Animal Euthanasia Market Summary

The global animal euthanasia market size was estimated at USD 1.58 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.68 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.47% from 2025 to 2033. The market is experiencing growth driven by increasing pet ownership, demand for humane end-of-life care, and the need for disease control in both companion and livestock animals.

Growing awareness of ethical euthanasia practices and the expansion of mobile and in-clinic veterinary services further fuel the growth. One of the primary factors driving the demand for animal euthanasia services is overcrowding in shelters. Many shelters operate with limited space and financial resources, making it difficult to care for large numbers of stray or surrendered animals. As a result, euthanasia is often used as a last resort when adoption or rehoming is not feasible. According to the ASPCA, an estimated 920,000 dogs and cats are euthanized annually in U.S. shelters, including about 390,000 dogs and 530,000 cats, mainly due to overpopulation and limited capacity.

Additionally, the growth of the animal euthanasia industry is also driven by the rising pet ownership, increasing awareness of humane end-of-life care, and the need for disease control in both companion and livestock animals. For instance, in January 2025, Memphis Animal Services (MAS) euthanized nearly 100 dogs following a canine distemper outbreak traced to a litter of puppies, closing the shelter until further notice to contain the virus and protect both animals and the community. Such large-scale, disease-driven euthanasia events highlight the critical role of shelter medicine and emergency protocols, potentially increasing demand for veterinary euthanasia drugs, mobile euthanasia services, and disease-prevention measures.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
