Based on the type of therapy, the veterinary auto-immune therapeutics market is segmented into corticosteroids, azathioprine, cyclosporine, mycophenolate, leflunomide, cyclophosphamide, levothyroxine, folic acid, hydroxychloroquine, and chloroquine. Corticosteroids held the highest revenue of USD 1.1 billion in 2022 and expected to grow in the forecast period. Corticosteroids are potent anti-inflammatory agents. In veterinary medicine, many autoimmune conditions involve an excessive immune response and inflammation, leading to tissue damage. Corticosteroids help mitigate inflammation by suppressing the immune system's response, reducing the severity of symptoms, and providing relief to affected animals.
Based on diseases, the veterinary auto-immune therapeutics market is divided into hypothyroidism, pemphigus disease, canine lupus, auto-immune haemolytic anaemia, bullous pemphigoid, discoid lupus erythematosus, immune-related arthritis, and other diseases. In 2022, the hypothyroidism segment accounted for the largest share of 30.7% in the market. Hypothyroidism is most common in dogs but also develops rarely in other animals like cats, horses, and other companion animals.
Based on animal type, the veterinary auto-immune therapeutics market is subdivided into companion animals, livestock animals, and other animals. The companion animal segment is further subdivided into dogs, cats, horses, and other companion animals. The livestock animal segment is further subdivided into cattle, swine, poultry, sheep, and other livestock animals. The companion animal segment held the largest market share of 61.3% in 2022.
