The growth in this market is driven by the increasing companion animal population, rising adoption of pet insurance, growing animal health expenditure, and the increasing number of veterinary practitioners & their rising income level in developed countries.
The growing usage and demand for rapid tests and portable instruments for point-of-care (POC) services is offering new growth opportunities for companies in the companion animal diagnostics market. On the other hand, a lack of animal health awareness and a shortage of veterinarians in emerging markets pose significant challenges in the market.
In this report, the companion animal diagnostics market has been segmented on the basis of technology, application, animal type, end user, and region.
“Molecular diagnostics is expected to witness the fastest growth companion animal diagnostics market during the forecast period.”
Based on technology, the companion animal diagnostics market is segmented into clinical biochemistry, immunodiagnostics, hematology, urinalysis, molecular diagnostics, and other companion animal diagnostic technologies. The molecular diagnostics segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The high growth rate of this segment can be attributed to the results of the quick and reliable diagnostics.
“Clinical Pathology segment is expected to witness the fastest growth in the forecast period.”
Based on application, the companion animal diagnostics market is segmented into clinical pathology, bacteriology, virology, parasitology, and other applications.
