Global Animal Wound Care Market Size

Animal Wound Care Market Analysis

The Global Animal Wound Care Market size is estimated at USD 1.38 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.71 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.48% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, there was a significant impact on the animal wound care market. For instance, several studies have been conducted to understand the spread of coronavirus across pets worldwide. For instance, as per the article published in 2021 titled, 'Host traits, ownership behavior and risk factors of SARS-CoV-2 infection in domestic pets in Mexico,' IgG ELISA positive results were found in 31.8% of dogs and 27.3% of cats in Mexico's surveyed pets. As per the same source, the COVID-positive pet owner residing in the home or pet food purchased from a store had no impact on the health of the animal according to COVID-19. Moreover, the animal wound care market observed a setback in growth due to the disruption of the supply chain in the market studied.

The major factors attributing to the growth of the animal wound care market are the increasing initiatives by the governments and animal welfare associations and increased animal adoption and animal healthcare expenditure. The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) is committed to ensuring that all animal welfare standards, including veterinary healthcare, are science-based. It also recognizes that other factors must also be considered. The International Coalition for Farm Animal Welfare (ICFAW) was formed to represent the interests of non-governmental animal welfare organizations globally.

Moreover, the veterinary wound healing association conducted its conference in Paris on May 2022. The theme of the conference was 'Wound and Surgical Site Infections In The Modern Veterinary Clinic: Prevention And Treatment' and this theme addressed issues and queries that all veterinarians deal with daily. Surgical site infections (SSI) is one of the main issue faced by veterinarian, owner, and the animal. Therefore, the conference has given priority to the SSI considering the significance and necessity of a prompt cure for surgical site infections in pets and animals. Hence, the increasing government initiatives and rising animal welfare worldwide are helping in the growth of the market studied, as these initiatives are making people consider their pet's health as important.

Hence as per the factors mentioned above, the animal wound care market is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. However, the lack of well-designed comparative studies of wound healing products in cats and dogs and the high costs associated with veterinary healthcare restrain the market growth.
