Companion animal diagnostics is a molecular diagnostic technique for detecting chronic diseases in companion animals. Companion animal diagnostics is thought to be the most effective way to identify and define many chronic diseases in animals. Several diagnostic approaches are used to identify disorders, including molecular diagnostics, immunodiagnostic tests, clinical biochemistry, uranalysis, and others.
Drivers: Globally, there has been an increase in the number of companion animals and their adoption rate. Numerous studies have linked owning a companion animal to several health advantages, including a decrease in cardiac arrhythmias, a return to normal blood pressure, a reduction in anxiety, increased psychological stability, and an improvement in general well-being. The need for pet care goods and services is predicted to rise due to the growing pet population, which would help dependent businesses like companion animal diagnostics expand.
Challenges: The global animal healthcare sector faces a significant shortage of skilled veterinarians and pathologists, particularly in emerging markets like Asia Pacific and Latin America. Countries such as Brazil and China show a high demand for veterinary services but lack qualified professionals. This gap hinders growth in the sector and affects the adoption of advanced diagnostic solutions, which are essential for companion animals. Additionally, the high cost of diagnostic tests is a further barrier, especially in developing countries where many practices struggle to afford these technologies.
Market Trends: The use of advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is starting to grow in veterinary health. These technologies help to improve the accuracy of diagnosing diseases in pets. They can be combined with imaging or medical records to spot patterns in animal diagnoses early on. For example, Aptech Diagnostics created the RenalTech tool to predict chronic kidney disease in cats up to two years before it is clinically diagnosed. VetAI also launched the Joii App to help diagnose skin and inflammatory conditions by analyzing photos of pets.
