Market Segmentation

The Italy animal healthcare market share is classified into product and animal type.

• The therapeutics segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The Italy animal healthcare market is segmented by product into therapeutics (vaccines, parasiticides, and more) and diagnostics (immunodiagnostic tests, molecular diagnostics, and more). Among these, the therapeutics segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The therapeutics segment dominates the market because preventive and treatment products like vaccines and parasiticides are essential for maintaining animal health. Rising pet ownership and increasing livestock production require regular disease prevention and management. Therapeutics offer immediate and tangible benefits, reducing mortality and improving productivity. In contrast, diagnostics, while important, are primarily supportive tools. The continuous need for vaccines, medications, and parasite control ensures higher adoption and consistent demand, driving the segment’s market dominance over diagnostics.

• The dogs segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The Italy animal healthcare market is segmented by animal type into dogs, cats, and more. Among these, the dogs segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The dog segment dominates the market for healthcare products and services. Owners increasingly prioritize preventive care, vaccinations, parasite control, and treatments to ensure their pets’ well-being. Additionally, rising awareness of pet health, lifestyle changes, and the trend of treating pets as family members drive consistent spending on veterinary care. This makes the dog segment larger and more profitable than cats or other animals.
