The Global Animal Drug Compounding Market Size is valued at 2.07 billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach 4.12 billion by the year 2031 at an 8.17% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
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%.

Based On Animal Type, The Companion Animals Segment Is Valued As A Major Contributor In The Animal Drug Compounding Market
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%.
