EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Veterinary vaccines generated global sales of more than $2.4 billion in 1998, accounting for approximately 14% of the world market for animal health and nutrition products. Excluding the nutritional feed additives market, the vaccine share of core veterinary product sales rose to more than 17% in 1998. This rise can be attributed to an increase of new products in the vaccine sector. Broader applications of immunological disease control combined with low growth in other product sectors will see vaccines command an increasingly larger share of the world market for animal health products in the 21st century.

Classical live and inactivated vaccines dominated the veterinary biologicals market until the early 1980s, when modern biotechnological advances began to offer new approaches to vaccine construction, design, and manufacture. The new technologies enabled improvements to be made in both the safety and efficacy of vaccine products. They also encouraged research into vaccines against new viral, bacterial, and parasite targets and the expansion of immunological applications into new areas.

The success of those research efforts has seen a growth in the type and number of high-tech vaccines brought to market since the early 1980s. Three major new vaccine types - gene deleted products, vectored vaccines, and sub-unit vaccines - have been successfully commercialised, and have already had a significant impact both on the ability to control or eradicate animal disease, and on the structure of the biologicals market.

The new technology of deleting one or more of the appropriate genes from target pathogens renders them non-pathogenic, increasing the safety of gene-deleted or marker vaccines. Deletions also enable serological distinctions between vaccinated animals and those exposed to natural or 'field' organisms. The usage of gene-deleted vaccines and associated testing techniques has played a major part in the efforts to eradicate infections such as Aujeszky's disease and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis.

Sub-unit vaccines are constructed using the fractions of a target pathogen that are responsible for inducing immunological responses. Target material is manufactured using expression systems before extraction and purification but prior to use in sub-unit vaccines. The resulting sub-unit products have been commercialised for use in a range of species, including pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, and small animals.

The insertion of protective antigens into modified viral or bacterial 'vector' material enables accurate and refined delivery of the vaccine to the required sites of action. The use of vectors has enabled manufacturers to overcome the sometimes limited immunogenicity of sub-unit products. The Vaccinia virus was widely used in early products, but now an increasing range of viral and bacterial hosts are being utilised in both commercial vectored vaccines and development-stage products.

In the past 10 to 15 years, the boundaries of vaccine coverage have been expanding - notably in the companion animal sector where products against feline leukaemia, canine Lyme disease, and feline infectious peritonitis have all been commercialised. Key new targets for immunological control are being addressed in a variety of species, and vaccines will eventually be used against an increasing range of viral, bacterial, and parasitic problems. Improved protection is eventually expected against diseases such as bovine mastitis and poultry coccidiosis. Vaccines against major parasites in both livestock and companion animals are also in development, while immunological products for the control of reproduction will eventually be made available for use in a range of species.

The first two chapters of this report look in detail at the technologies being used to improve the safety and efficacy of veterinary vaccines, and at the range of vaccine targets now under scrutiny by commercial and academic organisations. Chapters Three and Four examine commercial aspects, profiling the market for veterinary vaccines and the leading companies active in the sector.

The existing results of high-tech approaches to vaccine design and the potential of such approaches have attracted a broad range of research specialists into the sector. National markets for the manufacture and marketing of vaccines are well populated, but commercial activity at a global level is the domain of only a few multinational companies. The market leader, Fort Dodge, generates roughly 15% of total global vaccine sales, while the remaining top five companies account for a total share of nearly 60%. This report profiles the businesses of eight leading players, between them responsible for more than 70% of world vaccine sales.

The report also looks in detail at the size and structure of the vaccines market, which is led by sales in the EU and North America. These two regions together account for more than half of the total world market. Other key regional markets include South America and the Far East. The markets of 10 countries are profiled in depth, and they are responsible for close to two-thirds of global vaccine sales. Individual profiles examine recent rates of market growth, the structure of individual markets by species, and prospects for future sales growth.
