The veterinary anesthesia equipment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been a significant expansion in the market size of veterinary anesthesia equipment in the past few years. The market, which was valued at $1.1 billion in 2024, is projected to increase to $1.19 billion in 2025 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the historical period include the rise in pet ownership, expansion of the livestock sector, increasing instances of chronic illnesses in pets, heightened awareness about the critical role of pain management in animals, more demand for quality treatments aimed at improving animals' lives, and government backing for research and development in the veterinary field.
The veterinary anesthesia equipment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for veterinary anesthesia equipment is predicted to experience robust expansion in the forthcoming years, with its value expected to reach $1.6 billion in 2029, generating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%.
This anticipated growth during the forecast period is likely due to factors such as enhanced veterinary specialization, escalating pet healthcare costs, increasing emphasis on animal pain management, and the expanding globalism of veterinary services. Key trends expected during this period include advances in anesthesia methods, less invasive surgical procedures, smart and interconnected devices, environmentally friendly anesthesia options and individualized anesthesia plans.
The expansion of the veterinary anesthesia equipment market in the future years is anticipated to be fueled by a surge in pet ownership. Keeping a domesticated animal like a cat, dog, bird, fish or a similar small creature, and meeting its needs defines pet ownership. The duties involved in pet ownership encompass providing nourishment, water, shelter, physical exertion, and health services to the animal. The safety of pets during surgical procedures is ensured by veterinary anesthesia equipment, making it crucial to pet ownership. As pet numbers increase, the demand for veterinary anesthesia equipment is projected to escalate. For example, dog ownership was significantly higher in October 2023, with 65.1 million dogs versus 46.5 million cats, as per the World Animal Foundation, an organization based in the US advocating animal rights, responsible pet ownership, and sensitive awareness. There are 2.2 million horses owned by horse owners and 11 million homes possess saltwater fish tanks. Consequently, the increase in pet ownership is catalyzing the growth of the veterinary anesthesia equipment market.
