Veterinary Bone Grafts And Substitutes Market Growth & Trends:
The global veterinary bone grafts and substitutes market size is expected to reach USD 394.35 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.55% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is primarily driven by the growing animal population and ownership rates, expenditure on animals, an focus on innovative and effective veterinary surgical procedures, advancements in veterinary bone grafts and substitutes, and growing R&D investment. For instance, in March 2024, TheraVet launched BIOCERA-VET Equine, a new line of bone substitutes for managing dental and orthopedic conditions in horses. This product offers unique properties for treating subchondral bone cysts and dental issues, addressing a significant need in equine veterinary care. BIOCERA-VET's advanced formulations, including injectable and granule options, aim to enhance outcomes in bone surgeries and provide effective alternatives for osteosarcoma management, impacting the market with its specialized solutions.
Furthermore, primary factors that lead to orthopedic problems in pets are obesity and poor nutrition. Obesity increases pressure on joints & bones. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention's (APOP) 2023 survey, 59% of dogs and 61% of cats were overweight or obese in the U.S. in 2022. In the U.S., Canada, and Europe, an estimated 63% of pet cats and 59% of pet dogs are overweight or obese. Similarly, according to the American Association of Equine Practitioners, in 2022, around 51% of horses had a Body Condition Score (BCS) greater than 6, which is considered overweight, and around 19% of the 50% had a BCS of 8 to 9, which is considered obese.
Additionally, the rising prevalence of osteoarthritis and cruciate ligament injuries in animals is increasing because of obesity & other lifestyle conditions, which is boosting demand for veterinary orthopedic devices and surgeries such as bone grafts and substitutes. Moreover, the rising amount of osteoarthritis among canines is anticipated to fuel market growth. For instance, in 2022, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a veterinarian confirmed the diagnosis of osteoarthritis in 38% (188 of 500) of dogs. Hence, obesity and the prevalence of osteoarthritis among canine & feline are resulting in orthopedic problems, which, in turn, is driving the need for various advanced treatments for orthopedic problems like veterinary bone grafting procedures.
Veterinary Bone Grafts And Substitutes Market Report Highlights:
- By product, the autografts segment dominated market with a share of over 41.63% in 2023. However, Others segment is expected to grow at fastest CAGR during forecast period due to 7.4%. Other synthetic bone grafts and substitutes particularly those made from materials like tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and hydroxyapatite, are gaining popularity in recent years.
