The increasing livestock population is a significant driver of the market, as it directly influences the demand for effective parasite management solutions.
With the growing global demand for meat, milk, and other animal-derived products, farmers are expanding livestock herds to meet these needs.
For instance, as per the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the global cattle population reached 1.5 billion in 2021, a 1.4% increase from the previous year.
A larger livestock population elevates the risk of parasitic infestations, which can impact animal health, productivity, and overall economic returns.
Consequently, this drives the adoption of dewormers as an essential component of livestock management.
Moreover, government initiatives promoting animal healthcare and productivity further amplify the demand for deworming products, ensuring optimal growth rates and reducing disease-related losses in livestock.
