The pet cancer therapeutics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of animal cancer treatments has expanded swiftly in the past few years. This progression is expected to continue, growing from $0.39 billion in 2024 to $0.43 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The historic period's expansion can be credited to factors such as the increase in pet ownership, developments in veterinary science, heightened consciousness about pet wellness, treating pets more humanely, and the broadening scope of veterinary services.
The Pet Cancer Therapeutics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the pet cancer therapeutics market is anticipated to experience a swift expansion. It is projected to increase to $0.65 billion in 2029, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%.
The expected growth within the forecast period is linked to factors such as the rising elderly pet population, advancements made in cancer treatments, an increase in veterinary oncology services, pet insurance and healthcare plans, and the global proliferation of pet care services. Key trends forecasted for this period encompass a surge in nutraceuticals and integrative therapies, enhanced availability of targeted diagnostic tests, collaboration between veterinary and human oncology sectors, the release of innovative chemotherapeutic agents, and the growth in awareness and education of pet owners.
The augmentation in the amount expended on pet healthcare is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the pet cancer therapeutics market in the future. This spend entails the costs on veterinary services, medication, and other health-related necessities for pets. The observed surge in healthcare expenditure for pets is an indicator of pet owners' increasing readiness to invest in their pets' health, thereby potentially fuelling the demand for pet cancer treatments. The 2023 State of the Industry Report by the North American Pet Health Insurance Association (NAPHIA), a US pet health insurance group, revealed a telling 22% increase in insured pets in the US, reaching 4.8 million by the end of 2022, as compared to the previous year. Therefore, the escalating outlay on pet healthcare is what's propelling the pet cancer therapeutics market.

Leading firms in the pet cancer therapeutics sector are adopting cutting-edge technologies such as epigenetics to augment the accuracy and effectiveness of cancer treatment, thereby bettering prognosis for pets diagnosed with cancer. Epigenetic technology pertains to techniques that alter gene behavior without affecting the basic DNA structure, often impacting cellular conduct and potential treatment consequences. For instance, in April 2024, a international epigenetics firm based in the United States named VolitionRx Limited introduced the Nu.Q Vet Cancer Test. The test is run on the Element i+ Analyzer and provides speedy results, typically in around 6 minutes. It employs an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to identify circulating nucleosomes in the bloodstream, which could signify cancer's presence.
