Sustainable Market Dynamics

Continuing Growth in FAP and CAP Markets

Animal health globally is generally described as comprising two segments: Food producing Animal Products (FAP) and Companion Animal Products (CAP). FAP continues to show global growth due to an increased demand for high quality protein production, whereas CAP growth (a sector in which horses are generally included) is driven by the pet owners’ compassion for their animals, improved nutrition and a wider range of medical products and treatments.
