The global veterinary neurodegenerative disease diagnostics market size is anticipated to reach USD 596.1 million by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.69% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Several factors are responsible for the market growth.
Firstly, the rising pet ownership globally has increased demand for advanced veterinary care, including neurodegenerative diagnostics and treatments. Secondly, the growing awareness among pet owners about age-related neurological conditions, such as canine cognitive dysfunction, is driving early diagnosis and intervention. Thirdly, advancements in veterinary imaging and biomarker diagnostics are enabling accurate and non-invasive detection of neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, increased research and development activities in veterinary neuroscience, along with the availability of novel therapeutics and neuroprotective drugs, are expanding treatment options. The trend of pet humanization, where animals are treated as family members, further encourages spending on specialized healthcare services. Lastly, supportive government and private initiatives to improve animal health infrastructure and services are also boosting market growth.
The increasing number of veterinarians contributes significantly to the market by expanding access to specialized care and early diagnosis of neurological disorders in animals. For instance, according to AVMA, the number of veterinarians increased to 130,415 in 2024 from 127,131 in 2023. As more veterinary professionals enter the field, especially those trained in neurology, the availability of advanced services such as neuroimaging, biomarker testing, and tailored treatment plans rises. This not only improves the quality of care but also boosts pet owners' confidence in seeking early medical attention for symptoms like seizures, behavioral changes, or mobility issues. Moreover, a larger veterinary workforce facilitates the adoption of cutting-edge technologies and therapies, thereby accelerating market expansion through enhanced service capacity and outreach.
Moreover, strategic initiatives by key players are significantly driving the market growth by fostering innovation, expanding market reach, and improving diagnostic capabilities. For instance, in October 2024, WOORIEN Co., Ltd, a specialist in veterinary imaging equipment and solutions, launched 'MyVet CT Plus.' Designed to accommodate a wide range of animal sizes from small lizards to large retrievers, MyVet CT Plus offers significantly faster imaging with improved quality. Compared to its predecessor, it reduces acquisition time by at least 45%, with potential reductions of up to 80%.
