The global veterinary hospital Market size is expected to reach USD 92.51 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.07% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing pet population is boosting the demand for veterinary clinics and hospitals around the world. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown restrictions led to a rise in the demand for companion animals. For instance, the number of pets in the UK has significantly increased. According to a recent survey conducted by the Pet Food Manufacturers Association, there are currently over 24 million cats and dogs living in the United Kingdom. The market is being driven by the increase in pet ownership, not just in the short term when kittens and puppies need shots, initial checkups, or neutering, but also considerably in the long term as they age into animals needing more veterinarian treatment and care.
The rapidly aging pet population and the availability of advanced pet care options are among the key factors likely to drive expenditure on pets by owners, which is the primary source of revenue growth for veterinary hospitals. Establishment requirements for veterinary hospitals are expected to improve mainly due to the high demand for animal care services for pets & animals food. With the increasing number of pets and pet owners, the focus on animal safety has grown in recent years. Rising concerns and increasing awareness about chronic diseases in companion animals have resulted in high expenditure on pet health. Large spending on animal care is expected to further boost veterinary visits and medication sales in hospitals. Owners are concerned about their pets and consult veterinarians for treatment of several health issues at an early stage. This is further boosting the demand for efficient treatment options, driving the market.
