Cat Vaccine Global Market Report 2026

A cat vaccine is a biological agent designed to safeguard cats from infectious diseases by activating their immune system to identify and combat specific pathogens. These vaccines use weakened or inactivated versions of viruses or bacteria responsible for diseases, which prompts the cat's immune system to generate antibodies without causing illness.

Ther main categories of cat vaccines are modified or attenuated live vaccines, inactivated vaccines, and others. Modified or attenuated live vaccines involve weakening the pathogen to prevent it from causing illness in cats. These vaccines address various diseases such as feline leukemia, feline panleukopenia, feline respiratory infections, and feline rabies. The available vaccine technologies include attenuated live vaccines, conjugate vaccines, inactivated vaccines, subunit vaccines, toxoid vaccines, DNA vaccines, and recombinant vaccines. They can be administered through different methods, including injections, intranasal, and oral routes. These vaccines are available through various channels, including veterinary clinics, pet stores, and online retailers.

Tariffs have influenced the cat vaccine market by affecting the cost and availability of imported vaccine components, raw materials, and advanced biotechnological equipment. These tariffs have increased production costs, particularly impacting segments like recombinant and DNA vaccines and regions heavily reliant on imports such as North America and Europe. While tariffs pose challenges in terms of cost pressures, they also encourage local manufacturing and innovation, potentially driving the development of cost-efficient vaccines and strengthening regional supply chains.

This cat vaccine market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The cat vaccine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.26 billion in 2025 to $1.38 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising incidence of feline infectious diseases, limited availability of advanced vaccines, growth of pet ownership, expansion of veterinary clinics, government vaccination initiatives.

The cat vaccine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.93 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to technological advancements in vaccine development, increasing demand for recombinant and dna vaccines, rising awareness of preventive healthcare in pets, expansion of online veterinary services, integration of ai and data analytics in disease monitoring. Major trends in the forecast period include increased adoption of core vaccination programs, growth of recombinant and dna vaccines, expansion of veterinary healthcare services, rising awareness of pet health and disease prevention, integration of telemedicine and remote monitoring in veterinary care.

The rise in zoonotic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the cat vaccine market. Zoonotic diseases are infections that can transfer from animals to humans through various pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. These diseases can be transmitted via direct contact, vectors, or contaminated environments. Common zoonotic diseases include Lyme disease, rabies, toxoplasmosis, salmonellosis, and brucellosis. Factors contributing to the increase in zoonotic diseases include climate change, antibiotic resistance, and wildlife trade. Cat vaccines help manage these diseases by reducing the risk of transmission from cats to humans. For instance, they protect against diseases such as toxoplasmosis and cat scratch fever. By vaccinating cats, the impact of zoonotic diseases on human health is mitigated, supporting public health and creating a healthier environment for both pets and their owners. According to a February 2024 report from the Government of the United Kingdom, England saw 335 confirmed cases of Lyme disease in the fourth quarter of 2023, up from 273 cases in the same period in 2022. This increase underscores the growing demand for cat vaccines driven by rising zoonotic diseases.

Key players in the cat vaccine market are innovating with products such as NOBIVAC NXT vaccines, which use advanced Ribonucleic acid (RNA)-particle technology to boost immune responses and enhance vaccine effectiveness. This technology involves RNA molecules encased in nanoparticles that deliver genetic instructions to cells, prompting them to produce specific proteins that trigger a targeted immune response. For example, in June 2024, MSD Animal Health Inc. launched the NOBIVAC NXT Rabies portfolio, including NOBIVAC NXT Feline-3 Rabies and NOBIVAC NXT Canine-3 Rabies. These vaccines offer robust protection against rabies for cats and dogs without adjuvants or preservatives, improving safety while maintaining efficacy. They stimulate both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses for comprehensive protection against the rabies virus.

In September 2024, Boehringer Ingelheim Group, based in Germany, acquired Saiba Animal Health AG, a Switzerland-based company specializing in cat vaccines. This acquisition aligns with Boehringer Ingelheim's strategy to expand its portfolio and leverage Saiba's expertise in the field.
