PET MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Pet Medical Equipment Market is poised for significant growth, starting at USD 9.59 billion in 2025, and is set to expand to USD 10.62 billion in 2026, eventually reaching USD 26.5 billion by 2035, driven by a CAGR of 10.7% from 2025 to 2035.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been staggering and unprecedented, with the pet medical equipment market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand during the pandemic.

The advanced medical equipment refers to the industry that manufactures and distributes medical devices and equipment developed specifically for use in veterinary care. These gadgets are critical in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of numerous health issues in pets.

Several reasons have contributed to the tremendous expansion in the market for pet medical equipment in recent years. For starters, pet owners are becoming more conscious of the significance of giving proper treatment to their animal friends. Because of this increasing knowledge, there is a greater demand for improved medical technology that can help with precise diagnosis and effective treatment.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic has had a mixed impact on the market demand

The COVID-19 pandemic has had both beneficial and bad effects on the pet medical equipment sector. While the pandemic caused temporary disruptions in the supply chain and production processes as a result of lockdowns and restrictions, the increased emphasis on pet ownership and healthcare during the pandemic has raised demand for pet medical equipment. With more people spending time at home and looking for companionship, there has been a boost in pet adoption and a greater emphasis on pet health, resulting in an increased need for veterinarian services and medical equipment to support diagnosis and treatment, driving market expansion.

LATEST TRENDS

Integration of telemedicine and remote monitoring technology to contribute in market expansion 

Integration of telemedicine and remote monitoring technologies is one of the most recent advancements in the pet medical equipment market. Veterinarians are increasingly using telemedicine systems to give virtual consultations, remote monitoring of dogs' vital signs, and real-time connection with pet owners as digital health advances. This trend is being driven by the need to reduce stress for pets during veterinarian visits, as well as the necessity for efficient and accessible healthcare services, particularly in rural locations. The combination of telemedicine and remote monitoring technology is revolutionizing pet healthcare delivery and will continue to shape the pet medical equipment industry.

• Remote monitoring and telemedicine usage has increased by around 20-25% among pet owners in rural / low-access areas.

• The share of consumables, reagents & kits in diagnostics product type is about 54% of the diagnostics market.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Pet Ownership and Humanization to boost market demand 

The rising trend of pet ownership and the humanization of pets are significant driving factors in the pet medical equipment market. Pets are increasingly considered as family members, leading to a higher demand for quality healthcare services and medical equipment. Pet owners are willing to invest in advanced diagnostic tools, surgical equipment, and monitoring devices to ensure the well-being and longevity of their animal companions. The emotional bond between pet owners and their pets has fueled the pet medical equipment market growth, as people prioritize their pets' health and seek the best available medical equipment to meet their needs.

Technological Advancements to stimulate market demand 

Technological advancements have played a crucial role in driving the pet medical equipment market forward. Continuous innovations in veterinary medicine and technology have led to the development of advanced medical equipment tailored specifically for pets. Digital imaging systems, such as X-ray machines and ultrasound devices, provide accurate and detailed diagnostic images, aiding in the identification of health conditions. Minimally invasive surgical tools and robotic-assisted surgery systems have improved surgical outcomes and reduced postoperative complications. Advanced diagnostic devices, such as blood analyzers and molecular diagnostics, enable veterinarians to detect diseases and monitor treatment progress effectively.

• Companion animals hold about 60% of animal type share in diagnostics, boosting demand for pet-medical diagnostic equipment.

• Increase in pet ownership in developed nations contributes roughly 45% higher demand for veterinary medical services and equipment.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High adoption cost to hamper market expansion

The high cost of innovative equipment and technologies is one of the main restraints in the pet medical equipment industry. The creation and manufacture of novel medical equipment for pets necessitates significant investments in research, development, and manufacturing. The expensive cost of this equipment can be a barrier for veterinary clinics, particularly smaller practices or those in economically challenged areas, limiting their ability to acquire and use new medical equipment. Furthermore, pricing might influence pet owners' willingness to invest in costly treatments and procedures, affecting total demand for pet medical equipment.

• High adoption costs cause about 30-40% of smaller veterinary practices to delay or avoid purchasing advanced equipment.

• In some product lines (e.g. rapid assays), declines of ~3% reported, due to substitution by other diagnostics modalities.
