The pet supplements market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.12 billion in 2023 to $2.26 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to several factors including the increase in pet ownership, recommendations from veterinary professionals, the trend toward humanizing pets, a growing population of aging pets, and an increasing awareness regarding preventive care for pets.

The pet supplements market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.98 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The forecasted growth is driven by premium pet products, personalized nutrition, increased healthcare spending, e-commerce dominance, and innovative delivery formats.

The increasing concerns about animal welfare are poised to be a significant contributing factor to the growth of the pet supplements market in the future. Animal welfare relates to the conditions in which animals are managed and live. Pet supplements play a crucial role in addressing nutritional needs and treating various diseases, thereby enhancing animal welfare. As of April 2023, data from the American Pet Products Association (APPA), a US-based trade organization, projects a growth in sales for over-the-counter (OTC) medicine and wellness products from $31.5 billion in 2022 to $32.1 billion in 2023. Additionally, the sales of veterinary care and products are expected to increase from $35.9 billion in 2022 to $37.0 billion in 2023. This indicates a growing market for products aimed at improving the health and well-being of pets, driven by heightened concerns about animal welfare. Consequently, the rise in these concerns is expected to drive the pet supplements market forward.

The anticipated increase in expenditure on pet food is expected to drive the growth of the pet supplement market in the future. Pet food, designed for consumption by pets, is commonly sold in pet stores and supermarkets. The humanization of pets has led to a notable shift in consumer behavior, with pet owners increasingly considering their pets as integral family members. This shift in mindset is reflected in the willingness of pet owners to increase spending on pet food. As expenditure on pet food rises, there is a corresponding trend of investing in pet supplements to ensure the health and well-being of pets. For instance, as of October 2023, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US-based government agency, indicates that U.S. households spent an additional US$4.29 billion, marking a 12.5% increase, on pet food compared to the previous year. Overall pet care spending increased by US$2.73 billion, or 2.7%, reaching a total of US$102.71 billion. This notable increase in spending on pet food underscores the growing trend of prioritizing pet health, thereby driving the growth of the pet supplement market.

Prominent players in the pet supplements market are actively engaged in the development of novel products to address the escalating demands of pet owners. These companies are not only introducing innovative applications and offerings but are also venturing into new segments such as vegan supplements. A noteworthy example is Opal Pets, a US-based vegan animal nutrition provider, which unveiled its latest offering, Perfect Powder, in September 2022. Perfect Powder represents a comprehensive vitamin supplement designed to cater to the needs of pets on a plant-based diet. Enriched with essential elements including calcium, B vitamins, amino acids, L-carnitine, taurine, and other vital minerals for dogs, this powder is formulated using organic Canadian sea kelp and Omega 3s sourced from algae. Opal Pets' strategic move aligns with the industry's commitment to meet the evolving preferences of pet owners and diversify product portfolios to accommodate emerging trends in pet supplementation.

Prominent players in the pet supplements market are placing a strategic emphasis on collaborative efforts to enhance the provision of reliable services to their customers. Strategic collaboration entails a mutually beneficial partnership wherein two or more independent entities join forces to pursue shared goals that align with their respective strategic objectives. Illustratively, in December 2023, Everroot, a US-based dog supplement provider, forged a strategic partnership with Laila Ali Lifestyle, a US-based health supplement provider, resulting in the launch of EverRoot Dog Supplements Soft Chews. This innovative collaboration is geared towards simplifying and enhancing the process for pet parents to ensure their dogs receive essential nutrients crucial for optimal health and well-being. Through such strategic collaborations, major companies in the pet supplements market aim to leverage synergies and provide comprehensive solutions that meet the evolving needs and preferences of pet owners.
