Published | 13 July 2021

A recent study conducted by the strategic consulting and market research firm, BlueWeave Consulting, revealed that the global veterinary reference laboratory market was worth USD 3.8 billion in the year 2020. The data gathered by the study further reveals that the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.6%, earning revenue of around USD 7.1 billion by the end of 2027. The rising cases of zoonotic diseases all around the world have pulled the demand for animal health diagnostic and treatment services, thereby driving the overall veterinary reference laboratory market. Additionally, the high focus on innovation in veterinary health is expected to boost the demand for veterinary reference laboratories during the forecast period.

Rising Prevalence of Zoonotic Diseases Driving the Global Veterinary Reference Laboratory Market

The rising frequency of certain animal diseases, as well as the growing population of infected animals, are also driving the global veterinary reference laboratories market. For example, there are several types of zoonotic diseases that an animal or pet can contract.  They can either be bacterial which can cause health issues like tuberculosis, anthrax, etc., or viruses that can cause yellow fever, HIV, rabies, or other types of infection. Mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and other animals can easily be the medium of transmission for many infections, putting animals at a greater risk of contracting these diseases. Over the last several years, there has been a significant increase in the number of infection cases. This is projected to drive the demand for veterinary reference laboratories over the projection period.

Increasing Awareness of Pet Owners Towards their Pet’s Health Proving Favorable for Market Growth

Earlier, people with pets or other animals were not equipped with resources, be it knowledge or finances to take proper care of their pets. Rising awareness and regarding the importance of maintaining animals’ health have been contributing significantly towards the rising need for reference laboratories. The government's strict laws and regulations for protecting the health of livestock in agriculture are also increasing the demand for laboratories that provide testing services.

Companion Animal Segment will lead the Global Veterinary Reference Laboratory Market in Forecast Period

The animal segment in the veterinary reference laboratory market is divided into two segments, i.e., companion animals and livestock animals. The livestock animals segment accounts for the majority of the market share due to the extensive commercialization of animals by the meat and dairy industries. However, the companion animal segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR in the forecast period and is likely to lead the market in the coming years. This growth of this segment can be attributed to the rising trend of pet adoption and the increasing demand for pet care products. According to the American Pet Products Association's 2019–20 National Pet Owners Survey, over 67% of U.S. households own a pet.

Geographically, the global veterinary reference laboratory market is grouped into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle-East & Africa. Among these, North America dominates the veterinary reference laboratory market with the largest market share and is likely to maintain its dominance even during the forecast period. However, in the forecast period, the Asia-Pacific region is estimated to witness promising growth in the market with a healthy CAGR. Because APAC countries lack adequate animal healthcare systems, the market for veterinary reference laboratories in the Asia Pacific has great potential. Additionally, rising disposable income and increased spending on animal health will strengthen the market even further.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Global Veterinary Reference Laboratory Market

Pet owners resisted the need to take their animals to any healthcare facility, such as veterinary reference laboratories, even though the virus did not affect animals in the early phases. However, according to recent research investigations, new strains of the virus are attacking animals as well, with several cases of animal infected by Covid-19 surfacing.
