Veterinary Laboratory Testing Market Research Report: by Animal Type (Companion, and Livestock Animals), Technology (Clinical Biochemistry, Molecular Diagnostics, and Others), Product (Consumables, and Instruments), end user - Forecast Till 2027

Veterinary Laboratory Testing Market Overview:

The veterinary laboratory testing market is expected to rise at a CAGR of 10.1%, with a value of USD 2200 million over the estimated forecast year of 2020-2027.

Veterinary healthcare refers to a subset of science that deals with diagnosing, treating, and preventing 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 among animals and people. These amenities are extensively provided by the sole traders, pharmacies, veterinary hospitals, clinics, and laboratory testing services. Veterinary healthcare facilities are available for both companions and livestock animals.

The global veterinary healthcare market is driven by the increasing prevalence of various zoonotic, food-borne, and chronic diseases, such as cancer, especially among 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 introducing veterinary health information systems for efficient data management, are 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.
