Based on our analysis of 1,850 global animal health transactions between 2021 and 2025, here&#8217;s the evidence, and what it means for you, whether you&#8217;re exploring a sale or simply watching the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The recovery is real, and PE built it<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Global deal volume fell after 2022, then recovered to 406 deals in 2025, up 46% since 2021 and within 7% of the 2022 peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That recovery has one clear author. PE funds and PE-backed platforms made up 54% of all acquirers in 2025, the highest share and highest volume (around 220 deals) in five years. Take PE out of the picture, and the recovery barely happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Europe and North America drive 85% of this activity, so for most owners in the sector, this isn&#8217;t a distant trend. It&#8217;s happening in your market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"987\" height=\"652\" data-id=\"59535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Animal-health-acquisitions_Feed-n-Additive-Article.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Animal-health-acquisitions_Feed-n-Additive-Article.png 987w, https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Animal-health-acquisitions_Feed-n-Additive-Article-767x507.png 767w, https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Animal-health-acquisitions_Feed-n-Additive-Article-800x528.png 800w, https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Animal-health-acquisitions_Feed-n-Additive-Article-200x132.png 200w, https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Animal-health-acquisitions_Feed-n-Additive-Article-1x1.png 1w, https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Animal-health-acquisitions_Feed-n-Additive-Article-500x330.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 987px) 100vw, 987px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1001\" height=\"649\" data-id=\"59543\" src=\"https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Buyer-locations_Feed-n-Additive-Article-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Buyer-locations_Feed-n-Additive-Article-1.png 1001w, https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Buyer-locations_Feed-n-Additive-Article-1-800x519.png 800w, https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Buyer-locations_Feed-n-Additive-Article-1-199x129.png 199w, https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Buyer-locations_Feed-n-Additive-Article-1-767x497.png 767w, https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Buyer-locations_Feed-n-Additive-Article-1-1x1.png 1w, https:\/\/www.investec.com\/advisory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Buyer-locations_Feed-n-Additive-Article-1-500x324.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The buyer landscape has genuinely changed.

One type of buyer dominated, and owners had one obvious kind of conversation to have when they wanted to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By 2025, that disappeared. Financial buyers reached 22%, their highest share in five years, and sponsor-backed platforms held 32%. Three buyer types, each active, each competing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s the real shift: not just that PE is bigger, but that owners now have more than one credible path to a deal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Owners today have a wider set of potential buyers and deal structures to consider than they did two years ago.

When its founder explored a sale and succession, he trusted Investec Advisory to lead the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 15 employees, VievePharm was the kind of business most buyers overlook. We didn&#8217;t. Two decades in animal health showed us what the headcount didn&#8217;t: a leading bolus technology range, export relationships across 25+ markets, and real platform potential. We took the opportunity to nine countries globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The response exceeded expectations. 10 parties, from listed corporates to private equity houses, competed for the business. We guided the founder to the best outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The buyer was Zenex Animal Health, one of India&#8217;s largest animal health companies, backed by Multiples Equity. They saw VievePharm as its new European base. Investec closed the deal on excellent terms for the founder and his family, well ahead of what a domestic-only search would likely have achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than being absorbed product line, VievePharm now operates as Zenex&#8217;s European platform, with production and jobs retained locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Investec Advisory<\/strong><br>For over two decades, we&#8217;ve advised founders, companies and private equity firms on their M&amp;A transactions.
