The U.S. companion animal osteoarthritis market size was estimated at USD 776.97 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 4.19 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 22.55% from 2025 to 2033. Key factors expected to drive the market include the rising prevalence of osteoarthritis, increasing R&D initiative, emerging novel treatments, and increasing awareness campaigns.
The U.S. companion animal osteoarthritis (CA OA) market is undergoing robust growth, fueled by innovation,
increased clinical awareness, and broader access to diverse treatment options. A convergence of advanced therapies,
preventive care initiatives, and owner-driven demand is reshaping how OA is managed in pets, particularly dogs. One of the most promising developments is the advancement of gene therapy, exemplified by CureLab Veterinary’s
ElenaVet, which demonstrated a remarkable 90% success rate in reducing pain and improving mobility in dogs with OA. This breakthrough highlights a shift toward disease-modifying approaches that offer longer-term benefits compared to conventional pain management therapies.
At the same time, veterinary-led awareness campaigns-as reported by DVM360-are raising the standard of care by emphasizing early detection, mobility screening, and proactive OA management. This growing clinical emphasis has led to better-informed pet owners and more timely treatment initiation, expanding the overall addressable market.
Complementing these efforts is the increasing availability of nutritional supplements specifically formulated for canine OA. The recent U.S. launch of a new supplement (DVM360) provides a non-prescription option for managing early-stage or adjunctive care, especially for cost-conscious pet owners or those seeking holistic solutions.
In parallel, regenerative therapies, such as stem cell treatments, are gaining momentum in specialty practices and progressive clinics. As outlined by Fitzpatrick Referrals, these therapies offer minimally invasive solutions that focus on joint restoration rather than symptom suppression-aligning with rising expectations for long-lasting, restorative care.
Further strengthening the market is a growing pipeline of oral therapeutics, including Can-Fite and Vetbiolix’s Piclidenoson, currently in advanced clinical development. This A3 adenosine receptor agonist is positioned to offer a convenient, non-invasive treatment option with global peak sales projected to exceed $445 million by 2034. Its progress reflects strong investor and clinical confidence in oral OA therapies as viable alternatives to injectables and NSAIDs.
In conclusion, the U.S. CA OA market is being driven by a comprehensive, multi-modal evolution-from cutting-edge gene and cell therapies to increased practitioner education and owner engagement. This diversified ecosystem improves patient outcomes and solidifies the U.S. as a global front-runner in advancing osteoarthritis care for companion animals.
