Veterinary supplements market seen reaching $6.71 billion by 2030

The global veterinary supplements market is forecast to grow from $5.29 billion in 2026 to $6.71 billion by 2030, fueled by rising pet ownership, preventive care demand and premium animal nutrition. North America leads today, while Asia-Pacific is projected to grow fastest.

Why it matters: - Veterinary supplements are moving from a niche product category into a broader animal health spend category. - Growth is tied to more pet owners, more preventive care, and higher spending on companion animals. - The market’s expansion also reflects rising demand in livestock and aquaculture, not just pet care.

The details: - Veterinary supplements are nutritional products designed to support animal health, immunity, growth and overall wellness. - The market has grown on the back of more pet owners, greater awareness of animal nutrition, expansion in livestock production, more animal health issues and higher spending on companion animal care. - Expected growth drivers through 2030 include customized animal nutrition products, premium pet wellness items, preventive veterinary care, aquaculture and livestock expansion, and more natural and organic supplement options. - Key product trends are expected to include preventive health supplements, natural and herbal formulations, digestive and gut health products, functional nutrition for pets, immune support and stress-relief supplements. - North America held the largest market share in 2025. - Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing regional market. - The report also covers South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, South America, the Middle East and Africa.

Between the lines: - The forecast suggests pet care is becoming more health-managed and less reactive. - Preventive products and premium formulations are likely to capture more of the category as owners treat pets more like family members. - The inclusion of livestock and aquaculture points to a broader commercial market than the headline pet-supplement story suggests. - UK pet ownership data cited in the report underscores the demand base: 17.2 million UK households, or 60% of the population, have at least one of the country’s 36 million non-aquatic pets. - UK Pet Food also reported about 13.5 million dogs and 12.5 million cats, with both categories up by roughly 1.5 million. - The trade association said 38% of households, or 10.9 million homes, acquired a new pet in the past four years.

What’s next: - The market is likely to keep shifting toward customized, natural and preventive formulations. - Regional growth in Asia-Pacific could narrow the gap with North America over time. - Additional demand should come from expanding pet populations and continued spending on animal wellness products.

The bottom line: - Veterinary supplements are set for steady global growth, with pet ownership trends and preventive care making the category more central to animal health spending.
