"Designing Growth Strategies is in our DNA"
The global veterinary diagnostics market size was valued at USD 7.13 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 7.97 billion in 2024 to USD 17.60 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.4% during the forecast period (2024-2032). Veterinary diagnostics are tests carried out by analyzing blood, tissue, urine, or stool to detect disease presence, antibodies, proteins, or general indicators of overall health of various animals. The rising prevalence of veterinary diseases, increasing pet ownership, and growing government support to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases are projected to fuel the market growth.
Molecular and immunodiagnostic tests are commonly performed for the diagnosis of complex conditions. Such factors are augmenting the growth of the market. Moreover, increasing pet insurance demand and the establishment of new diagnostic laboratories by various industry players across the globe is expected to drive the veterinary diagnostics market growth. Similarly, significant efforts by key market players to launch new tests and strategic activities to expand their geographical presence propels the market expansion. For instance, in June 2023, Boule Diagnostics launched H50V, a new 5-part veterinary solution, for cost-effective diagnostics in Europe. It is equipped with 13 predefined animal profiles and over 30 analyzed parameters, making it a flexible system that meets the requirements of many veterinary clinics and laboratories.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a slight positive influence on the global market. In the first half of 2020, veterinary diagnostic services were halted due to travel restrictions and disruptions in the supply chain created by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the market witnessed overall growth during the pandemic as veterinary diagnostic clinics were reopened in the second half of 2020. In 2022, veterinary visits were back to the pre-pandemic levels. Such a scenario caused the companies’ revenue to stabilize. Owing to these factors, the market is anticipated to record a growth rate that was registered during the pre-pandemic period from 2024 to 2032.
Growing Adoption of Point-of-Care in Animal Diagnostics due to its Potential Advantages
Over the past few years, one of the most prominent trends in the market has been the growing adoption of point-of-care diagnostics for the veterinary process. The point-of-care techniques have improved diagnostics' speed, standardization, and efficacy. These techniques require limited healthcare personnel and can overcome the issue of cross-trained, less-experienced staff at diagnostic services.
Similarly, prominent players' increased focus and initiatives on developing point-of-care diagnostics are expected to drive the growth of the market.
More companies are launching new and advanced diagnostic tests to expand livestock and companion animal diagnostics globally. The growing technological advancements aid in the high adoption of these services, propelling the market expansion.

Increasing Outbreaks of Veterinary Diseases and Positive Government Support to Boost Adoption
Livestock disease outbreaks can be a severe economic burden for countries whose economies depend on animals. Thus, timely diagnosis of the animals becomes necessary. This is anticipated to contribute to the increased demand for veterinary diagnostics.
Active government support and increased awareness among livestock owners led to an increased demand for animal disease diagnostic tests and kits, which is projected to fuel the market growth. Similarly, certain laboratories funded by government bodies are enhancing early disease detection capabilities. This scenario is expected to fuel the growth of the veterinary diagnostics market.
Such initiatives are expected to boost the market expansion.
Rise in Pet Ownership and Willingness to Spend on Pet Well-being to Propel Growth Prospects
The rising number of pet owners can mainly be attributed to the growing trend of nuclear families and rapid adoption of modern lifestyles. Most households prefer to pet a dog or cat as compared to other animals. The increased disposable incomes and affection toward pet animals are primary factors leading to a surge in pet ownership.
The rising trend of adopting foster pets is also one of the reasons for increasing the number of pet owners. Along with the increasing pet ownership, rising investment by owners in their pets is another crucial factor propelling the demand for veterinary diagnostics. Such a rise in ownership and increased pet care spending are expected to drive the market growth.
Shortage of Skilled Veterinary Healthcare Providers to Hinder Industry Growth
One of the substantial hindrances to market growth is the lack of skilled professionals for veterinary diagnostics, especially in major emerging countries. Generally, well trained and qualified professionals are required to operate the highly advanced diagnostic tools. Shortage of skilled and qualified labor plays a significant barrier in the market.
As a result, veterinary care has remained partly inaccessible for many livestock owners in developed and emerging countries. Many animals remain deprived of veterinary assistance, subsequently impacting the demand for veterinary diagnostics.
Reagents & Consumables Segment to Dominate due to Increased Frequency of Veterinary Tests
In terms of product type, the market is segmented into reagents & consumables and instruments. The reagents & consumables segment held a significant market share in 2023. The segment growth is attributed to increased frequency and surge in spending on veterinary tests and services globally. The increased prevalence of animal diseases, growing disposable income, and a strong emphasis on developing advanced reagents and kits by leading players will further propel the market growth.
The instruments segment is projected to register a moderate CAGR over the forecast period. This is due to the rising number of veterinary hospitals and research institutes or initiatives for companion and livestock animals.
Immunodiagnostics Segment to Lead Driven by Growing Demand for Advanced Diagnostics
Based on technique, the market is segmented into hematology, immunodiagnostics, molecular diagnostics, diagnostic imaging, clinical biochemistry, and others. Immunodiagnostics segment dominated the global veterinary diagnostics market share in 2023. Immunodiagnostic tests have become a practical and widely used tool for diagnosing animal diseases due to its expanding application areas, such as detecting critical conditions, including arboviral disease.
The clinical biochemistry segment held a significant share in the global market. This is attributable to the growing number of diagnostic tests for the analysis of blood plasma/serum to detect the levels of various substrates, such as hormones, enzymes, proteins, electrolytes, and others, in the body.
The molecular diagnostics segment held a substantial market share in 2023. Significant product launches in this section augment the market growth. In June 2022, the University of Nairobi's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine launched a state-of-the-art Animal Health, Molecular, and Diagnostics laboratory. The lab is a collaborative initiative of the University of Nairobi and Washington State University through the Feed the Future program.
