Based on animal type, the global veterinary wound cleansers market is segmented into companion animals and livestock animals. The companion animals segment dominated the market and was valued at USD 117.8 million in 2023. The companion animals segment is further sub-segmented into dogs, cats, and other companion animals.
 

• The dominance of the companion animals segment is majorly attributed to the growing pet expenditures and a focus on pet health by pet owners.
   
• For instance, as per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average U.S. household spends approximately USD 770 annually on pets, with total spending reaching USD 136.8 billion in 2022—a notable 11% increase from USD 123.6 billion in 2021.
   
• This rising financial commitment reflects owners' prioritization of healthcare solutions like wound cleansers that prevent infections.
   
• Moreover, these animals, particularly active ones like dogs, are prone to minor injuries from outdoor activities or interaction with other pets. This frequency of injuries, coupled with regular surgeries like spaying and neutering, drives demand for accessible wound cleansers.
   
• These factors collectively contribute to the strong growth trajectory of the companion animals segment within the market.
