The global veterinary video endoscopy market size is anticipated to reach USD 336.76 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.77% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The major factors driving growth include an increase in companion and livestock animal populations, an increase in diagnostic and interventional procedures in companion and livestock animals, and technological advancements. For instance, the National Agricultural Statistics Service of the US Department of Agriculture estimated the 2022 U.S. cattle and calves population at 98.8 million. Further to that, the application of bovine endoscopy provides livestock veterinarians with an alternative, highly useful, and minimally invasive tool for assessing livestock health and treating and diagnosing farm animals. As a result, the demand for video endoscopy is expected to increase over the coming years.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the market. Low demand and sales were reported by market participants as a result of many challenges including dampened demand, supply chain bottlenecks, reduced marketing and selling activities, and movement restrictions. Lockdown measures, particularly those implemented at the national and regional levels, resulted in a reduction in patient flow at veterinary clinics and hospitals. This reduced demand for veterinary devices such as endoscopes.
According to an April 2020 survey of veterinary practice owners conducted by the American Veterinary Medical Association, almost all respondents experienced a decrease in client traffic. Practice owners reported an estimated average monthly cash shortfall of about USD 17,000 due to a decline in revenue and costs incurred to ensure the continuity of operations. However, the patient volume and sales started to recover during the latter half of 2020, as movement restrictions were eased.
Technological advancements in veterinary endoscopes, as well as growing demand from pet owners for less painful, minimally invasive procedures for their pets, are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. KARL STORZ SE & Co. KG, for example, provides a diverse range of veterinary endoscopes, including livestock animal video endoscopes, Hopkins telescopes, small animal fiberscopes, EquiVeo video endoscopes, ureters-reno-fiberscopes, otoscopes, multi-purpose rigid telescopes, hysteroscopes, as well as others. These devices are designed to meet the requirements of various procedures and animals of various sizes.
