Animal Fungal Treatment Market size is expected to reach USD 3.24 billion by the end of 2037, growing at a CAGR of 6.89% during the forecast period i.e., 2025-2037. In the year 2024, the industry size of animal fungal treatment was over USD 1.36 billion. The demand for foods produced from animals, such as meat, dairy products, and eggs, has been acknowledged to have increased recently. The FAO estimates that, by 2050, they will need to produce 60% more food to meet the dietary needs of 9.3 billion people on Earth. If people tried to do it by farming as normal, the resources we have would be over-utilized.
Fungal infections, which are normally associated with animals, continue to occur in people mainly as a result of human activity. Due to increased mobility and development and changes in the surrounding environment, emerging fungal infections are on the rise and need to be closely monitored. If there is a known species switching hosts or if the number of cases increases, people are known to be infected with diseases linked to animals.
