Veterinary Service Market Trends:
With the rising number of human pathogens originating in animals, veterinary services are presently becoming increasingly essential for protecting animals, safeguarding public health, and ensuring food safety. This, in confluence with the increasing adoption of companion animals around the world, represents one of the key factors stimulating the growth of the market. Moreover, governments of numerous countries are relaxing the telemedicine and veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) regulations on account of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and making telemedicine available to pet parents. It is utilized in veterinary for postoperative checks, dermatologic concerns, behavioral issues, and scheduled follow-up visits for pets with chronic diseases, thereby allowing veterinarians to prescribe the treatment without the direct examination of pets. This, coupled with recent expansions in pet services, including online pet pharmacies and food and product delivery via subscription services, is impelling the market growth. Apart from this, advances in animal health biotechnologies, such as vaccines, antimicrobials, and diagnostic tools, for minimizing the burden of diseases and improving the standards of animal health and welfare are positively influencing the market. In addition, significant growth in the livestock sector is projected to create a positive outlook for the market in the upcoming years.
