The global veterinary services market is on a rapid growth trajectory, projected to nearly double from USD 139.9 billion in 2025 to USD 313.3 billion by 2035, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%, according to new market research. Rising demand for animal health solutions, food safety initiatives, and an expanding pet population are central to this growth.
Market Momentum: From Livestock to Companion Care
The veterinary services sector is undergoing a structural transformation as animal health becomes integral to public health, trade, and food security. In 2025, the production animal segment will account for 58.0% of global revenues, reflecting the critical role of livestock in sustaining protein supply chains worldwide.
Governments and agribusinesses are increasingly investing in disease prevention, vaccination programs, and precision livestock farming. This emphasis on preventive healthcare and biosecurity positions veterinary services as an indispensable part of the global agricultural ecosystem.
On the other hand, companion animals are expected to register the fastest growth at 8.6% CAGR, fueled by pet humanization, rising adoption rates, and the expansion of specialized pet healthcare services. Innovations such as telemedicine, diagnostics, and digital veterinary platforms are reshaping how pet owners access care.
