Ceftiofur Market Analysis
The Global Ceftiofur Market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.
COVID-19 has affected the ceftiofur market significantly. The supply chain was disrupted, leading to difficulty in moving animal products, such as meat, milk, and eggs to markets. However, to cater to the disrupted demand-supply chain, the Food and Agriculture Organization, in April 2020, published a new policy regarding the production of livestock and the supply chain of livestock products during the pandemic to ensure sufficient production of livestock. In May 2020, Animal Health Europe announced the European Commission adding veterinary medicines to the ''Communication for the Implementation of the Green Lanes under the Guidelines for Border Management Measures'', to protect health and ensure the availability of goods and essential services for the stable supply of safe, nutritious food and protection of pets during the pandemic. Therefore, the market studied was affected largely by lockdowns and restrictions.
The major factor attributing to the growth of the market is a rise in the death rate among swine and cattle around the world with reproductive tract infections, and skin and soft tissue infections.
Higher demand for ceftiofur antibiotics can be due to their approval for treatment of bacterial respiratory disease associated with various bacterium. These bacteria include Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Streptococcus suis infections among swine, Mannheimia haemolytica, and Haemophilus Somnus among cattle. According to the United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service article about National Veterinary Services Laboratories Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (FADDL), updated in June 2021, several infectious foreign animal disease (FAD) agents are studied in the facility in New York. The Diagnostics Services section of the FADDL can diagnose more than thirty exotic animal diseases (including foot-and-mouth disease, classical swine fever, African swine fever, and other diseases listed by the World Organization for Animal Health) and can perform thousands of diagnostic tests each year. With the help of diagnostics in veterinary, more infectious diseases are being detected which is contributing to the market growth, as it will open new opportunities for treatment options for such diseases.
Ceftiofur Market Trends
Swine segment is Expected to Hold the Major Market Share in the Ceftiofur Market
The swine segment is expected to account for the largest market revenue share during the forecast period. This dominance is attributed to increased awareness about animal health and protein-rich foods for pet animals. Also, the increased revenue can be attributed to their higher consumption across the world. According to the statistics published by The National Pork Board for the year 2020, the World Per Capita Pork Consumption shares 41.3% of total meat consumption across the globe. Thus, increased demand for these antibiotics is expected to increase to maintain a healthy swine population. Furthermore, a rise in funding by government authorities and livestock producers for research activities is likely to create more opportunities that are fueling the growth of the segment.
Major companies in the market such as Zoetis provide Ceftiofur for swine. EXCEDE by Zoetis for Swine is the crystalline-free acid of ceftiofur, a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including strains that produce -lactamases, is present in the ready-to-use preparation known as sterile suspension. Like other cephalosporins, ceftiofur suppresses the formation of cell walls in vitro, making it antibacterial.
The presence of ceftiofur from key companies and the rising population of swine are expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period.

North America Dominates the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period.
North America is expected to retain its significant market share, owing to factors, like rising pet adoption and increasing per capita animal healthcare expenditure. Additionally, the rise in the prevalence of various animal diseases and injuries is a major factor that fuels the market growth.
According to the 2021-2022 National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), around 70% of United States households own a pet, which equates to 90.5 million homes, including 45.3 million cats and 69 million dogs. The same source also reported that annual expenditure on routine visits for dogs accounted for USD 242, whereas it was USD 178 for cats. According to the Animal Cancer Foundation, 65 million dogs and 32 million cats in the United States are diagnosed with cancer. Moreover, approximately 6 million new cancer diagnosed in pets every year. With increasing ownership of pets and livestock, US citizens become more considerate of the health of these animals. According to the American Pet Products Association, the expenditure on pets in the United States is also rising, which may propel market growth.
Thus, with increased awareness and expenditure on animal health, the market is expected to show significant growth in the future.
