approximately 15% of the country's dairy herds.
     
  • The program enhances biosecurity, improves calf health, and demonstrates Ireland's commitment to sustainable cattle production. This approach necessitates regular testing, increasing the demand for accurate diagnostic tools for disease management.
     
• In the U.S., the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has implemented a cooperative Federal-State-Industry Johne's Disease Control Program. According to USDA estimates, Johne's disease affects approximately 68% of U.S. dairy herds, resulting in an annual economic loss of USD 200 to 250 million for the dairy industry.
   
• Increased funding for research to develop new control measures further highlights growing awareness of Johne's disease. The USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) allocated over USD 5 million in grants for Johne's disease research between 2015 and 2020.
   
• These initiatives reflect the growing recognition of paratuberculosis as a major concern in livestock health, fueling the demand for diagnostic kits, and thereby propelling market growth.
