Increasing Pet Ownership Bolstering the Growth of the Veterinary Healthcare Industry

The market for veterinary healthcare is being aided by the growing pet ownership, especially by the millennial and Gen-Z population. Pet parents are increasingly focusing on boosting the quality of life of their pets, due to which the demand for pet vaccines is significantly surging. The demand for optimal animal health is further fuelled by the growing trend of pet therapy and pet humanisation. As the prevalence of pet therapy as an alternative treatment is becoming popular among the young population, the market for veterinary healthcare is poised to grow.

The prevalence of various chronic illnesses in pets is increasing the demand for optimal veterinary healthcare. The rising demand for clinical examination by pet parents is surging the deployment of ultrasound and X-ray technology for diagnosis in pets. As cancer is one of the most common diseases in pets such as cats and dogs, the demand for effective therapeutic treatments for the disease is increasing. Moreover, the rising availability of techniques such as computed axial tomography and magnetic resonance imaging for pets is also bolstering the quality of veterinary healthcare, therefore significantly contributing to the market growth.
