Market Growth Factors

Pet ownership grows and the human-animal bond closes for the growth of the pet cancer therapeutics market. To an increasing extent, pets are seen as part of the family, with consumers willing to pay for newer therapies. Market growth will progress through 2030 because demand exists for treatments. These treatments will help improve the quality of life and longevity of pets.

Veterinary oncology advanced. Earlier cancer diagnosis became possible so earlier intervention followed. Veterinary oncology's continuing research and technological advances show the promise of genetically targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and novel therapies that may be tailored to an individual patient, suggesting that cancer may become a treatable disease in pet animals using these technologies.

As a society, the pet is viewed as a valued family member, resulting in an increased expenditure by an owner to provide effective therapy (including cancer therapeutics) to improve their pet's outlook. This increase in cost enables greater research efforts to develop new, advanced therapies for the treatment of cancers in dogs and cats.
