The U.S. pet industry is undergoing a transition phase with influence from veterinarians. The availability of drugs through private veterinary practices is increasing. Furthermore, the habit of self-medication and Internet pharmacies is fuelling the entry of branded as well as generic drugs into the market. With increased demand, the market is witnessing consolidation between players (among large players, as well as between large &medium-size players). The large players account for a majority market share. Consolidation among major drug makers is making the market more competitive, thus increasing the bargaining power of sellers. However, recent patent expirations are putting the bigger players at risk from generic veterinary drugs, which are expected to be available in large quantities in less-developed markets at substantially lower prices.
