CHINA VETERINARY IMAGING MARKET FORECAST 2023-2030

China’s veterinary diagnostic imaging market has grown significantly over recent years and is also undergoing notable transformations. Moreover, the number of animal diseases in the country is on the rise, as well, mainly on account of the surging animal population. As the disease prevalence continues to rise, the demand for diagnostic imaging in order to detect ailments accurately and in a timely manner is subsequently increasing. Veterinarians are also using imaging technologies to analyze animal brains, in addition to acquiring effective scans of orthopedic and soft tissue structures in pets prior to surgical procedures. 

In this regard, ultrasound imaging technology is largely adopted by vets in China to generate images of fetuses as they continue developing inside the womb. When compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasounds have a higher advantage as they are more affordable and do not require anesthesia. Therefore, the abovementioned factors are expected to propel the veterinary imaging market growth in China during the forecasted period. 

The China veterinary imaging market is segmented into animal type, product type, application, and end-user. The end-user segment includes veterinary laboratories, veterinary clinics and hospitals, and other end-users. Veterinary laboratories offer a diverse range of veterinary diagnostic services. These include microbiology, histology, serology, clinical pathology, parasitology, and others. Veterinary laboratories work in collaboration with different companies, universities, as well as government bodies in order to provide diagnostic services.

Conversely, the other end-users segment includes mobile veterinary practitioners, research laboratories, and veterinary critical care units. There has been an increase in animal testing in research laboratories for the development of medical treatments, testing drug safety, determining toxicity, as well as other biomedical and commercial purposes. 

Key firms operating in the China veterinary imaging market are Idexx Laboratories Inc, Mindray, Siemens AG, etc.
