The North America and Europe veterinary telehealth market size is anticipated to reach USD 279.0 million by 2028. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 19.0% from 2021 to 2028. The market is primarily driven by the increasing number of pets. For instance, in 2019 about 67.0% of American households (or 84.9 million American homes) owned a pet, as per data released by the American Pet Products Association (APPA). Compared to the 2017 data wherein about 60.2 million American households owned at least one pet dog, the 2019 data was significantly greater, showing an upward trend in the pet population. Rising humanization of pets and pet expenditure are other factors expected to drive the market growth. An increase in the number of veterinary hospitals and pet care clinics is also expected to contribute to market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic had an intense effect on the veterinary care market. According to the CEO of Animal Policy Group, the adoption of pets increased along with the adoption of veterinary telehealth in order to follow social distancing norms. Deb Leon, CEO of WhiskerDocs, stated that their business experienced a 30% surge during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additionally, in response to the pandemic, the USFDA relaxed its Federal VCPR requirements, temporarily. This allowed veterinarians to practice telemedicine without an on-premises animal examination or a pre-existing veterinarian-client relationship. Given the temporary nature of this policy, the FDA plans to reassess it periodically to either revise or withdraw the guidelines, as necessary. However, this catalyzed the adoption of veterinary telehealth. Governments of various states across the U.S. also recognized the impact, and many of them added veterinary care to the list of essential services covered by telehealth under emergency measures. Even post-COVID, the trend of increased usage of these solutions is expected to continue.
The demand for livestock products is growing in developing and developed economies. This has led to greater concern over the health of livestock. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Statistics Service, as of January 2021, the number of cattle and calves in the U.S. was 93 million and that of beef cows was 31.0 million, respectively. Monitoring livestock health is important in order to secure the food supply. Telemonitoring solutions are increasingly adopted to monitor livestock farms to keep track of herd health in real-time and to gain actionable insights.
