Veterinary Diagnostic Services Market To Reach $24.31 Billion By 2030

Veterinary Diagnostic Services Market Growth & Trends

The global veterinary diagnostic services market size is projected to reach USD 24.31 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 8.28% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing need for early disease diagnosis due to growing concern about animal health is one of the key factors driving the market growth. Furthermore, the rising prevalence of chronic disorders, including cancer, obesity, and diabetes, and the need for effective disease diagnosis in animals is expected to supplement market growth. For instance, as per the American Kennel Club report published in February 2020, 56% of canines are recorded as obese in the U.S. The risk of joint problems, developing cancer, diabetes, and various other chronic diseases is significantly increased by obesity. The adoption of veterinary diagnostic services increased because of the regular diagnosis of glucose levels due to the pet owners' growing concern. In addition, the rising demand for point-of-care treatments and improved diagnostic tests is fueling the market's growth. It includes a variety of dermatology tests to detect dermatophytes, ELISA, and PCR for detecting parasites and viruses, including parvovirus, leishmania, hepatitis, coronavirus, etc.

In addition, the rising prevalence of zoonotic diseases such as avian influenza in livestock animals is increasing the demand for veterinary diagnostic services, driving the growth of the market. For instance, in April 2022, the Government of Canada issued a report on avian influenza; according to the report, multiple bird species, including turkeys, ducks/chickens, geese, and peafowls, were infected with avian influenza in 33 EU countries in March 2022. All livestock species were affected by the disease, which caused an increase in molecular diagnostic tests for the disease's diagnosis, leading to increased demand for in-vitro veterinary diagnostic services. Thus, the growing demand for in-vitro and in-vivo diagnostic services is contributing to market growth.

The pandemic had a favorable effect on the veterinary diagnostic services industry, induced by the sudden rise in the number of people owning cats and dogs, animal humanization movements, and the expansion of telemedicine platforms.Government rules forced the suspension of numerous healthcare services, particularly veterinary diagnostics services, which had a significant impact on the market for veterinary diagnostics as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. For instance, according to a JAAWS article from February 2022, COVID-19 caused the closure of 70% of veterinary hospitals in Canada & the U.S. in 2020. To reduce the COVID-19 infection, veterinary diagnostic services were suspended, which initially hindered the growth of the market. Furthermore, the pandemic increased prognostic awareness among pet owners to prevent pet diseases with timely treatments. This factor is expected to propel the market growth in the long run.

The rapidly aging pet population and the growing risk of various chronic diseases associated with age are among the key factors likely to drive routine diagnosis and respective high expenditure on pets by owners. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, veterinarians often prescribe senior pets to undergo wellness testing programs, including routine check-ups, complete blood count, biochemistry profile, urinalysis, and thyroid hormone testing, to detect ongoing or prognostic health problems. Moreover, the growing demand for advanced veterinary diagnostic tests for senior pets in developed and developing countries is also contributing to market growth.
