The small animals segment was the largest and was valued at USD 79.36 million in 2018. Furthermore, the availability of cost-effective, minimally-invasive, flexible systems is further adding to the growing sales of new systems used for monitoring behavior patterns in small animals during preclinical studies. During the forecast period, the market is expected to witness swift market growth and trends further, owing to the increasingly stringent regulatory standards for maintaining pharmacological safety and the growing availability of funding for research related to neuroscience, cardiology, metabolic disorders, and oncology. Therefore, the small animals segment is expected to grow and, in turn, foster the growth of the global preclinical animal behavior market during the forecast period.

End-user

Industrial laboratories and CROs 

The industrial laboratories and CROs segment held a significant share of the market in 2023. Industrial laboratories, including pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and contract research organizations (CROs), are among the key organizations that are involved in drug discovery, research, design, and development. These organizations have developed the infrastructure required to conduct preclinical and clinical studies for testing the drug candidates. The development of novel therapeutic candidates by these organizations, from a simple compound to a successful launch of medicine in the market, can be achieved only with a proper understanding of drug response in animal specimens during preclinical testing. Further, preclinical CROs exclusively test therapeutic candidates or medical devices for healthcare and biopharmaceutical companies before the devices or the therapeutic candidates undergo human or clinical trials. They offer services such as synthesizing drug compounds, running biochemical assays, as well as conducting animal studies. Hence, the industrial laboratories and CROs segment of the market is expected to grow during the forecast period.

Academic and government research laboratories

In 2023, the industrial laboratories and Contract Research Organizations (CROs) segment played a crucial role in the global preclinical animal behavior market. This sector, comprising pharmaceutical, biotechnology companies, and CROs, is instrumental in drug discovery and development. These entities conduct preclinical and clinical studies, relying extensively on preclinical animal behavior monitoring equipment. Such apparatus aids in real-time monitoring of physiological conditions and behavioral patterns during testing phases. Factors like the surge in clinical trials, drug research, and patent expiries drive animal-based preclinical research among industrial laboratories and CROs. Many pharmaceutical firms outsource preclinical research to CROs for cost-efficiency and access to diverse equipment. Biopharmaceutical companies increasingly rely on CROs to enhance Research and Development (R&D) productivity, further fueling the growth of the industrial laboratories and CROs segment in the market during the forecast period. 

Regional Analysis

North America is estimated to contribute 44% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that will shape the market during the forecast period. North America was the largest contributor to the market in 2023, with the US being the leading country in terms of revenue. Recent advances in pharmaceutical research, a growing focus on drug and vaccine discovery and development for treating various lifestyle diseases, and the presence of several vendors in the US offering a wide range of products are supporting the growth of the preclinical animal behavior market in the region. The presence of global vendors offering various products in the regional market is attributed to the market growth in the US, which is subsequently driving the market growth in North America. Moreover, the prevalence of various chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, is also rising in the region.

For instance, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), every year, about 735,000 Americans have a heart attack, among which 525,000 are a first heart attack, and 210,000 attacks occur in people who have already had a heart attack, which eventually triggers the demand for advanced therapeutics in North America. Hence, the rising prevalence of various chronic diseases increases the demand for research in various fields of the pharmaceutical sector. This, in turn, results in increasing the potential demand for systems and apparatus used for monitoring and studying preclinical animal behavior and, thus, drives the growth of the market in the region during the market forecast period.

Moreover, the risks associated with changing lifestyles include disorders such as diabetes, obesity, and respiratory disorders owing to the increasing habit of smoking are also on the rise. Hence, the rising prevalence of various chronic diseases increases the demand for research in various fields of the pharmaceutical sector, which, in turn, is expected to drive market growth.

Moreover, the increase in the number of people with various chronic diseases and disorders is resulting in growing research, increasing potential demand for systems and apparatus used for monitoring and studying preclinical animal behavior. Therefore, such factors are expected to drive the growth of the global preclinical animal behavior market during the forecast period.

Significant Preclinical Animal Behavior Market Trends

Innovations in animal behavior tracking systems are an emerging trend shaping market growth.  Improved animal behavior tracking systems enhance research capabilities, improve data collection, and foster a more accurate and comprehensive analysis. The improved tracking accuracy also leads to more precise and sophisticated tracking systems, which enables scientists to monitor animal behavior better in real time and across various environments. The enhanced precision of these tracking systems makes the collection of animal behavioral data more detailed and accurate and contributes to a deeper understanding of animal responses to stimuli or treatments.

For instance, EthoVision XT, a video tracking software, tracks and analyzes the behavior, movement, and activity of any animal. This software is ideal for studying specific behaviors in rodents, such as freezing, rearing, or grooming. Therefore, the development of such innovative tracking systems will drive the growth of the global preclinical animal behavior market during the forecast period.

Major Preclinical Animal Behavior Market Challenges

Challenges associated with conducting behavioral studies in animals are a significant challenge hindering market growth. The foundation of preclinical assessment, particularly in neuroscience research, relies heavily on rodent behavior evaluation. The advent of digitization in the medical field has enabled scientists to access and quantify a myriad of behavioral variables using computation, vision, and deep learning. However, the field of behavioral neuroethology is still emerging, lacking consolidated methods and facing challenges in algorithm transferability between laboratories. Benchmarking experiments and well-annotated behavior datasets are crucial but insufficient. 

Additionally, animal studies, while beneficial, face limitations in replicating human trials, stemming from experimental design issues, methodological imprecision, and challenges in extrapolating results from animal models to humans. These practical challenges are anticipated to impede the market growth and forecasting of the global preclinical animal behavior market in the forecast period.
