Veterinary Orthopedics Market Growth & Trends

The global veterinary orthopedics market size is expected to reach USD 832.15 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2022 to 2030. The key factors driving the market include the growing animal population, the prevalence of pet obesity and arthritis, and the number of orthopedic surgeries on pets. Moreover, increasing technological advancements in veterinary devices and implants are expected to contribute to market growth. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), about 84.9 million American homes (67% of U.S. households) owned a pet in 2019. This number grew significantly to nearly 70% or about 90.5 million households owning a pet in 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the market as the number of elective surgeries went down due to lockdown and quarantine measures. Access to veterinary care and services was also restricted, further dampening the demand for vet orthopedic products. In March 2020, the Harmony Veterinary Center in compliance with government guidelines suspended all its elective procedures, surgeries, and dentistry services during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, this does not change the underlying need for these procedures and the market is expected to grow significantly with the resumption of elective surgeries and as surgeries return to pre-COVID numbers.

According to Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP), 56% of dogs and 60% of cats were overweight or obese in the U.S., in 2018. Obesity increases pressure on joints and bones. According to APPA, nearly 20.8 million dogs in the U.S. had undergone orthopedic surgeries in 2016. The most common orthopedic surgeries carried out on canines were femoral head osteotomy, bones fracture repair, cruciate ligament repair, and medial patellar luxation. The prevalence of osteoarthritis in animals is increasing because of obesity, which is boosting the demand for veterinary orthopedic devices and surgeries. According to Kingsbrook Animal Hospital, 20% of all dogs - regardless of age - in the U.S. had osteoarthritis in 2017.
