In an era where pets are increasingly viewed as family members, the companion animal genetics market is experiencing unprecedented momentum, driven by breakthroughs in genetic testing and a global shift toward preventive veterinary care. According to the latest comprehensive analysis, the market, valued at USD 865.1 million in 2025, is forecasted to expand at a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%, reaching USD 1,932.7 million by 2035. This growth trajectory underscores the industry’s pivotal role in enhancing animal health, breeding practices, and personalized medicine for companion animals like dogs, cats, horses, and others.
As pet ownership soars worldwide—fueled by urbanization, changing lifestyles, and emotional bonds—the demand for advanced genetic services has never been higher. Industry leaders are capitalizing on this trend by integrating cutting-edge technologies such as DNA-based diagnostics, genotyping, and assistive reproductive tools. These innovations not only help identify hereditary conditions and disease risks but also empower breeders and pet owners with data-driven decisions to promote healthier lineages. “The companion animal genetics sector is at the forefront of veterinary innovation, transforming how we approach pet health from reactive to proactive,” said a representative from Zoetis Services LLC, a dominant player in the market. “By leveraging genetic insights, we’re not just treating illnesses—we’re preventing them, ensuring longer, happier lives for our furry companions.”

Market dynamics reveal a clear path forward, with key drivers including the rise in pet humanization, where owners treat animals with the same care as human family members, leading to increased spending on veterinary services. Advancements in AI-driven genetic analysis tools and precision breeding are accelerating adoption, particularly in regions with strong veterinary infrastructure. Investments in research collaborations between companies, universities, and institutions are yielding new genetic markers and diagnostic kits, further propelling growth. However, challenges such as the need for stringent testing accuracy and limited awareness in emerging markets could temper expansion if not addressed through education and infrastructure development.
Segmentation analysis highlights the market’s diversity and targeted opportunities. By product type, genetic disease testing commands the largest share at 57% in 2025, focusing on hereditary condition identification and preventive care strategies. Genomic/genetic testing follows closely at 43%, aiding in breed verification, parentage confirmation, and early disease detection. Assistive reproductive technologies, though smaller at 9%, play a crucial role in propagating desirable traits via methods like artificial insemination and embryo transfer.
When broken down by animal type, dogs dominate with a 49% market share, reflecting their popularity and the extensive genetic databases available for breed composition, health predispositions, and trait inheritance. Cats and horses also represent significant segments, with specialized testing for mutations, hereditary conditions, and performance characteristics. The broad “companion animals” category captures emerging demand for tailored solutions across other pets, supported by investments in species-specific panels.
Regionally, North America leads with a 38% share, bolstered by high pet ownership rates, advanced veterinary networks, and substantial spending on genetic services. The United States, with a projected CAGR of 7.1%, exemplifies this through widespread adoption of tele-veterinary platforms and online genetic test kits. Europe follows suit, with Germany (9.6% CAGR), France (8.8% CAGR), and the UK (8.0% CAGR) emphasizing precision care, preventive programs, and animal welfare. In East Asia, China’s explosive 11.3% CAGR is driven by rising middle-class pet ownership and government-backed veterinary genomics initiatives, while Japan’s and South Korea’s markets thrive on biotech collaborations.
South Asia & Pacific regions are hotspots for growth, with India’s 10.5% CAGR attributed to urban adoption, awareness campaigns, and e-commerce for genetic kits. Latin America, led by Brazil’s 6.3% CAGR, sees increasing focus on pedigree pets and genomic panels. The Middle East & Africa, including Saudi Arabia and South Africa, present untapped potential through accessibility improvements and innovation partnerships.
Distribution channels further illustrate market accessibility, with private sectors—encompassing veterinary clinics and commercial testing companies—holding a commanding 76% share. These channels offer direct-to-consumer platforms that make genetic testing convenient and actionable. Public channels, while smaller, support institutional efforts in research and welfare.
The competitive landscape is vibrant, featuring established giants and innovative specialists. Zoetis Services LLC stands out with its extensive network and integrated solutions for disease risk assessment and breed verification. Neogen Corporation excels in breeding-focused tests, while Antech Diagnostics Inc. provides broad diagnostics for susceptibility and carrier detection. Direct-to-consumer leaders like Embark Veterinary Inc. and Basepaws are democratizing access, offering ancestry tracing and breed insights for dogs and cats, respectively. Academic players such as UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory ensure rigorous, research-backed testing, and niche providers like ZOOGEN and Orivet Genetic Pet Care address specific breeds and disorders. Strategies among these players include portfolio expansion, accuracy enhancements, and collaborations to drive innovation in AI analysis, multi-marker panels, and breed databases.
Looking ahead, opportunities abound in emerging markets through digital transformation and industrial expansion. The integration of genetic testing into routine veterinary workflows, coupled with tele-veterinary services and insurance coverage for preventive care, will likely accelerate adoption. Recent developments, such as AI-powered tools and advanced genomic panels for cardiac, orthopedic, and metabolic disorders, signal a future where genetic disorders are minimized through informed breeding and personalized plans.
