Veterinary Microchips Market Growth & Trends

The global veterinary microchips market size is anticipated to reach USD 1.31 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.44% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The primary drivers of market growth include increasing pet humanization, growing animal health awareness, and increasing adoption of microchipping. As more pet owners and veterinarians recognize the benefits of microchipping such as improved pet identification, enhanced safety, and better chances of reuniting lost pets, the demand for microchip increases. In many regions, microchipping is becoming a mandatory requirement for pet registration, travel, or breeding. Compliance with these regulations drives up the demand for microchips and related services.

One of the key factors propelling the market growth is the stringent laws associated to pet microchipping. For instance, according to an article published by British veterinary Association, the UK made it mandatory for all dogs to receive microchips on April 6, 2016. Eight million dogs were microchipped a year after mandatory microchipping was implemented, according to Defra statistics, which was three million more than in 2013 when the plans were initially revealed. At the time, it was considered that this represented 95% of the UK dog population.

The presence of significant manufacturers and suppliers also contributes to the market growth. For instance, Identichip is one of the top microchip providers in the UK and a trustworthy supplier of the most advanced microchip technology reserved for veterinary specialists. According to the Identichip, more than 5 million animals have been microchipped in the UK with Identichip and are trusted for reliable microchip products and support by more than 1,750 veterinary practices, local governments, charities, and animal welfare organizations.

Moreover, lack of awareness and knowledge about microchipping can indeed be a significant barrier to the market growth. Many pet owners might not fully understand the benefits of microchipping, or the procedures involved. This can lead to lower adoption rates and less emphasis on the technology’s importance in pet safety and identification. Moreover, instances of microchip mismanagement, such as improper registration or failure to update contact details, can undermine the effectiveness of microchips. When a microchip is not properly registered or if information is outdated, it defeats the purpose of having the microchip in the first place. Hence, educating pet owners and veterinary professionals about the benefits of microchipping is crucial. Increasing awareness can significantly impact the adoption rate of microchips, which in turn drives the market growth.
