U.S. Pet Therapeutic Diet Market Summary

The U.S. pet therapeutic diet market size was estimated at USD 1.47 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.64 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.71% from 2025 to 2033. Some of the key growth drivers for the market include the rising prevalence of chronic health conditions among pets, such as obesity, kidney disease, and gastrointestinal disorders.

Other factors, such as growing biotechnological innovations efforts in pet nutrition, efforts for educational awareness, a rise in pet insurance coverage for prescription foods, and pet humanization, where owners seek specialized, vet-recommended nutrition, are also expected to further fuel the growth. Nestlé, a key leading player in this industry, in May 2025, unveiled a major enhancement of its R&D capabilities, specifically emphasizing biotechnology, clinical research, and deep technology, to advance precision nutrition and pet therapeutics. This strategic initiative incorporates cutting-edge methodologies such as precision fermentation, screening assays, and development of biotics, including next-generation postbiotics and synbiotics. These advances are designed to yield scientifically validated ingredients with proven bio-efficacy. They enable highly targeted nutritional solutions tailored to pets throughout their lifespan-from early life and healthy aging to therapeutic diet applications.

By streamlining its R&D structure and prioritizing high-impact projects in close alignment with commercial teams, the company aims to accelerate innovation efficiency and responsiveness. Such intensified investments in biotech and clinical research signal a push into the expanding functional and therapeutic pet nutrition sector, reflecting rising consumer demand for science-backed, health-oriented pet diets. Given the company’s standing as a leading player in the global pet care industry, these innovation efforts are likely to influence market dynamics strongly in the U.S. pet therapeutic diet segment, driving growth and setting new expectations for evidence-based dietary products designed to manage or prevent health conditions in pets.

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.
