Companion Animal Medicine Market Size is valued at USD 22.2 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 54.5 billion by the year 2034 at a 9.5% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
The incidence of dental diseases detected in dogs in the U.K. was 14.10%, and the prevalence of skin illnesses was 12.6%, according to a 2021 article in the BMC Veterinary Research Journal. Market expansion is being fueled by rising veterinary visits and the uptake of pet insurance. For instance, the pet insurance provider Trupanion reported that as of June 2022, there were 1.3 million pet insurance enrollees. In the second quarter of 2021, it experienced a 32% growth.
The COVID-19 epidemic had a significant effect on the market. Low demand, supply chain interruptions, difficulties with research efforts, and decreased sales were only a few negative repercussions. For instance, working capital constraints and a decline in demand caused Elanco's revenue to fall by 10.0% in the first quarter of 2020.
The pandemic had a negative impact on Merck's animal health division's revenue in Q2 2020 of USD 100 million. Despite the COVID-19 outbreak, some businesses reported positive financial results or no change. For example, Calier announced that its companion animal section had a successful year. The company even introduced Dynacan Spot-On, an external parasiticide for dogs, cats, and ferrets. The line-up of veterinary medications and non-medical items from Vetoquinol helped boost sales in 2020. Yet with a faster growth rate in 2021, the use of e-commerce sales channels and remote assistance platforms has allowed the sector to realise its full potential.
The Companion Animal Medicine market is segmented by animal type, product, distribution channel, and indication. The market is segmented as dogs, cats, and horses based on animal type. By the product, the market is segmented into Biologics (Vaccines (Attenuated Live Vaccines, Inactivated Vaccines, Recombinant Vaccines, Toxoid, Others)), Pharmaceuticals (Parasiticides, Anti-infectives, Anti-inflammatory, Analgesics, Others) and Medicated Feed Additives. By distribution channel, the market is segmented into Retail, E-commerce, Hospital Pharmacy. By indication, the market is segmented into Infectious Diseases, Dermatologic Diseases, Pain, Orthopedic Diseases, Behavioral Diseases, Other Indications.
Dogs dominated the market and made up the most significant portion of sales. On the other hand, the cat market is predicted to grow at a profitable CAGR over the next few years. This is because dogs and cats are very popular as pets, canine and feline diseases are becoming more common, and many medications are available for animals.
The pharmaceuticals segment led the market regarding products and accounted for over the total revenue. This is because many medications for companion animals are available and because there is a growing market for parasiticides and other products to treat common illnesses in animals. For instance, the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) reports that in 2022, there will be a significant increase in Lyme disease, heartworm infections, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis among pets in the United States.
The majority of the revenue came from North America. This was brought about by activities from both the public and private sectors, pet insurance's growing popularity, and important businesses' existence. According to the NAPHIA (North American Pet Health Insurance Association, Inc.) American Pet Health Insurance Association, by the end of 2021, 3.45 million pets in the United States and Canada were covered by insurance.

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

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.
