What Is The Driver Of The Veterinary Imaging Market?

Increased demand for meat and dairy products is expected to propel the growth of the veterinary imaging market going forward. Meat and dairy products refer to animal-derived food products such as beef, pork, poultry, milk, cheese, and yogurt, among others. Meat and dairy products are rising because growing consumer demand for protein-rich diets is driving increased production and consumption worldwide. Veterinary imaging plays a crucial role in ensuring the health and well-being of livestock animals, which are used for meat and dairy production. For instance, in July 2025, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, a France-based intergovernmental organization, global meat production increased by 1.3% in 2024, with developed countries such as the United States, European Union, and Australia showing notable expansion. Therefore, increased demand for meat and dairy products is driving the veterinary imaging industry.

Global Veterinary Imaging Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the veterinary market are developing innovative products, such as zero-helium small animal 1.5T MRI, to better diagnose disease in animals. Zero-helium small animal 1.5T MRI machine is an innovative system that uses a conduction-based cooling system in a strong vacuum, eliminating the need for helium, a quench pipe, an oxygen monitor, a conventional external chiller, or any additional power. For instance, in April 2023, Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging, a UK-based diagnostic imaging service provider launched Zero-helium small animal 1.5T MRI. The machine is designed to increase access to diagnostic care for small animal patients while reducing the financial, environmental, and supply chain risks associated with traditional helium-based MRI systems. It is an evolutionary advancement from Hallmarq's previous systems, combining the proven efficiency of its previous machines with a more sustainable cooling system.
