摘要

Top 20 record average annual sales growth rate of 2.5% - dragged down by declines in China,The economic and social conditions of 2019 now seem like a very distant past - the fortunes of the leading animal health companies will be substantially different this year compared to the most recent fiscal 12 months. However, with the last of the majors recently filing their 2019 annual results, Animal Pharm editor Joseph Harvey provides an overview of a year where animal health showed a reduced amount of growth.The key takeaway from fiscal 2019 was continued growth for most of the top animal health players, despite the impact African swine fever (ASF) had on the Asian pork industry. 2019's rankings give a snapshot of the industry ahead of the impending effect of COVID-19 on sales and the upcoming acquisition of Bayer Animal Health by Elanco.
