Veterinary Diagnostics Market by Product (Instruments, Reagents, Software) Test (Laboratory, PoC) Technology (Molecular Diagnostics, Immunodiagnostics, Hematology) Animal (Farm, Companion) Application (Infectious Disease, Cardiology) End User, Regions, Companies – Global Forecast to 2030
Wissen Research analyses that the global veterinary diagnostics market is estimated at approximately USD 3.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 5.4 billion by 2030, expected to grow at a CAGR of ~7.5% during the forecast period, 2024-2030.
Diagnosing animal diseases serves as a bridge between identifying the cause and providing a cure for the disease. Throughout the years, veterinary diagnostics laboratories have adopted advanced molecular diagnostic methods such as, PCR and western blot, which have allowed veterinarians for quick and precise detection of animal illness in real-time. In the recent past there has been a significant increase in the domestication of animals resulting to the increased exchange of viral or bacterial species with humans. This trend has increased the awareness and requirement for the wellness of livestock as well as companion animals. Furthermore, the recent rise in point-of-care diagnostics and preventive care are fueling the growth of veterinary diagnostics industry.
The rising number of pet owners is creating a higher demand for veterinary services and diagnostics. Further, the advances in molecular diagnostics and personalized treatments are expanding the diagnostics capabilities and improving accuracy. Additionally, the growing incidence of zoonotic disease will boost the demand for early diagnosis, therefore, will drive the growth of overall veterinary diagnostics market.
The integration of digital health platforms and telemedicine can enhance remote diagnostics and monitoring by increasing the communication between animal owners and veterinarians, thus will increase market reach and accessibility. Further, increasing livestock farming and pet ownership in emerging region such as, Asia-Pacific provides significant growth opportunities for veterinary diagnostics solution providers.
Rising prices of raw materials will pose threats in the value chain. Further, the shortage of raw materials will greatly inhibit the testing capabilities, globally. It is worth mentioning that shortage of skilled veterinary professionals and staff in the developing countries can pose serious challenges for the veterinary diagnostics market.

Key Notes:
The global market for veterinary reference laboratories was valued at USD 4.5 billion in 2023, and is projected to increase to USD 4.9 billion in 2024.
The global veterinary reference laboratories market is anticipated to grow at an annual growth rate of 10% from 2024 to 2030 to reach USD 8.5 billion, by 2030.
Leading players within the veterinary reference laboratories market are IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (US), Mars, Incorporated (US), Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (US), GD Animal Health (Netherlands) and Zoetis Inc. (US).
The veterinary reference laboratories market is best characterized as consolidated. The top 3-5 companies—such as IDEXX Laboratories, Heska Corporation, Zoetis, Boehringer Ingelheim, and GD Animal Health—hold a significant but not overwhelming share of the market, collectively accounting for more than 50% but less than 70% of the total market share. This indicates a moderately concentrated market structure where a few large multinational corporations dominate, yet there remains a notable presence of smaller specialized and regional labs contributing to competitive dynamics.
The primary application areas within the veterinary reference laboratories market encompass Clinical Pathology, Parasitology, Productivity Testing, Pregnancy Testing, Toxicology Testing, Virology, Bacteriology and Other services (Toxicology, Pregnancy Testing etc.). Notably, the Clinical Pathology segment held the largest market share. It involves a comprehensive evaluation of an animal’s health status through analysis of blood plasma, urine, and other bodily fluids.
