MEA Veterinary Diagnostics Market

MEA Veterinary Diagnostics Size (2023 to 2028)

The Middle East & Africa Market size for veterinary diagnostics is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.88% from 2023 to 2028 and be worth USD 610 million by 2028 from USD 440 million in 2023 due to the increase in the number of foodborne diseases affecting the animals.

Veterinary Diagnostics provides tools for effectively testing animal health conditions to undertake preventative or remedial measures. Several diseases in animals are determined and recognized by examinations through tests with veterinary diagnostics. These tests are performed by collecting feces, blood, and serum.

The need to perform various tests has increased gradually. In turn, the market for Molecular diagnostics is expected to grow at a higher than that of Immunodiagnostics due to the broad scope it provides over the likes of immunodiagnostics. An increase in the purchase and usage of various diagnostic instruments utilized in veterinary practices, in-clinic diagnostic procedures, high-income households that keep pets, and regularly visit veterinary laboratories are propelling the growth of this market.

However, increasing the adoption of vegetarian food due to changing food habits, the economic downturn, the increased risk of obesity, exposure to global cuisines, and other diseases affect the growth.

For instance, lateral flow and other rapid tests are used in veterinary medicine to test commercial livestock (large animals - cows, poultry, sheep, pigs, etc.) and household pets (cats, dogs, etc.) to check for the presence of a variety of medical conditions caused by bacteria, viruses, allergies, and fertility issues. Food animal diagnostics assist in livestock and production animal preventive care and complement other vaccination and selective breeding measures. Veterinary diagnostic products are as complex as they are challenging to manufacture. Many of the tests the veterinarian uses to diagnose disease require highly specialized instruments or equipment. In other cases, specific training is necessary for the technicians performing the tests.
