Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2024-2036

Animal Imaging Market size is poised to reach USD 4 Billion by the end of 2036, growing at a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period, i.e., 2024-2036. In the year 2023, the industry size of animal imaging was USD 2 Billion. The reason behind the growth is due to the rising burden of zoonotic diseases across the globe. About two million individuals each year, primarily in low- and middle-income nations, die from neglected zoonotic illnesses. For the prevention and protection of agronomic health, effective management and control of infectious diseases have become essential. Hence a favorable environment for the expansion of the global market would be created by the growing demand for early detection of these zoonotic illnesses through suitable diagnostic tests.

The growing technological advancement in animal imaging is believed to fuel the market growth. Clinical and preclinical imaging have benefitted greatly from the use of multimodality imaging, particularly PET/CT. According to clinical examples, combining anatomical features revealed by CT scans and functional data from PET scans into a single image with high fusion accuracy creates a sophisticated diagnosis tool and research platform.

Animal Imaging Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Number of Pet Owners - Worldwide pet ownership is on the rise, especially in millennial households, who often have fewer children and have them later in life and also as there has been a tendency of "pet parenting," wherein pet owners treat their animals like members of the family to postpone making other important decisions in life, including getting married and starting a family. For instance, more than 30% of households have pets worldwide.
  • Increasing Popularity of Minimally Invasive Techniques- Veterinarians can more accurately detect a variety of illnesses by using the non-invasive imaging approach, which helps them see probable abnormalities, and also view images with unprecedented depth, and have a deeper understanding of the health of an animal. For instance, Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging method that creates real-time images of the pet's internal structures by using sound waves to provide priceless information about the health and welfare of animals.
  • Surge in Pet Insurance- In the past few years, pet insurance has seen a sharp increase in investment and revenue and is one of the property and liability insurance lines that is expanding the fastest, driven by the new generation of pet owners. For instance, more than 19% of insured pets are cats, yet dogs continue to make up the majority.

Challenges

  • High Cost of Imaging Services - The high-resolution imaging services, such as ultrasound, X-rays, MRI, or CT scans, that are utilized to identify minor issues in the animals are typically very expensive. The diagnostic technology also requires large installation and operational costs, which drives up the price of services. Hence this factor is expected to hinder the growth of the market.
  • Inadequate Reimbursement Policies May Limit Financial Support for Veterinary Services
  • Stringent Government Regulations for the Use of Animals in Research

Animal Imaging Segmentation

Product (Veterinary Imaging Instruments, Veterinary Software, Veterinary Imaging Reagents)

The veterinary imaging instruments segment in the animal imaging market is estimated to gain a robust revenue share of 55% in the coming years. The veterinary imaging devices further include positron emission tomography, fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging, x-ray computed tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, and bioluminescence imaging, which can be used for whole animal imaging that offers distinct insights on the morphology, energy balance, and physiological state of the animal.

In veterinary medicine, ultrasonography is the second most popular imaging format which enables veterinarians to diagnose animals faster and make faster judgments with little sedation or restriction. With the help of these user-friendly ultrasound instruments veterinarians can guide needles for tissue biopsies and can diagnose diseases such as pancreatitis, enlarged organs, kidney/bladder stones, and portosystemic shunts.

Animal Type (Small Companion Animals, Large Animals)

The small companion animals segment in the animal imaging market is set to garner a notable share shortly. Small-animal PET imaging is an important tool in preclinical oncology which have recently emerged, including PET, PET/CT, and PET/MR, as well as SPECT and SPECT/CT scanners that permit the noninvasive study of novel drugs as well as their effects in animals over substantial periods. Numerous uses of small animals exist in the field of biomedical research which has also proven helpful in understanding human molecular biology and pathology.

A compact, high-resolution PET scanner and MRI equipment can be used on small animals, including rats and mice, for non-invasive research. Moreover, positron emission tomography (PET) –CT scanners are becoming standard for clinical PET imaging which utilizes small scintillator elements decoded with position-sensitive or multichannel for studying the animal model of human diseases and the development of new drugs.

Application (Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Oncology, Cardiology, Neurology)

The orthopedics and traumatology segment in the animal imaging market is anticipated to garner a noteworthy share in the coming years. In exotic pets, orthopedic disorders are a prevalent issue therefore by utilizing PET-CT imaging on small animals more accurate problem definitions and exact therapy protocol settings are made possible. In exotic animal veterinary care, diagnostic imaging modalities are more widely available and accessible particularly, nuclear imaging which is being used in tiny animals to identify inflammatory, traumatic, and precancerous lesions early on.
