Veterinary Imaging Market Outlook:
Veterinary Imaging Market size was over USD 2.5 billion in 2025 and is estimated to reach USD 4.8 billion by the end of 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast timeline, i.e., 2026-2035. In 2026, the industry size of veterinary imaging is evaluated at USD 2.6 billion.
The amplifying volume of pet owners around the world is one of the leading growth drivers in the market. As awareness and empathy about animal welfare are widely spreading, personal expenditure and public investments in this sector are increasing. According to a report published by the Global Animal Health Association in September 2022, the net count of cats and dogs as pets in key economies, including Europe, China, and the U.S., crossed 496 million. It also mentioned that more than 50% of the citizens living across the globe had a pet at home during the same timeline. Besides, with the rapidly growing global population, the demand for livestock products is expected to double by 2050, as per the Climate Risk Management journal.
This demography indicates the urgent need for deploying tools and services available in the market to ensure the health of both humans and animals. However, the expensiveness of animal healthcare often creates a barrier to widespread adoption in this sector. In this regard, a 2025 journal of Preventive Veterinary Medicine unveiled that the median inflation-corrected cost per visit in veterinary clinics in Denmark was 133 EUR, where the median lifetime health care cost for dogs was approximately 2800 EUR. This signifies the requirement of cultivating value-based models of medical settings to enhance affordability that can be achieved through strategic partnerships and cost-effective innovations.
