The animal health industry will grow by 7.9% in 2025.

The animal health sector in Brazil maintained its growth trajectory in 2025, closing the year with revenues of R$ 12.8 billion, a 7.9% increase over 2024. These figures were compiled by the National Union of Animal Health Products Industry (Sindan) and reinforce the industry's strategic role in agricultural production, sanitary safety, and animal welfare in the country. The result continues a decade of consistent expansion, with an average growth of close to 10% over the last ten years, sustained by the incorporation of new sanitary technologies in the field. “The 2025 result confirms the maturity of a sector that has been growing consistently for over a decade. The animal health industry is a fundamental part of agricultural production and food security in the country, in addition to providing greater well-being and longevity for pets. Our companies continue to invest in technology and prevention to meet the demands of the domestic and international markets,” says Emílio Salani, executive vice-president of Sindan. The cattle segment remained the main driver of the market, accounting for 47% of the industry's total revenue. This activity continues to be strategic for Brazilian agribusiness, playing a central role in productivity, food security, and the adoption of more efficient sanitary practices. Poultry farming was among the segments with the greatest growth during the period, driven by the strengthening of Brazilian exports and the growing global demand for animal protein. This performance reflects the positive momentum of the production chains and increases the weight of these segments in the sector's revenue. Among the product categories, biologicals and antiparasitics remained among the industry's main players. This movement reflects the increasing adoption of technologies focused on disease prevention, productivity, and sanitary efficiency in animal production. The companion animal segment, which had experienced years of significant growth, ended 2025 with a 25% share of revenue – compared to 27% in 2024. This adjustment is related to the more accelerated growth of production chains, especially cattle and poultry, which gained weight within the animal health market. “The realignment between segments reflects the positive momentum of the production chains, and not a loss of strength in the pet market, which remains relevant and has ample room to evolve in prevention and care,” says Gabriela Mura, director of market and regulatory affairs at Sindan. The data reinforces the dynamism of the animal health industry in Brazil and the sector's ability to keep up with the transformations in livestock production and the demands of national and international markets. Animal health is thus consolidating itself as one of the pillars of the country's economy and sanitary security.
