NEWARK, DE / ACCESS Newswire / February 20, 2026 / The global veterinary vaccines market is entering a decade of structured, policy-backed expansion. Valued at USD 10.8 billion in 2026, the industry is forecast to reach USD 18.2 billion by 2036, advancing at a CAGR of 5.4%. Growth momentum is being reinforced by rising zoonotic disease awareness, stricter biosecurity compliance, and sustained expansion in livestock production across developing economies.

According to Future Market Insights (FMI), preventive immunization is becoming central to animal health management as regulators and producers seek to reduce antibiotic reliance while protecting farm productivity and trade continuity.

Preventive Immunization Becomes Core to Animal Health Economics

Rising outbreak risks and cross-species transmission concerns are reshaping procurement strategies across livestock and companion animal segments. Producers increasingly favor vaccination programs that safeguard herd productivity, limit mortality, and stabilize export access.

Manufacturers are responding with greater investment in recombinant platforms, DNA-based approaches, and improved adjuvant systems designed to enhance immune response consistency across species and production settings. Product development is steadily shifting from broad-spectrum coverage to pathogen-specific precision targeting, improving protection reliability and regulatory alignment.

Technology Leadership: Inactivated Vaccines Maintain Stronghold

Inactivated vaccines are projected to hold 34.2% market share in 2026, maintaining leadership due to their strong safety profile and regulatory acceptance. Their continued dominance is supported by:

• No risk of reversion to virulence

• Broad suitability across animal populations

• Improvements in purification and inactivation techniques

• Enhanced immune durability through advanced adjuvants

For high-consequence diseases, these formats remain the preferred option in markets with strict compliance standards.

Livestock Segment Anchors Demand at Scale

Livestock animals are expected to account for 57.1% of total demand in 2026, underscoring the direct connection between herd health and agricultural economics. Preventive vaccination offers superior value over reactive treatment by reducing production losses, safeguarding reproductive performance, and stabilizing food supply chains.

Combination vaccines are gaining traction in intensive production systems, reducing injection frequency while broadening pathogen coverage. Integration of vaccination schedules with hygiene protocols and movement controls is strengthening structured herd immunity programs.

Disease Focus: Foot and Mouth Disease Leads Indication Share

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) vaccines are projected to represent 28.9% of disease indication share in 2026, reflecting the severe economic consequences of outbreaks and the need for repeat vaccination cycles in endemic regions.

Routine immunization programs remain central to maintaining livestock trade access and preventing supply disruptions in high-risk territories.
