A Growing Market with Expanding Applications

Veterinary diagnostics play a crucial role in ensuring animal health, whether through routine screenings, disease monitoring, or zoonotic disease surveillance. The market has demonstrated consistent growth, even through economic fluctuations, reflecting the rising consumer spending on companion animals and the critical role of diagnostic testing in food animal disease management. For IVD companies, this presents a lucrative opportunity to adapt human diagnostics for veterinary applications, leveraging cutting-edge technology to meet the increasing demand for rapid, accurate, and reliable animal health testing.

Market Segmentation & Key Drivers

The global veterinary diagnostics market is segmented into two primary areas:

  • Companion Animal Diagnostics – Fueled by increasing pet ownership and higher standards of veterinary care, this segment benefits from advancements in molecular testing, immunoassays, and digital imaging.
  • Food Animal Diagnostics – Critical for livestock disease prevention and food safety, this segment is led by infectious disease testing and surveillance programs aimed at ensuring agricultural productivity and preventing zoonotic disease outbreaks.
  • Other key market drivers include:
  • Advancements in Diagnostic Technology – The crossover of IVD platforms from human healthcare to veterinary medicine is revolutionizing disease detection, enabling more precise and efficient testing solutions.
  • Rising Demand for Disease-Specific Testing – From feline leukemia and bluetongue disease to zoonotic threats like brucellosis and avian influenza, specialized diagnostic tests are in high demand across global veterinary markets.
  • Regional Market Growth – The United States, Europe, and Asia Pacific lead the veterinary diagnostics industry, with increasing investment in animal health research and regulatory initiatives supporting market expansion.
