The global over-the-counter (OTC) veterinary drugs market is on the verge of substantial growth, with a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.9% from 2023 to 2033. According to recent market analysis, the industry is set to achieve an impressive market share of USD 19.01 billion by 2033, a significant rise from its estimated value of USD 8.8 billion in 2023.
This rapid expansion of the OTC veterinary drugs market is largely attributed to the rising adoption of dogs and cats as beloved family members, a trend that has surged in the post-pandemic era. As more people integrate pets into their households, there is an increasing focus on their nutrition, health, and overall well-being. This evolving pet ownership dynamic is driving the demand for OTC veterinary drugs, which are favored for their convenience and accessibility.
A key factor fueling the market’s growth is the trend among pet owners seeking easy-to-access solutions for their pets’ health needs. The convenience of obtaining OTC veterinary drugs without the need for a veterinarian’s prescription has led to a notable increase in their use. This shift is further supported by recent regulatory changes that have made OTC veterinary drugs more widely available. With evolving legal frameworks promoting self-care for pets, consumers now enjoy greater access to a broader range of veterinary products, simplifying the procurement process and enhancing pet care.
The OTC veterinary drugs market is set to thrive as these trends continue to shape the industry, offering pet owners an accessible and convenient option for maintaining their pets’ health and well-being.
