The global animal wound care market size was estimated at USD 1.08 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.92% over the forecast period. The market is primarily driven by factors, such as the rising adoption of companion animals, increasing demand for veterinary surgeries, and growing animal injury cases. For instance, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, over 1 million animals die each year due to road accidents, with several million animals getting injured.

Trupanion, a pet insurance company, observed 1.3 million pet insurance enrollments as of June 2022. It observed 32% growth in the second quarter of 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic affected millions of people and businesses around the world. It financially impacted as well as put other implications on most of the veterinary fields, including the animal wound care market. The postponement and cancellation of elective surgeries in animals due to nationwide lockdowns resulted in a decline in postoperative wound cases, thus impacting the industry's growth. Furthermore, on March 2020, the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE) stated that many small- and medium-sized veterinary businesses were facing a period of financial difficulty in the initial stage of the pandemic.
