One primary driver is the increasing burden of infectious diseases among both companion animals and livestock, which has heightened the need for rapid, reliable, and field-deployable diagnostic solutions. The rise in outbreaks of diseases such as avian influenza, leptospirosis, and brucellosis is leading veterinarians and animal producers to prioritize early and accurate detection to mitigate risks.
Another significant factor is the shift towards preventive veterinary care. As awareness grows among pet owners and livestock handlers, there is a stronger emphasis on routine screenings and health monitoring to identify infections before they escalate. This trend is also supported by a growing recognition of the economic and public health consequences associated with the transmission of zoonotic diseases.
"By animal type, the companion animals segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period."
The companion animals segment is expected to see the highest growth in the veterinary infectious disease diagnostics market, driven by increasing pet ownership, especially in urban high-income households. Pet owners are more willing to invest in health check-ups and diagnostic services due to the growing awareness of zoonotic diseases and the importance of early detection. Additionally, innovations in point-of-care and home-based diagnostic tools enhance access for both pet owners and veterinarians. With more frequent visits to veterinary clinics and rising healthcare spending for pets, this segment is projected for rapid growth in the market.
"By technology, the immunodiagnostics segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024."
In 2024, the immunodiagnostics segment dominated the veterinary infectious disease diagnostics market due to its cost-effectiveness and high accuracy. Techniques like ELISA and lateral flow assays are commonly used to detect various infectious diseases in companion and livestock animals. These tests provide rapid results, are user-friendly, and require minimal equipment, making them ideal for veterinary clinics and field use. Their ability to detect specific antigens or antibodies enables early diagnosis and effective disease management, making them valuable for large population screenings and routine surveillance programs.
"The Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period."
The Asia Pacific is set to experience the highest growth in the veterinary infectious disease diagnostics market due to various demographic, economic, and healthcare factors. The region's large livestock population drives the demand for accurate diagnostics to address rising infectious diseases like foot-and-mouth disease and avian influenza. Additionally, the increasing number of companion animals, especially in urban areas of China and India, is boosting veterinary healthcare spending. Enhanced veterinary infrastructure, heightened awareness of zoonotic threats, and investments in animal health are also contributing to market growth. Companies are expanding their presence in the region to improve access to advanced diagnostic technologies.
