Trupanion, a pet insurance company, observed 1.3 million pet insurance enrollments as of June 2022. It observed 32% growth in the second quarter of 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic affected millions of people and businesses around the world. It financially impacted as well as put other implications on most of the veterinary fields, including the animal wound care market. The postponement and cancellation of elective surgeries in animals due to nationwide lockdowns resulted in a decline in postoperative wound cases, thus impacting the industry's growth. Furthermore, on March 2020, the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE) stated that many small- and medium-sized veterinary businesses were facing a period of financial difficulty in the initial stage of the pandemic.

It also reported that the revenue for veterinary healthcare declined by 50% in various European countries. However, the industry growth has shown a quick recovery during the last quarter of 2020 and from 2021, owing to the resumption of veterinary clinic admissions and the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Increasing demand for animal protein and advancement in livestock wound care products are other factors boosting the industry growth. For instance, Santa Cruz Animal Health offers a wide range of bovine supplies, such as topical hydrogel and other advanced wound care products for cattle.

On the other hand, animals, such as dogs, are often likely to get injured with minor or serious wounds. One of the common injury cases reported among dogs is trauma caused by accidents. Road accidents are a frequent cause of major trauma, such as bone fractures, internal & external injuries, bleeding & organ trauma, joint dislocations, head trauma, and skin wounds, such as rashes. Animals get injured in various scenarios, which can be severe and require immediate veterinary wound care for stitches, infection prevention, etc. On account of the increasing pet adoption and animal population globally, the industry will have significant growth.

Therefore, the demand for veterinary wound care and surgeries is simultaneously rising among veterinary centers, which is expected to boost the industry's growth. Moreover, stringent government regulation related to pet well-being is further contributing to industry revenue generation. For instance, it is illegal to willfully neglect, wound, injure or maim an animal under the criminal code of Canada. Provinces and territories also have laws regarding the care and treatment of farm animals, which is supporting industry growth. Federal legislation in Europe has mandated the use of post-operative treatment/care in animals.
