세계 동물용 구충제 시장 규모는 2025년에 129억 6,000만 달러로 평가되며, 2026년 138억 2,000만 달러에서 2034년에는 237억 3,000만 달러로 성장하여, 2026년부터 2034년까지 연평균 성장률(CAGR) 6.99%를 기록할 것으로 예측됩니다. 북미는 반려동물 사육 마릿수의 증가, 동물성 단백질에 대한 수요, 동물 건강에 대한 인식 제고, 그리고 주요 기업들의 강력한 제품 라인업에 힘입어 2025년에는 30.48%의 점유율로 세계 시장을 선도했습니다.
동물용 구충제는 동물의 기생충 감염을 예방, 치료 및 제어하기 위해 사용되는 제품입니다. 이 제품들은 진드기, 벼룩, 옴진드기 등의 외부 기생충은 물론, 선충이나 원생동물 등의 내부 기생충까지 처리합니다. 반려동물과 가축의 기생충 감염 증가와 더불어, 수의학 및 예방 치료의 확대가 시장 성장을 뒷받침하고 있습니다.
시장의 정의 및 범위
동물용 구충제 시장은 반려동물 및 가축 모두에 사용되는 제품을 대상으로 합니다. 이 시장은 제품 유형, 동물 종류, 투여 경로 및 유통 채널별로 세분화되어 있습니다. 주요 제품 카테고리에는 외부 구충제, 내부 구충제, 그리고 내외부 구충제가 포함되며, 유통 채널로는 동물병원, 약국·드럭스토어, 수의병원 등이 있습니다.
시장 역학
시장 촉진요인
동물성 단백질 수요 증가는 시장을 견인하는 주요 요인입니다. 축산 농가들은 동물의 건강 유지, 생산성 향상 및 질병 예방을 위해 기생충 관리 솔루션을 점점 더 많이 도입하고 있습니다. 유엔 식량농업기구(FAO)는 동물성 단백질 생산이 지속적으로 증가할 것으로 전망하고 있으며, 이는 효과적인 기생충 관리에 대한 수요를 뒷받침하고 있습니다.
반려동물 사육 마릿수의 증가도 또 다른 중요한 촉진요인입니다. 기생충 감염은 피부 염증, 탈모, 물림 상처 및 기타 건강 문제를 유발할 수 있으므로, 반려동물 주인들은 예방적 치료를 도입하고 있습니다. 또한, 조에티스, 엘란코, 빌백과 같은 대기업들의 존재도 제품 공급과 혁신을 뒷받침하고 있습니다.
시장 억제요인
항기생충제에 대한 내성은 큰 제약요인으로 작용하고 있습니다. 이러한 제품을 과도하거나 부적절하게 사용하면 기생충의 유전적 적응을 초래하여 감염 통제가 더욱 어려워질 수 있습니다. 2025년 3월, NOAH는 항기생충제의 책임 있는 사용을 장려하기 위해 ‘Use It Right, Treat Them Right’ 캠페인을 시작했습니다.
시장의 기회
반려동물 시장의 확대는 큰 기회를 창출하고 있습니다. 반려동물 사육 마릿수의 증가와 반려동물의 ‘인간화’로 인해 기생충 예방 제품에 대한 수요가 높아지고 있습니다. 인수공통감염병에 대한 인식 제고 또한 반려동물 주인들이 정기적인 기생충 예방 프로그램을 지속하도록 유도하고 있습니다.
시장의 과제
위조품이나 규격 미달의 구충제는 소비자의 신뢰와 브랜드 평판에 악영향을 미칠 수 있습니다. 유사한 포장은 혼란을 초래할 우려가 있으며, 효과가 없거나 유해한 제품은 정식 치료제에 대한 신뢰를 훼손할 위험이 있습니다. 2025년 6월, 영국 당국은 위조된 벼룩 구제제에서 유독한 살충제가 검출되어 고양이에게 심각한 중독 증상을 일으켰다고 경고했습니다.
시장 동향
연구개발 투자 증가가 주요 동향으로 나타나고 있습니다. 기생충의 약물 내성 문제로 인해 기업과 생명공학 기업들은 새로운 치료법 및 대체 작용기전의 개발에 주력하고 있습니다. 2025년 7월, ASTRA Therapeutics는 진핵생물 병원체 및 기생충과 관련된 위협을 대상으로 한 의약품 개발을 위해 890만 달러의 시드 자금을 조달했습니다.
The global animal parasiticides market size was valued at USD 12.96 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 13.82 billion in 2026 to USD 23.73 billion by 2034, registering a CAGR of 6.99% from 2026 to 2034. North America dominated the global market with a 30.48% share in 2025, supported by rising pet ownership, demand for animal protein, awareness of animal health, and strong product offerings from leading companies.
Animal parasiticides are products used to prevent, treat, and control parasitic infestations in animals. They address external parasites such as ticks, fleas, and mites, as well as internal parasites including worms and protozoa. Increasing parasite infections among companion and livestock animals, together with growing veterinary care and preventive treatment, is supporting market expansion.
Market Definition and Scope
The animal parasiticides market covers products used across companion animals and livestock. The market is segmented by product, animal type, route of administration, and distribution channel. Major product categories include ectoparasiticides, endoparasiticides, and endectocides, while distribution channels include veterinary clinics, pharmacies and drug stores, veterinary hospitals, and others.
Market Dynamics
Market Drivers
Increasing demand for animal protein is a major factor driving the market. Livestock producers are increasingly adopting parasite-control solutions to maintain animal health, productivity, and disease prevention. The FAO has estimated continued growth in animal protein production, supporting demand for effective parasite management.
Growing pet ownership is another important driver. Parasite infections can cause skin irritation, hair loss, bites, and other health problems, encouraging pet owners to adopt preventive treatments. The presence of major companies such as Zoetis, Elanco, and Virbac is also supporting product availability and innovation.
Market Restraints
Anti-parasiticide resistance is a significant restraint. Excessive or inappropriate use of these products can contribute to genetic adaptations in parasites, making infections more difficult to control. In March 2025, NOAH launched the "Use It Right, Treat Them Right" campaign to promote responsible use of anti-parasitic medicines.
Market Opportunities
The expansion of the companion animal sector is creating significant opportunities. Rising pet ownership and the humanization of pets are increasing demand for preventive parasite-control products. Growing awareness of zoonotic diseases is also encouraging pet owners to maintain regular parasite prevention programs.
Market Challenges
Counterfeit and substandard parasiticides can negatively affect consumer trust and brand reputation. Similar packaging may cause confusion, while ineffective or harmful products can reduce confidence in genuine treatments. In June 2025, U.K. authorities warned about toxic insecticides found in counterfeit flea treatments that caused severe poisoning in cats.
Market Trends
Increasing research and development investment is a key trend. Parasite resistance is encouraging companies and biotechnology firms to develop new therapies and alternative mechanisms of action. In July 2025, ASTRA Therapeutics secured USD 8.9 million in seed funding for drug development targeting eukaryotic pathogens and parasite-related threats.
By Product
Endoparasiticides held the largest market share in 2025, supported by the prevalence of internal parasites and new product launches. In July 2023, Boehringer Ingelheim received U.S. FDA approval for NexGard Plus, designed to provide protection against internal and external parasites.
By Animal Type
The companion animal segment dominated with a 52.9% share in 2025, supported by increasing pet ownership and greater focus on pet healthcare. The livestock segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.05%.
