The Middle East animal health market size was estimated at USD 1.23 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.70 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 9.14% from 2025 to 2033. The animal health market in the Middle East is continuously growing, driven by rising livestock demand and food security initiatives, increasing pet ownership and companion animal care, and expansion of veterinary infrastructure and services.
The region relies heavily on livestock for meat, milk, and other animal-based products due to cultural dietary preferences and limited arable land. According to the report of March 2025, Al-Ra’i National Livestock Company, a NADEC subsidiary, secured a USD 293.2 million loan from Saudi Arabia’s Agricultural Development Fund to enhance red meat production. The project will expand sheep and goat farming, aiming for an annual output of one million livestock.
To reduce dependency on imports and ensure food security, governments in the region are investing in animal husbandry and health infrastructure. In January 2025, Oman is expecting to boost regional veterinary capacity with a RO15mn animal vaccine facility in Khazaen, aiming to produce 2 billion doses annually, enhance food security, and strengthen biosecurity. This initiative aims to boost regional veterinary care and position Abu Dhabi as a key hub for innovative animal healthcare and vaccine production across the Middle East and Africa. In addition, in July 2025, Qatar’s Animal Wealth Department and Belarusian veterinary experts held talks to explore collaboration in developing local animal health capabilities, focusing on advancing veterinary services and livestock sector growth.
Due to increasing urbanization and rising disposable incomes, there has been a noticeable surge in pet ownership across Middle Eastern countries, particularly in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. Changing social attitudes have led to more households adopting dogs, cats, and exotic animals, creating a burgeoning demand for companion animal healthcare. Pet parents are increasingly spending on vaccinations, routine check-ups, grooming, pet insurance, and preventive treatments. Veterinary clinics and pet hospitals are expanding, and online platforms offering pet care products and tele-veterinary services are growing in popularity.The launch of Saudi Arabia’s first pet insurance platform in 2024 and Paws & Partners Forum represent a transformative step in the companion animal health market. By making veterinary care more affordable and accessible, pet insurance is expected to drive increased visits to animal clinics, greater uptake of preventive care, and demand for specialized services.
The Middle East is witnessing the rapid development of veterinary infrastructure, driven by both government support and private sector participation. Veterinary hospitals, mobile clinics, diagnostic labs, and research centers are expanding in number and capabilities. Along with this, in February 2021, Biogal partnered with the UAE's Eurovets following the Israel-UAE peace treaty, marking a historic collaboration to enhance animal welfare through advanced veterinary diagnostics and solutions. These expansions and collaborations improve access to quality care, diagnostics, and medicines, particularly in urban and semi-urban areas, and are playing a key role in shaping a more sophisticated and well-regulated animal health ecosystem across the region.
