This comparatively low growth rate is related to the trend towards endectocides, which in most cases include a heartworm claim.

Market by Treatment

Endectocides are forecast to grow fastest at a CAGR X% In relation to type of treatment, ectoparasiticides accounted for the largest share of the companion animal parasitology market in 2020 with a X% share, but this is expected to drop to X% by 2035. The decrease in market share can be attributed to the past and future launch of endectocides that offer more convenience to the pet owner thanks to their 'one-product-fits-all' characteristic. Endoparasiticides accounted for the smallest share of the canine and feline parasitology market in 2020 with X% share. This is expected to drop even more and is again related to the aforementioned trend regarding endectocides. With a CAGR of X%, endectocides are expected to drive growth in the companion animal market substantially. We project this segment to grow from $X billion in 2020 to $X billion in 2035.
