The animal parasiticides market is mainly driven by growing awareness about zoonotic diseases, implementation of animal welfare acts in developed countries, availability of broad spectrum parasiticides product offerings by leading players, increasing demand for animal protein and animal-based food, and upsurge in the animal welfare awareness leading to the worldwide adoption of companion animals such as cats and dogs, among others. However, the overall market growth during the forecast period is slightly dampened by several factors such as restrictions on the use of parasiticides in food-producing animals in some countries, stringent regulations for approval of animal parasiticides, and expensive and time consuming new product development procedures.

The global market is segmented on the basis of product type, animal type, and geography. Based on the type of product, the market is divided into three segments namely, endoparasiticides, ectoparasiticides, and endectocides. The endoparasiticides are classified into feed additives, injectables, oral liquids, tablets (oral solids), and others. The ectoprasiticides are classified into dips, sprays, pour on/spot on, collar, ear tags, and others.

By the type of animals, animal parasiticides market is divided into two major categories as companion animals and food producing animals. These major animal segments are further subdivided into different animal types. Companion animals include dogs, cats, horses and other companion animals while food producing animals include poultry, pigs, cattle, sheep and goats, and other food producing animals.
