The global veterinary orthopedics market is projected to grow at a steady pace in the coming years. Veterinary orthopedics involves the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system of animals. It addresses conditions such as fractures, ligament tears, arthritis, spinal problems, and others. With the rising rates of pet adoption and companion animal ownership, focus on pet health and wellbeing has increased tremendously. This has propelled the demand for various veterinary services including orthopedic care for pets. Furthermore, growing awareness among pet owners about advanced veterinary treatment options and customized implants and devices is boosting the veterinary orthopedics market growth. However, the high costs associated may limit market growth to some extent. Increasing pet healthcare expenditure and technological advancements in veterinary orthopedic surgeries and devices will be the key factors shaping this market.
Market Dynamics:
Global veterinary orthopedics market is witnessing robust growth driven by the increasing pet population, rising pet care expenditure, and technological advances. In January 2025, according to Forbes Media LLC., around 67.9 million American families own pets and 32% of the U.S. households own dogs. Surging pet adoption during the pandemic has further spiked the demand for veterinary services. However, high costs associated with orthopedic surgeries, implants, and veterinary care pose a major challenge to market growth. Moreover, lack of pet health insurance penetration in emerging nations restricts the affordability of specialized orthopedic treatments. Growing consumer awareness about advanced treatment options presents significant opportunities. Manufacturers are introducing low-cost and customized implants as well as 3D printed implants to expand access to orthopedic care. Significant developments in veterinary material science, robotics-assisted surgeries, minimally invasive procedures, and imaging are bringing transformative changes. These advancements are allowing vets to achieve better clinical outcomes, faster recovery times, and lower risks of post-operative infections which will fuel the veterinary orthopedics demand going ahead.
