Brazil Veterinary Services Market Overview, 2028
Brazil's veterinary services stand as a vital cornerstone of the nation's commitment to the well-being of its animal population, the assurance of food safety, and the promotion of global trade in animal products. Brazil is known for its incredible biodiversity, both in terms of domesticated animals and wildlife. Veterinary professionals in Brazil often work with a wide range of species, from cattle and poultry to exotic wildlife. This diversity fosters a culture of adaptability and specialisation within the field. Brazilian veterinary services are increasingly adopting a ""One Health"" approach, recognising the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. This approach emphasises collaboration between veterinarians, medical professionals, and environmental scientists to address health challenges holistically. There is a growing awareness and emphasis on the ethical treatment of animals in Brazil. Veterinarians play a pivotal role in advocating for animal welfare, both in the context of production animals and companion animals. In rural areas, especially in the vast expanses of the Brazilian countryside, veterinary clinics are often central to the community. These clinics provide essential services for livestock, ensuring their health and well-being. This tradition reflects the close relationship between veterinarians and rural communities.
According to the research report ""Brazil Veterinary Services Market Overview, 2028,"" published by Bonafide Research, the Brazil Veterinary Service Market was valued at more than USD 4 billion in 2022. A growing driver within the veterinary service is the promotion of ethical treatment for all animals, reflecting evolving societal values and concerns. The Veterinary Service is actively involved in conserving Brazil's rich biodiversity by addressing the health of wildlife, combating illegal wildlife trade, and supporting habitat protection. Brazil continued to adopt a one health approach, recognising the interconnectedness of animal and environmental health. This approach fosters collaboration among veterinarians, medical professionals, and environmental scientists to address emerging health challenges. Advancements in technology, including telemedicine and digital health records, were becoming more prevalent in veterinary practises, improving diagnosis, treatment, and client communication. Based on the animal types, which include production animals and companion animals, in Brazil, the production animals are leading the veterinary services. Cattle, poultry, and swine are among the most economically significant livestock in Brazil. They are bred for meat, dairy, and egg production, which are essential components of the country's agricultural industry. The economic importance of these animals drives the need for extensive veterinary care. Diseases that affect cattle, poultry, and swine, such as foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza, and African swine fever, can have devastating economic consequences. Brazil's veterinary services invest in disease control and prevention to safeguard the health of these animals and protect its agricultural exports. Developing and implementing vaccination strategies to prevent diseases and enhance herd immunity has become a crucial trend. Veterinarians focused on customising vaccination plans for specific farm needs.
Based on the service types, they include physical health monitoring, surgery, diagnostic tests and imaging, artificial insemination, grooming, vaccination, and others (biosecurity, dental care, etc.). In Brazil, physical health monitoring is leading the veterinary service market. The shift towards preventive healthcare is driving the demand for physical health monitoring. By monitoring parameters such as body temperature, heart rate, and movement patterns, veterinarians can detect early signs of illness or distress and intervene proactively. This approach can reduce the need for reactive treatments and improve animal welfare. With increasing consumer awareness of food safety and animal welfare, there is a growing demand for traceability and transparency in the food supply chain. Physical health monitoring helps ensure the safety and quality of animal-derived products, which is vital for maintaining consumer confidence, both domestically and in export markets. Furthermore, urbanisation trends in Brazil have resulted in more people living in cities, where companion animals are often an integral part of family life. This urban lifestyle encourages pet ownership and the use of veterinary services. The availability of pet insurance in Brazil has made it more financially feasible for pet owners to seek veterinary care for their animals, even for more costly treatments and procedures.
Based on the end user segment, which includes the veterinary hospital, veterinary clinic, outdoors, ambulatory, and online, the veterinary hospital is leading the market. Veterinary hospitals often offer a broader range of advanced medical services and specialised care compared to clinics. This can include 24/7 emergency care, surgical procedures, critical care, and diagnostic imaging. Pet owners seeking comprehensive medical care may prefer hospitals for these services. Veterinary hospitals frequently employ specialists in various fields, such as internal medicine, surgery, and dermatology. These specialists can provide in-depth expertise and specialised treatments that may not be available in a general clinic. As Brazil's economy has grown, some pet owners may have more disposable income to spend on specialised and advanced healthcare services for their pets. The top veterinary hospital in Brazil is the Hospital Veterinário da Universidade de So Paulo (HOVET). It is located in the city of So Paulo and is affiliated with the University of So Paulo's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science. HOVET is considered the largest university veterinary hospital in Latin America and offers a wide range of services, including general practise, surgery, diagnostics, and emergency care. It also has a number of specialised clinics, such as the cardiology clinic, the oncology clinic, and the ophthalmology clinic.
