The global veterinary orthopedics market size is estimated to reach USD 956.94 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.85% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is driven by the increasing animal population, the prevalence of pet obesity, incidence of orthopedic disorders in pets, adoption of pet insurance, and the number of orthopedic surgeries on pets. Moreover, increasing technological advancements in veterinary devices and implants are expected to contribute to market growth. According to FEDIAF and internal GVR estimates there were about 12.6 million pet dogs and 12.9 million pet cats in the UK in 2023. This number is notably greater than the 9 million pet dogs and 7.5 million pet cats estimated in 2018.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the market as the number of elective surgeries went down due to lockdown and quarantine measures. Access to veterinary care and services was also restricted, further dampening the demand for vet orthopedic products. In March 2020, the Harmony Veterinary Center in compliance with government guidelines suspended all its elective procedures, surgeries, and dentistry services during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, by 2021, the market resumed its growth as the underlying drivers remained unchanged and is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period.
According to Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 60% of cats and 56% of dogs were estimated to be overweight/obese in the U.S., in 2018. This percentage increased to 61% of cats and 59% of dogs estimated to be overweight or obese in 2022. Obesity increases pressure on joints and bones that may lead to surgical interventions. The most common orthopedic surgeries carried out on canines were femoral head osteotomy, bones fracture repair, cruciate ligament repair, and medial patellar luxation. The prevalence of osteoarthritis in animals is increasing because of obesity, which is boosting the demand for veterinary orthopedic devices and surgeries.
