DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “China Companion Animal Health Market – Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2020 – 2025)” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The China companion health market is primarily driven by the rising popularity of pet ownership and growing spending on animal healthcare and rising awareness regarding the various treatments available for companion animal diseases.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the adoption of dogs and cats that has been observed in China, as they are the most favourite companions of human beings. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, it has been estimated that China is the third-largest country, in terms of dog ownership, a total of 27.4 million pet dogs, standing behind the United States and Brazil, with 55.3 million and 35.7 million dogs, respectively. China also stands second in the ownership of pet cats (58.1 million).The pet industry in China is booming and the growth rates in the region are comparable to the other developed countries. Hence, the increase in pet adoption has helped in driving the companion health market.

With the increase in the number of companion animals, owners are becoming increasingly aware of their pet’s health and nutrition, and are also seeking veterinary services. This, in turn, is creating a growing demand for diversified forms of companion animal healthcare products.

These drugs are found to be unsafe and ineffective that are found to be harmful for the health and well-being of pets, and may affect a large section of the pets population. This is likely to hamper the market growth over the forecast period.
