Cosmos Health Inc. ("Cosmos Health" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:COSM), a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group, today announced the extension of its C-Scrub antimicrobial wash brand into the veterinary and animal health sector through the planned launch of a veterinary formulation of C-Scrub Wash 4%, marking the Company's first entry into the animal health market.
The Company intends to launch the veterinary formulation in the United Kingdom, where C-Scrub is already an established and commercially active human-use brand, with broader international expansion to follow.
The global animal health market was estimated at approximately $68.7 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $156.0 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 11.0%, according to Grand View Research.
Brand Extension into Animal Health
C-Scrub Wash 4%, manufactured by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Cana Laboratories S.A., is a commercially available human-use antimicrobial skin cleanser.
The Company is now extending the C-Scrub brand into the veterinary space following successful independent testing of C-Scrub Wash 4% according to European veterinary disinfectant standards.
This extension leverages the existing product, manufacturing infrastructure, and brand equity of C-Scrub to address a distinct and rapidly growing segment within animal healthcare.
