Auto-immune disease is a condition in which the immune system fails to identify body's tissues and begins to attack and reject the as foreign antigen. Some of the popular autoimmune conditions among animal species are autoimmune diseases of the skin such as Pemphigus Vulgaris, Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), dry eye, Addison's disease, Canine inflammatory bowel disease, Canine systemic lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Allergies (a hypersensitive immune system) and others.
The diagnosis of autoimmune disease across animal especially among companion animals is performed through absolute measurement of blood panel to analyze the red blood cell, platelet, blood cortisol. These tests are helpful for measuring the presence of positive anti-nuclear antibodies in a blood sample. Veterinarians prescribe urinalysis, thyroid test to diagnose an autoimmune condition in animals. Latest thyroid tests are performed to analyze the presence of T3 (triodothyronine) and T4 (levothyroxine) and other antibodies which indicated auto-immune thyroiditis and other forms of genetic diseases.
The increasing transfer of zoonotic diseases among immunosuppressed patient is a prime factor responsible for the increased awareness of the auto-immune disease among companion animals. High threat of HIV transfer from the animal source to a person with suppressed immunity, transfer of allergic components from companion animal to family members are also increasing the demand for diagnosis for autoimmune disease diagnosis among companion animal.
The growing incidence of autoimmune diseases in livestock animal has decreased the quality of meat consumed especially in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Moreover, the increasing focus on livestock health among African countries which are the main exporters of livestock is increasing the demand for autoimmune disease diagnosis. However, limited test sensitivity and specificity, higher cost of a test, and limited intervention by the government regarding regulation are hindering the growth of autoimmune disease diagnosis market.
Autoimmune disease diagnosis is gaining more attention across companion animal diagnosis owing to increased threat of zoonotic disease transfer among human. The growing incidence of zoonotic disease transfer is changing business operations of the animal healthcare industry as emergency care.
The veterinary hospitals are offering a wide range of diagnostics service for companion animals. These hospitals and clinics are competing on the basis of new offerings in diagnostics test services. However, limited intervention by the government to promote the clinical diagnosis of animal, lack of effective molecular-based technologies to diagnose the autoimmune condition is curbing the growth of animal autoimmune disease diagnostics market.
Commercial availability of molecular-based rapid diagnostics techniques such as ELISA, DNA amplification, and other nuclear testing is decreasing the waiting time for animal disease diagnosis. This is also increasing the quality of test outcome which could help veterinary physicians in a suitable prescription of drug and therapies.
Geographically, the global animal auto-immune disease diagnostics market, is segmented into regions namely, North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia-Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ), Japan, Middle East and Africa (MEA).
North America market holds significant revenue share in animal auto-immune disease diagnostics due to higher awareness for threats of zoonotic disease transfer, availability of veterinary care facilities which are bridging the pet and human health concerns.
Asia Pacific and Africa market are witnessing increased adoption of animal healthcare service especially for livestock animal owing to increasing demand for meat products in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry. Moreover, the increasing threat of zoonotic disease transfer in livestock animal is expected to boost the demand of animal autoimmune disease diagnostic market during the forecast period.
