The veterinary diagnostic imaging market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.2 billion in 2024 to $2.37 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including a rise in pet ownership, growing awareness of animal healthcare, an increase in demand for pet insurance, a heightened focus on preventive care, and the growing number of veterinary practices.

The veterinary diagnostic imaging market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.19 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. Looking ahead, the growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by the expanding animal population, increasing awareness about animal welfare, the adoption of telemedicine in veterinary care, growth in livestock production, and the rising demand for more accurate diagnostic tools. Major trends for the forecast period include advancements in diagnostic technologies, rapid innovation in imaging equipment, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) for veterinary diagnostics, the integration of machine learning in diagnostic tools, and advancements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems.

The growing animal population is expected to drive the expansion of the veterinary diagnostic imaging market. This increase is attributed to factors such as rising pet ownership, improved animal healthcare, and a greater demand for livestock, all of which contribute to food security, sustainable agriculture, and stronger human-animal relationships. Veterinary diagnostic imaging plays a crucial role in animal healthcare by enabling precise diagnoses, improving treatment outcomes, and monitoring health conditions, ultimately enhancing overall animal well-being. For example, in November 2024, the American Veterinary Medical Association reported that the dog population in the U.S. grew from 53.4 million in 2023 to 59.8 million in 2024. Thus, the growing animal population is a key driver of the veterinary diagnostic imaging market.

Companies operating in the veterinary diagnostic imaging market are increasingly focusing on AI-powered solutions, such as veterinary X-ray interpretation, to improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce turnaround times, and enhance patient care in veterinary settings. AI-powered veterinary X-ray interpretation uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to assist veterinarians in analyzing radiographic images (X-rays) of animals. This technology improves diagnostic accuracy, accelerates decision-making, and alleviates the workload of veterinary professionals by automating the detection of abnormalities and providing detailed analysis. For instance, in January 2024, SignalPET LLC, a US-based company offering AI-based solutions for veterinary practices, launched SignalSTAT, an AI-powered X-ray interpretation solution. This system provides quick and accurate assessments with expert oversight, guaranteeing a 45-minute turnaround time, available 24/7. By combining AI with human expertise, SignalSTAT ensures rapid and precise interpretation of veterinary X-rays, optimizing diagnostic efficiency and enhancing care. The technology is built on continually improving machine-learning algorithms that get better over time through global use by veterinarians.

In June 2023, Mars Inc., a US-based food company, acquired Heska Corporation to strengthen its science and diagnostics division. This acquisition enables Mars Petcare to integrate Heska's advanced veterinary diagnostic products, expanding its capabilities in imaging, telemedicine, and software. By doing so, Mars Petcare aims to drive innovative solutions for pet health and broaden its offerings in the veterinary care market. Heska Corporation is known for developing and manufacturing veterinary diagnostic imaging technologies for companion and other animals.
