Global Trends in Animal Health Innovation

The Global Trends in Animal Health Innovation presentation was prepared and presented at the Animal Health Summit 2026 in Kansas City.

The Animal Health industry is entering a new era of innovation, shaped by a rapidly expanding start-up ecosystem, growing investor interest and the accelerating adoption of technologies previously associated with Human Health. Innovation has become an increasingly important driver of market growth, while faster generic entry is increasing the need for companies to continuously develop new sources of value.

The presentation explores how the innovation landscape has evolved, what innovation has delivered for the industry so far, and where the next opportunities are emerging — from addressing unmet needs in companion animals and improving productivity in production animals to the growing role of AI in Animal Health.
