Pet Diabetes Care Global Market Report 2025

The pet diabetes care market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.21 billion in 2024 to $2.4 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing awareness of pet health, advancements in veterinary medicine, prevalence of diabetes in pets, humanization of pets, increased focus on pet nutrition, awareness campaigns by veterinary organizations, availability of insulin and medications.

The pet diabetes care market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.46 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in pet insurance adoption, customized diabetes management plans, focus on preventive pet healthcare, globalization of pet health trends, increasing investments in pet healthcare research, rising consumer affluence. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in veterinary diagnostics, focus on pet obesity management, innovation in insulin delivery systems, rise in pet insurance coverage, increased availability of specialized pet foods:, telemedicine and remote monitoring, collaborations in veterinary medicine.

The forecast of 9.5% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariffs affecting imported glucose monitoring technologies and insulin delivery systems may raise device prices and complicate chronic disease management in pets. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The pet diabetes care market is anticipated to grow due to a rise in pet adoption. Pet adoption refers to bringing animals from shelters or rescues into homes, which is becoming more common than purchasing pets from breeders or stores. The annual diagnosis of diabetes in pets is increasing, largely due to lifestyle similarities characterized by sedentary behavior and a diet high in processed foods. For instance, in 2022, Animal Medicines Australia, a non-governmental organization based in Australia, reported a notable increase in pet ownership, with the number of pet owners reaching 28,730.8 in 2022, compared to 39% in 2021. This represents a 24% rise, indicating a strong upward trend in pet adoption and investment in pet care. The increase in pet ownership underscores the growing popularity of pets in Australian households. Therefore, the rise in pet adoption is driving growth in the pet diabetes care market.

The increasing demand for pet insurance is expected to propel the growth of the pet diabetes care market in the future. Pet insurance provides financial protection that covers a portion of the veterinary expenses associated with pet care, helping pet owners manage the costs related to their pets' healthcare needs. This insurance typically covers the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diabetes, influenced by factors such as the pet's age, breed, and location. For example, in May 2023, the North American Pet Health Insurance Association (NAPHIA), a U.S.-based health insurance organization, reported that 5.36 million pets were insured in North America in 2022, reflecting a 21.7% increase from the 4.4 million insured in 2021. Consequently, the rising demand for pet insurance is contributing to the growth of the pet diabetes care market.

Increased research and development efforts, along with the introduction of new products, are key trends gaining traction in the pet diabetes market. Various studies are underway to better understand diabetes in animals and simplify its management. Additionally, companies are launching new offerings, such as generic drugs, to maintain their competitive edge in the market. In December 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a scientific regulatory agency, approved a medication from Elanco Animal Health Inc. for cats suffering from a specific type of diabetes, marking it as the first oral medication authorized for this condition in animals.

Pet diabetes care addresses diabetes in pets, a condition that can lead to additional health issues such as heart disease, pancreatitis, urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and skin infections. Diabetes in pets arises from insufficient insulin production, its complete absence, or improper utilization, hindering the conversion of food into energy within their bodies.

The primary drug types within pet diabetes care comprise insulin therapy and oral medication. Insulin therapy aims to elevate peripheral glucose intake while reducing hepatic glucose synthesis, thereby regulating blood glucose levels in pets. Devices utilized for pet diabetes care encompass glucose monitoring devices and insulin delivery systems. These care measures cater to various animals such as canines, felines, and other species, implemented across veterinary clinics, home care settings, and veterinary hospitals.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a considerable impact on the veterinary healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and animal care products. Increased duties on imported veterinary medicines, diagnostic equipment, surgical tools, and pet care supplies have driven up operational costs for veterinary clinics, animal hospitals, and livestock health providers, forcing them to either raise service charges or absorb reduced profit margins. The livestock and agricultural industries are facing similar pressures, as tariffs on feed additives, vaccines, and breeding equipment push up production costs and complicate animal health management. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs in major export markets have weakened demand for U.S.-manufactured veterinary products, adding to revenue challenges. To navigate these headwinds, the sector must now focus on local sourcing, preventive healthcare strategies, and digital veterinary solutions to control costs while continuing to deliver quality animal care.
