Dublin, Jan. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Animal Drug Compounding Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2031 - By Product, Technology, Grade, Application, End-user, Region: (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global animal drug compounding market, valued at approximately US$ 1.4 billion in 2024, is poised to experience substantial growth, reaching a projected valuation of US$ 2.2 billion by the end of 2031, according to the latest industry report.
Alternate Flavored Dosage Forms Gaining Popularity
One of the key drivers propelling the growth of the animal drug compounding market is the increasing popularity of alternate flavored dosage forms. Unlike conventional veterinary medications, compounded animal pharmaceuticals offer a variety of dosing strengths and alternative dosage formats, making it easier for pet owners to administer medication to their animals.
Compounded medications are often designed in appealing flavors such as tuna for cats, treats, biscuits, or meat-flavored forms for dogs, and concentrated liquids with fruit flavors for birds. This innovation in dosage forms significantly enhances patient compliance and opens up avenues for future revenue generation.
Lack of Interdisciplinary Training and Contaminated Compounded Drugs Pose Challenges
However, the growth of the animal drug compounding market faces challenges. The lack of qualified and experienced practitioners in the field of animal health is a major obstacle. Some veterinarians, without specific expertise in pharmaceutical compounding, offer compounding services, which can pose risks to animal health due to the potential for inaccurate medications.
Additionally, there is a concern about the quality and safety of compounded veterinary pharmaceuticals. Adulterated compounded drugs have been reported, leading to harmful effects on animals. The need for strict regulatory oversight to ensure the safety and effectiveness of compounded drugs remains crucial to the industry's growth.
