US small animal pain management market profiled in new report
Brakke Consulting’s latest multiclient study takes an in-depth look at pain management products for dogs and cats. ”The pain management market has been one of the fastest growing areas in animal health, with a variety of new active ingredients and novel formulations in the past 20 years,” said Lynn Fondon DVM MBA, senior consultant of Brakke Consulting. “Sales of small animal analgesics have increased 20-fold since the introduction of Rimadyl, the first of the new-generation NSAIDs, in 1996.” The study, Pain Management Products for Dogs and Cats, profiles the veterinary market for analgesics, both veterinary and human products, as well as nutritional supplements and therapeutic diets for joint support. The report includes an overview of pain management in veterinary medicine, leading product sales and pricing, and a discussion of new and developing products, including a number of novel molecules. The report also includes a survey of small animal veterinarians. “Our veterinary survey found that veterinarians are largely satisfied with the available products for dogs, but feel there is a need for safer analgesics for cats, particularly those that can be used long-term,” comments Dr. Fondon. The report – published annually by Brakke for the past decade – gathered information from a variety of sources, including published information, industry interviews and a survey of over 200 small animal veterinarians.

Pet Pharmaceutical Market Study Published by Brakke Consulting and Trone Brand Energy
Brakke Consulting, Inc. and Trone Brand Energy today announced the publication of a new report documenting the changes in the pharmaceutical buying behavior of pet owners. The comprehensive Pet Pharmaceutical Market Study includes quantitative surveys of U.S. pet owners, companion animal veterinarians, and pharmacists. The study also contains qualitative interviews with key industry stakeholders, together giving a predictable picture of the future. Among the key findings, the study identified: • Which segments of pet owners have already modified their buying behavior for pet pharmaceuticals • How many pet owners plan to change in the future • What pet owners expect from their veterinarian • The implications of veterinarians resisting those pet owner expectations “Changes to the pet pharmaceutical marketplace will present opportunities and challenges to virtually all segments of the companion animal health industry,” said Ron Brakke, president of Brakke Consulting. “Addressing the challenges now will allow the industry to capitalize on the opportunities, not become victims of the change.” “We were able to identify the early movers of the new pharmaceutical distribution model and the important position they occupy in the veterinary-client relationship,” said Doug Barton, president of Trone Brand Energy. “The coming changes will definitely impact veterinary practices, as well as impact pharmaceutical companies and retail channels. How industry and veterinarians react in the near term will determine how much the shift

Animal Health Execs Forecast Steady Growth
In 2015 the global animal health industry will see steady growth in the range of 4% to 5%. That’s the consensus of more than 40 senior executives surveyed recently by Brakke Consulting, Inc. The survey was conducted in late 2014, and presented at Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas, NV, this month. “Executives of smaller companies tended to be more bullish about 2015 and beyond than larger companies,” said Ron Brakke, president of Brakke Consulting. “Their optimism may be driven in part by new technologies they are developing.” Regions of greatest growth are expected to be Asia, especially China, followed by the US and Latin America, according to survey participants. Sales in Europe are expected to be flat or perhaps even down slightly. While executives expect sales of both companion animal and food animal products to expand, they foresee further contraction in the equine market. In the US, survey participants anticipate that beef and swine numbers will grow, rebounding from declines caused by drought (beef) and PEDV (swine). PEDV is porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, a devastating disease that hit US swine herds in 2013 and 2014. Animal Health executives are happy to have the Great Recession behind them. There was almost universal agreement that meat consumption and pet populations were both negatively impacted by the recession, especially in the US.
