The global pet dewormers market size is expected to reach USD 3.98 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.61% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Some key factors driving the market growth are awareness and education efforts regarding parasitic worms, the growing importance of parasite control in pets, the emergence of new parasitic worms, and growing R&D initiatives. Studies show a high prevalence of parasites in pets across the U.S., EU, and UK, with parasitic worms and vector-borne diseases (VBDs) like Lyme disease and heartworm spreading to new areas. Parasites such as ticks, fleas, and leishmania can transmit diseases to humans, correlating with pet infection rates. For instance, leishmaniosis has significant fatality rates in Brazil, and flea infestations can persist for months without intervention.
Furthermore, low compliance rates among pet owners globally highlight untapped market potential for deworming products. In the Netherlands, UK, and Portugal, only 5-16% of pets follow recommended deworming practices, signaling a need for increased education and product adoption. Regional veterinary councils (CAPC, ESCCAP, TROCCAP) play a crucial role in setting guidelines and promoting effective parasite control.
The growing prevalence of parasitic diseases and, subsequently, the rise in the importance of parasitic control in pets is expected to drive market growth rapidly. Parasites such as fleas, ticks, mites, and worms pose lifelong risks to pets, causing discomfort, disease, and potential transmission of zoonotic illnesses to humans, especially vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, or immunocompromised individuals. Global factors like rising pet populations, climate change, and increased mobility are expanding parasite prevalence and geographic spread, necessitating effective control measures. For instance, according to the May 2024 article by Animal Friend Life reported that weather conditions in Australia have led to a rise in roundworm infections among dogs as well as humans. Spread of parasitic worms like Toxocara roundworms has affected around two million Australians. Many pet owners, i.e., around 25%, have admitted to never deworming their dogs. Experts have recommended regular deworming, prompt disposal of pet feces, and avoiding raw meat diets for pets to tackle this situation in its early stages.
