Animal Drug Compounding Market Size is valued at 2.36 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach 5.15 billion by the year 2034 at an 8.2% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
As more pet parents learn about the benefits of compounded drugs, which is projected to inspire more people to adopt them, the market will expand. The industry has also seen potential due to the rising need for individualized and specialized medications for companion animals and the expanding animal population and longer life spans. Furthermore, a rise in the prescriptions for animal-compounded medicines is anticipated to fuel market expansion. The FDA reports that 6.3 million prescriptions for compounded animal medications are written by veterinarians each year in the United States.
Like many other global businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic had a detrimental effect on the market for animal medication compounding in 2020. According to reports, supply chain interruptions, a decline in sales, a decrease in demand, and operational difficulties brought on by changing regulations and policies are the most critical effects of COVID-19 on the veterinary healthcare system. Due to widespread lockdowns and limitations on the movement of persons and commodities, manufacturing companies, pharmacies, and veterinary service providers were severely impacted. For instance, the American Veterinary Medical Association reports that the coronavirus outbreak caused the cancellation or delay of around 60% of veterinary services in April 2020. By July 2020, the number had fallen to roughly 30%.
The Animal Drug Compounding market is segmented based on animal type, product, route of administration, and dosage form. Based on animal type, the market is segmented as Companion Animals, Dogs, Cats, Others, and Livestock Animals. The product segment includes Anti-infective Agents, Anti-inflammatory Agents, Hormones & Substitutes, CNS Agents, and others. By route of administration, the market is segmented into Oral, Injectable, Topical, and Others. The dosage form segment includes Suspensions, Solutions, and Capsules.
By animal type, the companion animal market accounted for the highest proportion of the global animal medication compounding market in 2022. Similarly, it is anticipated that over the next few years, the companion animal segment will expand at the fastest rate, exceeding 8%. This market is developing as a result of factors like an increase in the number of companion animals, rising pet care costs, increased knowledge of animal medicine compounding among pet owners and veterinarians, and the many advantages it offers companion animals.
While CNS agents are the most frequently prescribed treatment for treating neurological problems such as a change in behaviour, blindness, seizures, etc., in pets, these sectors dominated the global market for animal drug compounding. In veterinary medicine, a variety of pharmacological classes are employed as CNS or psychotropic drugs. Among them are anxiolytics, anticonvulsants, tranquillizers, analgesics, sedatives, antidepressants, antipsychotics, and others. Several CNS agents are available from businesses like Wedgewood Pharmacy that are formulated for particular medical conditions.
During the forecast period, Asia Pacific is anticipated to have the fastest CAGR. The rise in pet humanization, rising costs for veterinary treatment, and the accessibility of affordable animal compounded pharmaceuticals are the leading causes of the expansion. A surge in demand for compounded veterinary pharmaceuticals, notably for pets and non-food-producing animals in the region, as well as increased investment by international players to enhance their presence in this region, are also projected to fuel the market's expansion.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
