Your View
Last week we asked which factor is most important in determining market potential for a new animal health product or service. Nearly 43% chose disease incidence, followed by competitive landscape (24%), customer acquisition (17%), R&D costs (9%), and target species (7%). When I asked Grok without providing choices, it suggested whether the product solves a commercially relevant unmet need, starting with: “Is the problem recognized?” Sounds a lot like disease incidence!
