What Are the Projected Growth and Market Size Trends for the Over-The-Counter (OTC) Pet Medication Market?
The market size for over-the-counter (OTC) pet medications has seen significant growth in the past few years. Expected to increase from $8.73 billion in 2024 to $9.3 billion in 2025, an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% is anticipated. This growth throughout the historical period can be credited to rising trends in pet humanization, a growing demand for more convenient pet care, the expansion of retail channels, a surge in pet ownership, and changes in the regulatory landscape.

Anticipated robust expansion will be seen in the over-the-counter (OTC) pet medication market in the forthcoming years, with predictions to reach a size of $11.81 billion in 2029. The expansion is anticipated at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. This expected surge within the forecast period is said to be due to changing mindsets towards pet health, enhanced understanding of preventative care regimes, a boost in pet ownership, a widening range of product availability, and an increased need for over-the-counter (OTC) pet medications. Key trends predicted to drive the market in the forecast period encompass the inclusion of telemedicine in veterinary care, growth in natural and organic product lines, tailored pet health solutions, the rise of online shopping platforms, and a greater emphasis on preventative care.

What Factors Are Propelling the Expansion of the Over-The-Counter (OTC) Pet Medication Market?
The increasing number of pet owners is projected to boost the over-the-counter (OTC) pet medication market's expansion in the future. Pet ownership entails the legal and moral duty to care for and govern a tamed animal as a friend. The surge in pet ownership can be attributed to factors such as companionship and emotional support, enhanced standard of living, urbanization, altering family dynamics, and heightened recognition of the healthful advantages of owning pets. Over-the-counter (OTC) pet medications offer several perks for pet owners, making the task of taking care of their pets more manageable and effortless. These medications are readily available and reasonably priced, thus advocating for appropriate pet care by executing immediate solutions for regular health issues. For example, as per the data released in October 2023 by the American Pet Products Association, a not-for-profit association based in the US, around 86.9 million US households owned a pet, constituting 66% of households in 2022. Furthermore, as cited by Animal Medicines Australia, an association based in Australia endorsing animal health, in November 2022, around 69% of Australian households had pets in 2022. Therefore, the expanding pet ownership is fueling growth in the over-the-counter (OTC) pet medication market.
