Challenges In Eye care for companion animals’ industry Market

This industry of eye care for companion animals has several challenges, such as a lack of awareness of the need for routine eye health check-ups and preventive eye care among pet owners for their pets, which overlooks early signs of eye conditions. This causes a delay in getting treatment and results in more complex health problems arising. The availability of specialised veterinary ophthalmologists is also limited, especially in the rural and deprived areas, which can restrict access to advanced eye care services for pets. This shortcoming in accessibility affects early diagnosis and effective management of eye-related issues of companion animals. Specialised treatment and diagnosis are usually expensive, which can discourage some pet owners from bringing their animals to the veterinary clinic. Insurance for companion animal health is not widespread or comprehensive; therefore, affordability becomes an issue for many. Moreover, regulatory hurdles and extensive clinical trials for new medications and treatments before products are marketed delay product introduction. Education of pet owners and affordability and accessibility are all essential to overcoming these challenges in the market.

Merger and acquisition
