The global veterinary X-ray market size is expected to reach USD 1.06 billion by 2030, according to this report. The market is expected to grow at a lucrative CAGR of 6.31% from 2023 to 2030. The key factors driving the market growth include a rise in the prevalence of orthopedic diseases in animals, a growing pet population, increased animal health spending, high pet insurance, and a rise in the number of veterinary practitioners.
Similarly, the rising prevalence of chronic disease in pets due to obesity is contributing to market growth. Pet obesity has become an epidemic in the U.S. as per The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP) 59% of dogs and 61% of cats classified as overweight or having obesity in 2022. Obesity causes chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis that frequently require diagnosis and surgical intervention. According to Banfield Pet Hospital, the most common osteoarthritis conditions affecting dogs and cats in 2017 were arthritis/DJD, tendon or ligament conditions, and hip and pelvis conditions. This results in increased use of X-rays for disease diagnosis.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant growth in the pet industry by establishing new trends such as increased pet ownership and animal spending. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted negatively on a variety of industries worldwide. The pandemic had a significant impact on the healthcare industry. The unexpected outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic induced the implementation of strict lockdown restrictions in several countries, resulting in the shutdown of numerous vet facilities and a negative impact on global demand for veterinary x-ray imaging.
Pet adoption increased significantly during the pandemic, resulting in an expanded animal healthcare system and driving the veterinary x-ray market. Adoptions during the pandemic increased the emphasis on pet health, which is expected to drive the veterinary x-ray market growth over the forecast period.
Furthermore, the growing awareness and the need for advanced X-ray systems to diagnose the increasing bone and joint-related disease burden in animals are driving the growth of the veterinary X-ray market. For example, a study published in April 2020 titled 'Risk Factors for Canine Osteoarthritis and Its Predisposing Arthropathies: A Systematic Review' found that osteoarthritis affects nearly 20% of all dogs over the age of one year in the studied population in North America. It was also reported that osteoarthritis in dogs is more common in the UK, with a prevalence ranging from 2.5% to 6.6%. Since osteoarthritis is generally associated with joint pains, the disease's high prevalence generates demand for X-ray diagnosis, driving the market growth during the forecast period.
Moreover, to gain a larger market share, some players are focusing on providing innovative products. These advanced products, which have built-in detector connections, faster and safer low-dose X-ray technology, and are simple to use and install, are gaining popularity over traditional systems. For instance, in February 2021, Fujifilm introduced VXR Veterinary X-Ray Room, a Veterinary Imaging Digital Radiography System. This new X-ray room's advanced design is intended for vets who wish to transfer to high-quality, minimal radiation with a cost-effective, flexible, easy-to-use, and simple-to-install system.
