Companion animal vaccines are substances designed to stimulate the production of antibodies and confer immunity against one or more diseases in pets, including dogs, birds, and cats. They serve not only to protect against diseases but also to enhance food digestion, boost immunity, promote weight gain, and generate high-quality meat for commercial purposes.
The primary types of companion animal veterinary vaccines are inactivated, live attenuated, recombinant, and other products. Recombinant vaccines are created using recombinant DNA technology, involving the insertion of DNA encoding an antigen (e.g., a bacterial surface protein) into bacterial or mammalian cells, expression of the antigen within these cells, and subsequent purification. These products can be administered through oral, parenteral, and other routes of administration and are distributed through various channels, including veterinary hospitals, veterinary clinics, pharmacies, drug stores, and other distribution channels.
Tariffs have moderately impacted the companion animal veterinary vaccines market by increasing costs of imported biological raw materials, adjuvants, and specialized manufacturing equipment required for recombinant and inactivated vaccines. These effects are most pronounced in recombinant and combination vaccine segments, with Asia-Pacific and Latin America experiencing higher price sensitivity due to reliance on imports. Veterinary hospitals and clinics face cost pressures that may slow vaccine uptake in price-sensitive regions. However, tariffs are also encouraging local vaccine manufacturing, regional supply chain strengthening, and investments in domestic R&D capabilities, creating long-term market resilience.

The companion animal veterinary vaccines market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.94 billion in 2025 to $4.19 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in companion animal population, increasing prevalence of infectious pet diseases, expansion of veterinary clinics and hospitals, rising awareness of animal vaccination benefits, improvements in cold chain vaccine distribution.
The companion animal veterinary vaccines market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.38 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing pet humanization trends, rising expenditure on pet healthcare, advancements in vaccine technology, growth in urban pet ownership, supportive government animal health initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of combination vaccines, increasing focus on preventive pet healthcare, growth in vaccination coverage for companion animals, expansion of recombinant and dna-based vaccines, rising demand for oral and less invasive vaccination routes.
The growing expenditure on pet health is expected to drive the growth of the companion animal veterinary vaccines market in the coming years. Pet health refers to the overall physical condition and well-being of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, small mammals, and other domesticated pets. Increased spending on pet health is being fueled by greater awareness among pet owners regarding the importance of preventive care and advanced medical treatments to help pets live longer and healthier lives. The companion animal veterinary vaccines market supports this rise in pet health spending by offering essential vaccines that help prevent diseases, lower the risk of serious illnesses, and reduce long-term veterinary treatment costs, encouraging pet owners to invest more in their pets' overall well-being. For example, in February 2025, according to a report published by Pet Business Professor, a U.S.-based agency, pet owners in the United States spent approximately $13.42 billion on pet services, representing an 8.5% increase from $12.36 billion in 2022, reflecting continued growth in grooming, boarding, and care-related services. Therefore, increasing expenditure on pet health is driving the growth of the companion animal veterinary vaccines market.
Major companies operating in the companion animal veterinary vaccines market are focusing on launching innovative vaccines, including recombinant DNA vaccines, to enhance the effectiveness and safety of immunization programs for pets. A recombinant DNA vaccine is produced by inserting genetic material from a pathogen, such as a virus or bacterium, into a harmless carrier organism or vector to stimulate an immune response. For instance, in March 2024, Zendal Group, a Spain-based biotechnology company, introduced Neoleish, the first recombinant DNA vaccine developed specifically to prevent canine leishmaniasis, in collaboration with the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Officially unveiled at the XLI Annual Congress of the Madrid Association of Veterinarians of Companion Animals, Neoleish demonstrated more than 90% effectiveness in reducing the risk of infection caused by the Leishmania infantum parasite.
In June 2023, Mars Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturing company, acquired Heska Corp. for approximately $1.3 billion. This acquisition reinforced Mars Petcare's veterinary care capabilities and supported its strategic focus on advancing pet health solutions. Following the acquisition, Heska became part of Mars Petcare's science and diagnostics division, including Antech Diagnostics. The integration expanded access to advanced diagnostic technologies, enhanced diagnostic services for veterinary professionals and pet owners, and accelerated research and development efforts in veterinary healthcare. Heska Corp. is a U.S.-based veterinary services company that specializes in the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of advanced veterinary diagnostics and related vaccines for canine and feline health.
