Global Veterinary Ultrasound Market is anticipated to witness an impressive growth during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the growing prevalence of various pet related diseases like cancer. Additionally, growing number of veterinary clinics and hospital across the region and rising uptake of pet care and insurance domain have significantly increased the demand for veterinary ultrasound across different parts of the globe. Additionally, growing awareness pertaining animal health and safety remains a primary contributor for the adoption of ultrasound, helping fuel the market growth through 2028. Besides, increasing disposable income and growing government schemes, combined with various other initiatives across countries for animal healthcare, are further expected to support the veterinary ultrasound market during the forecast period. Furthermore, growing prevalence of cardiovascular disorders, along with the rapidly increasing pet population, is further expected to increase the demand for veterinary ultrasound procedures, thereby supporting the market growth. Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that is used to examine internal organs, tissues, and fluids in animals. It is a valuable tool for veterinarians in diagnosing and monitoring various conditions in animals such as pregnancy, heart disease, and cancer. Ultrasound machines can also be used for guided procedures such as biopsies and fluid collection. One of the primary challenges facing the veterinary ultrasound market is the high cost of equipment. While advances in ultrasound technology have made it possible to develop smaller, more portable, and more affordable ultrasound machines, the cost of these machines can still be prohibitive for many veterinary practices. This can limit the adoption of ultrasound technology in some markets, particularly in developing countries. Another challenge facing the veterinary ultrasound market is a limited number of skilled operators. Performing ultrasound requires specialized training and expertise, and there is a shortage of trained operators in some markets. This can limit the adoption of ultrasound technology, as veterinary practices may not have the necessary resources to train staff or hire additional operators. While ultrasound is a valuable diagnostic tool in animal healthcare, it faces competition from alternative technologies, such as X-ray and MRI. While these technologies are more expensive, they may offer higher resolution images or be more suitable for certain applications, such as bone imaging. This competition can limit the adoption of ultrasound technology in some markets. There is a lack of standardization in the veterinary ultrasound market, particularly in terms of protocols and training programs. This can make it difficult for veterinarians to compare results and make accurate diagnoses, as different operators may use different techniques and settings. Standardization efforts are underway in some markets, but more work is needed to establish universal protocols and training programs. The adoption of veterinary ultrasound technology can be challenging in rural areas, where access to veterinary services and resources may be limited. This can limit the availability of ultrasound technology and the ability of veterinarians to use it in these settings. Additionally, the cost of equipment and training may be higher in rural areas, further limiting adoption.
Increasing Companion Animal Population is Fueling the Market Growth
According to the National Pet Owners Survey (2021-2022) conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), 70% of US households which accounts for approximately 90.5 million families, own a pet.
Growing Awareness about Pet Healthcare is Driving the Market Growth
In 2017, around 1,010 out of 100,000 cats and 508 out of 100,000 dogs seen at Banfield Hospitals had intestinal parasites. This statistic shows low prevalence health conditions among cats and dogs in the U.S. in 2017.
