From strength to strength around the world

The world market for animal health products stands at around €12 billion, and has grown little, in real terms, since the mid-1990s. It expanded by 3.3% real growth* in 2006. Intervet has outpaced the market during the last decade, climbing from 11th to 3rd place in a ranking of sales. Effected by strategic divestments our revenues grew by 2.8% in 2006. Intervet’s share of the world market is now close to 10%.

Markets in Western Europe and North America generate approximately two-thirds of global animal health sales. Intervet enjoys a leadership position in Europe, and has strengthened its North American business in recent years through product launches and strategic acquisitions. Our aim is to consolidate our positions in major markets, and build a leading presence in markets with future growth potential, such as Brazil, Russia, India and China.
