U.S. Veterinary Oncology Diagnostics Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Animal Type (Canine, Feline, and Others), Test Type, Cancer Type, and End Use – Market Forecast, 2025–2034

The U.S. Veterinary Oncology Diagnostics Market size is expected to reach USD 2,228.87 Million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “U.S. Veterinary Oncology Diagnostics Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Animal Type (Canine, Feline, and Others), Test Type, Cancer Type, and End Use – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The U.S. Veterinary Oncology Diagnostics Market is defined as the sector involved in providing the tools, technologies, and services utilized by veterinary professionals in the United States to detect, diagnose, and monitor cancer in animal patients. This encompasses a diverse array of diagnostic modalities, including imaging techniques such as radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It also includes laboratory-based tests like hematology, clinical chemistry, cytology, histopathology, and advanced molecular diagnostics such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and increasingly, genomic sequencing and liquid biopsies. The insights derived from these diagnostic procedures are critical for determining the presence and extent of neoplastic disease, guiding treatment decisions, and assessing the response to therapeutic interventions in companion animals and other veterinary species within the U.S.

The U.S. Veterinary Oncology Diagnostics Market is experiencing consistent growth, driven by several key factors. The increasing prevalence of cancer in the aging pet population, coupled with the strong and growing human-animal bond, leads to a greater demand for advanced veterinary care, including sophisticated cancer diagnostics. Technological advancements in veterinary medicine are also playing a significant role, with innovations in imaging, laboratory testing, and molecular diagnostics offering more accurate and less invasive methods for cancer detection. Furthermore, the rising awareness among pet owners about the availability and importance of early cancer diagnosis, along with the increasing accessibility of specialized veterinary oncology services, contributes to the expanding market. The availability of pet insurance is also facilitating greater utilization of advanced diagnostic procedures, further fueling the market's expansion across the United States.

U.S. Veterinary Oncology Diagnostics Market Report Highlights:

By animal type, the canine segment currently holds the largest market share in the U.S. Veterinary Oncology Diagnostics Market, primarily due to the higher incidence of cancer in dogs and their larger population as companion animals across the United States. This substantial segment reflects the strong inclination of dog owners to pursue advanced diagnostics for their pets when faced with a cancer diagnosis.

By test type, the imaging segment currently accounts for the largest share of the U.S. Veterinary Oncology Diagnostics Market, driven by the widespread and crucial role of various imaging modalities like radiography, ultrasound, CT, and MRI in the initial detection and staging of a broad range of cancers in animal patients throughout the United States.

By cancer type, the lymphoma segment currently represents the largest share of the U.S. Veterinary Oncology Diagnostics Market. This is mainly due to the relatively high occurrence of lymphoma in both canine and feline populations within the United States, making it one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in veterinary practice nationwide.

By end use, the reference laboratories segment currently holds the largest share of the U.S. Veterinary Oncology Diagnostics Market. This is because a significant volume of specialized and complex cancer diagnostic testing, particularly advanced molecular analyses and histopathology, is outsourced by veterinary hospitals and clinics across the United States to these specialized facilities.

The prominent entities actively operating within the U.S. Veterinary Oncology Diagnostics market include Antech Diagnostics, Inc. (Mars Inc.), CANCAN DIAGNOSTICS, Embark Veterinary, Inc; Gold Standard Diagnostics (Eurofins Technologies); IDEXX Laboratories, Inc.; Neogen Corporation; Oncotect; PetDx; VolitionRx Limited; and Zoetis.
