Livestock Animal Rehabilitation Services Market Size Worth $371.42 Million By 2030

Livestock Animal Rehabilitation Services Market Growth & Trends

The global livestock animal rehabilitation services market size is expected to reach USD 371.42 million by 2030, expanding at 11.87% CAGR from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is largely driven by the factors such as improving access to veterinary care in rural farm areas, the rising number of farm animal rehabilitators, and the growing livestock population in developing nations. Furthermore, rising awareness among farmers about the availability of various rehabilitation therapies, and the increasing prevalence of diseases such as lameness, affect the mobility of livestock.

Livestock species are often exposed to several risks of potential injuries in farm zones. For instance, cattle species are frequently reported with wounds like hoof cracks, back injuries, and joint trauma & sprains, which lead to severe pain, inflammation, lameness, and immobility. For lame livestock species, regardless of the cause, the rehabilitation therapies such as lasers are known to provide beneficial effects. In addition, other therapies, such as manual massages and hydrotherapy, are performed significantly in cattle and ruminant species to treat muscular or joint inflammations. Furthermore, increasing adoption rates of non-invasive therapeutic procedures in food-producing animals also enhance their healthy productivity with fewer medications.

The market was negatively impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic owing to the closure of rehab centers with limited access to veterinary care. The announcement of nationwide lockdowns and movement restrictions led veterinary rehabilitators and farmers to face obstacles in obtaining non-invasive therapies during the year 2020. However, the market quickly recovered in the following year with ease of restrictions coupled with resumed veterinary clinics & hospital admissions.

The government and animal healthcare/welfare organizations worldwide are collaboratively implementing strategies & programs to support veterinary care in rural farms. For instance, the livestock population in the rural areas of Europe is supported by the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE) Organization. The organization helps spread advanced veterinary care therapies with smart management of already available infrastructure in vet clinics & hospitals. However, the sudden shortages of veterinary professionals in rural practices hamper the market growth. For instance, a recent survey by the FVE Organization estimates that 70% of veterinarians in German cattle practice are finding more challenges in recruiting new practitioners in the country’s rural areas.

The stable growth in livestock populations around the globe is further supporting the growth of the livestock animal rehabilitation services industry. According to the data published on January 2023 by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the cattle and calves population in the country totaled 89.3 million. The same source reported that the total cattle stock number in India reached 306.9 million for the fiscal year 2022, compared to 305 million in 2021. Furthermore, the rehabilitation therapies offered for ruminant species (sheep/goats/lambs) by small animal or pet rehab centers are expected to propel the market growth significantly.
