Veterinary diagnostic equipment comprises devices and instruments that are primarily utilized by veterinary professionals to identify and diagnose various disorders in animals. These diagnostic tools include clinical thermometers, diagnostic lights, X-ray equipment, and specific diagnostic test kits, which aid in pinpointing the cause of disease and formulating the appropriate treatment plan for animals.
The primary categories of veterinary diagnostic equipment include hematology, immunodiagnostics, clinical chemistry, and molecular testing. Hematology involves the study of diseases related to blood, encompassing the prognosis, causes, and treatment of such conditions. Veterinary diagnostic equipment is employed in a range of settings, including hospitals, clinics, reference laboratories, universities, research centers, and for point-of-care or in-house testing, catering to both livestock like cattle and domestic pets.

This veterinary diagnostic equipment research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The veterinary diagnostic equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.4 billion in 2024 to $1.51 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing pet ownership, growing livestock industry, prevalence of companion animals, demand for preventive veterinary care, rising disposable income levels,.
The veterinary diagnostic equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.98 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising pet healthcare awareness, global pandemic preparedness, increasing focus on animal disease surveillance and control, increased pet insurance. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of digital technologies, telemedicine integration, point-of-care testing, ai and machine learning, eco-friendly practices.
The rising prevalence of diseases among animals serves as a significant driver of the veterinary diagnostic equipment market. As the incidence of diseases in both livestock and pets increases, there is a corresponding surge in demand for advanced diagnostic equipment. For instance, in July 2023, reports from the World Health Organization (WHO), a specialized agency of the United Nations focused on global public health, indicated that H5N1 high pathogenicity avian influenza outbreaks had been reported in poultry and wild birds across 67 countries on five continents. These outbreaks resulted in the loss of over 131 million domestic birds due to death or culling in affected farms and communities in 2022. This heightened prevalence of diseases in animals significantly drives the demand for diagnostic equipment, thereby propelling the veterinary diagnostic equipment market.
The increasing number of veterinary practitioners is anticipated to drive the growth of the veterinary diagnostic equipment market in the upcoming years. Veterinary practitioners are professionals working in the field of veterinary medicine, which involves the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases, disorders, and injuries in animals. These practitioners rely on a range of diagnostic tools and instruments to assess and treat animals effectively. The use of veterinary diagnostic equipment has gained greater significance in veterinary medicine due to its ability to enhance the precision and efficiency of both diagnosis and treatment. For example, as of June 2022, data from the Veterinary Practitioners Registration Board of Victoria, an organization in Australia responsible for regulating practicing veterinarians, indicated a total of 3,781 registered veterinarians on their list, representing a 2.11% increase from the previous year. This growth in the number of veterinary practitioners is a driving force behind the veterinary diagnostic equipment market.
Veterinary diagnostic equipment manufacturers are at the forefront of introducing advanced technologies, such as state-of-the-art blood microsampling techniques, to enhance precision in diagnosis and offer patient-centric specimen collection methods for detecting diseases in animals. Blood microsampling is an innovative approach that simplifies the process of drawing blood samples from livestock and companion animals, which are then sent to laboratories for further analysis. This technique is an evolution of dry blood sampling, a method for blood collection. For example, Neoteryx introduced the '3Rs-compliant Mitra' microsampling device, which operates on microsampling principles. This device leverages Neoteryx's patented Volumetric Absorptive Micro Sampling (VAMS) technology, enabling more convenient and accurate remote blood sampling. Other companies in the veterinary diagnostic equipment sector are also investing in the microsampling trend, with Diatron introducing the Diatron Aquila hematology analyzer.
Leading companies in the veterinary diagnostic equipment market are prioritizing the development of innovative products, particularly novel diagnostic tests for kidney injury, to better serve the needs of their existing customer base. A novel diagnostic test for kidney injury refers to a groundbreaking medical test that offers a more accurate, sensitive, and specific means of identifying and evaluating renal damage or injury compared to existing diagnostic methods. Such tests often incorporate emerging technologies, novel biomarkers, or innovative techniques that significantly improve early diagnosis and the accurate assessment of kidney damage, ultimately leading to improved care and outcomes. For example, in June 2023, IDEXX Laboratories Inc., a US-based company specializing in the development, manufacturing, and distribution of products and services for companion animals, poultry, livestock, water testing, and the dairy industry, launched the IDEXX Cystatin B Test. This veterinary diagnostic test is designed to identify kidney damage in cats and dogs and is integrated into renal health test panels, providing new clinical insights for approximately two million patient visits each year. The IDEXX Cystatin B Test is set to enhance our understanding of kidney health by detecting damage and offering valuable information, especially when alterations in kidney function are not readily apparent.
In April 2023, Mars Incorporated Petcare, a US-based pet care company, acquired Heska Corporation for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to bolster Mars Incorporated's position in the pet health sector by incorporating Heska Corporation's veterinary diagnostic products and services into its portfolio. This strategic move enhances Mars's ability to provide comprehensive care solutions for pets while leveraging the growing demand for advanced veterinary services. Heska Corporation is a US-based manufacturer of veterinary diagnostic equipment.
