Veterinary Services Market Growth & Trends

For instance, as per an article published in May 2021 in Frontiers Media S.A., the UK witnessed a peek in pet adoption rates, which led to the shelters emptying during the pandemic. In addition, the coronavirus pandemic has increased the concerns over animal-to-animal and animal-to-human disease transmission risks, which, in turn, has increased the government measures on preventative care and diagnosis in livestock animals. The WHO is involved in various cross-sectoral activities to address health threats at the human-animal-ecosystem interface.The overall population of pet animals across the globe has also increased, which supports market growth.

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) reported in November 2021 that from 2016 to 2020, the companion animal population increased notably. In addition, the 2023–2024 survey report published by American Pet Products Association estimated that 65.1 million households in the U.S. own dogs and 46.5 million households own cats. The FEDIAF 2022 report suggested that the region had 113.6 million cats and 92.9 million dogs as of 2021.
