Description Jump to:
The global veterinary healthcare market size reached US$ 40.2 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 64.0 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.75% during 2023-2028.

Veterinary healthcare refers to a subset of science that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of various diseases in animals to expand their lifespan. It involves several services, including regular monitoring of animal health and deployment of medicated animal feeds, diagnostic products, drugs, and vaccines for limiting the spread of zoonotic diseases amidst animals and people. These amenities are extensively provided by the sole traders, pharmacies, veterinary hospitals, clinics, and laboratory testing services. At present, veterinary healthcare facilities are available for both companions and livestock animals.

Veterinary Healthcare Market Trends:

The global veterinary healthcare market is majorly being driven by the increasing prevalence of various zoonotic, food-borne, and chronic diseases, such as cancer, especially amongst cats and dogs. This is further supported by the emerging trend of pet humanization and the increasing concerns of pet owners toward animal health, which, in turn, is facilitating the demand for preventive and more sophisticated veterinary services and therapeutic and diagnostics treatments. In line with this, significant technological advancements, such as the introduction of veterinary health information systems for efficient data management, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. These devices assist in diagnosing animal health, facilitating real-time analysis of disease fluctuations, recording information on cloud-based platforms, and sharing essential veterinary clinic-generated data with clinicians and researchers directly through the internet. Moreover, the availability of favorable medical reimbursement policies and the extensive investments by the governments of various countries for implementing animal vaccination programs is contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, strategic collaborations amongst key players to launch various veterinary health products in distinctive flavors and taste, along with their easy availability across different online and offline distribution channels are further stimulating the market growth.
