Benjamin Atkin-Davies
Analyst Melbourne, Australia August 2026

The Veterinary Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Product Manufacturing industry has recorded strong revenue growth over the past few years, despite unfavourable economic conditions and rising costs. To achieve this, manufacturers have pivoted towards high-value, specialised product ranges that command higher margins. Despite their higher prices, demand for these products has been robust, especially from livestock farms, which have become increasingly willing to pay premium prices to improve productivity. While falling discretionary incomes have led some consumers to opt for low-cost, generic companion animal treatments, pet humanisation trends have spurred demand for premium therapies, somewhat offsetting this trend. Overall, this has meant that industry revenue is expected to have grown at an annualised rate of 8.3% over the five years through 2026-27, including a 5.2% jump in the current year, to a total of $808.8 million. This has outpaced increases in key costs, like purchases and wages, resulting in higher profit margins for manufacturers during this period.
