Veterinary Ultrasound Market Trends

Global Veterinary Ultrasound Market Overview

The Veterinary Ultrasound Market Size was valued at USD 0.37 Billion in 2023. The Global Veterinary Ultrasound industry is projected to grow from USD 0.40 Billion in 2024 to USD 0.73 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).

An ultrasound machine can detect tumors in some internal regions of the body which is not available properly in x-rays. These ultrasound devices are pain-free and risk-free and are widely used to look at the internal organs of the animal’s body. These are usually quick and do not require any special preparation in most cases which makes it more preferable. The veterinarians usually use these devices to guide a needle, while performing a biopsy. When compared to solid tumors, ultrasound devices are better to diagnose any disorder related to the generation of fluid-filled cysts. Because ultrasound can made different echo patterns which increases the demand for ultrasound devices for diagnosing certain animal diseases. 

To scan animals bodies, veterinary ultrasound machines make use of 1.5 to 15 megahertz of ultrasonic sound waves which creates an image of the internal body structure of the animal’s body. This device works on the echoes which are reflected by the scanner from the tissues that are targeted and organs of the animal body.  

COVID-19 Analysis:

In November 2019, the world saw the first deadly virus of the COVID-19. To the impact of the virus, a worldwide international emergency was declared. Economic wealth declined due to the loss of manpower and implementation of lockdowns.

To control the spread of the virus, country-wide and further state-wise global lockdowns are implemented. During the COVID-19 outbreak, the veterinary ultrasound industry growth is neither empowered ar diminished and this industry takes better care of animals safe in this period. The healthcare industries are working to find the vaccine to the pandemic.

Veterinary Ultrasound Market Trends

Drivers:

The increase in the prevalence of several internal injuries coupled with other diseases including blood in the abdomen, cests, and cancer in the companion animals like dogs, cats, horses, and livestock animals like cattle, swine, and more coupled with growing demand for diagnosis diseases are predicted to fuel the growth of the veterinary ultrasound market demand. Pet doctors should practice and train through veterinary ultrasound training online. 

The growing population of animals, rise in the money invested to treat pets, an increase in pet insurance demand, and the growing number of vet doctors who adopt practice are some other factors boosting the market growth of the veterinary ultrasound. An increase in zoonotic disease is propelling the demand for the veterinary ultrasound scanners market. Increasing disposable income, rising demand for miniaturization of the technology, and growing government initiatives and schemes for animal healthcare are the factors accelerating the market growth.

Restraint:

The veterinary ultrasound cost is nowadays very expensive to treat the animals and the cost of medical insurance for animals is also increased which is restraining the veterinary ultrasound market growth.

Opportunities:

By using the technological innovations in ultrasound machines, the veterinary ultrasound technicians develop better machines to fulfill the needs of an animal which helps in treating zoonotic disease, pet disease, etc.

Challenges:

Lack of knowledge and awareness among people regarding animal health is a challenge to the market growth of the veterinary ultrasound. In underdeveloped countries, the healthcare systems are underdeveloped which limits the veterinary ultrasound market growth. Moreover, stringent regulations over the adoption of animals by the governments are also hindering the growth.
