Veterinary Dental Equipment Market

Global Veterinary Dental Equipment Market Size

The veterinary dental equipment market worldwide size was worth USD 456.88 million in 2024. The size of the market is forecasted to be growing at a CAGR of 7.96% from 2025 to 2033 and worth USD 910.27 million by 2033 from USD 493.27 million in 2025.

Veterinary sciences are the study of animal health and care. The study includes all kinds of animals and their care, and they mainly work on the welfare of cattle, livestock, and pet animals. However, they are also qualified to work on different kinds of wild animals. Veterinary dental equipment refers to the market of dentistry products and instruments explicitly developed for animals. Like humans, animals also require care and dental hygiene, and the market stands on making products and spreading awareness about the dental hygiene requirements for animals. 

Dental animal care is mainly administered to pet or companion animals as a measure for animal care services and livestock animals to ensure good health and less probability of diseases. Dental health is very important to maintain an animal's overall health, and the market for dental equipment administers this care through various types of products and equipment for various problems. Therefore, it is essential to maintain dental care. Broken or loose teeth, foul breath, additional or retained teeth, discolored teeth, pain, and gum bleeding are some signs of dental issues in animals. Malocclusion, damaged or shattered jaws, periodontal disease, infected teeth or abscesses, and palate deformities, including cleft palates, are some of the leading causes of animal dental care issues. Periodontal infections are the most prevalent dental or oral care issue for several canine and feline pets.

MARKET DRIVERS

The increase in adoption rates around the world, the prevalence of veterinary dental problems, the rise in the number of veterinarians and their income levels in developed countries, and rising awareness of the value of veterinary healthcare are the major factors propelling the global veterinary dental equipment market. In addition, new technological advancements are also expected to contribute to the market's expansion.

Y-O-Y rise in the incidence of animal dental diseases favors the veterinary dental equipment market.

The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) estimates that 70% of cats and 87 percent of dogs over the age of three have periodontal disorders. Growing animal oral health problems and rising demand for efficient dental equipment to address animal dental problems are expected to propel the expansion of the veterinary dentistry equipment market during the forecast period. In addition, increased demand for veterinary dental care instruments and equipment, rising releases of animal dental care products, and rising frequency of oral illnesses in companion and livestock animals are expected to drive market expansion over the forecast period.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The rising cost of pet care is anticipated to impede this market expansion somewhat. Furthermore, the lack of competent veterinarians in emerging economies and the poor level of animal health awareness will exacerbate this issue even further. In addition, the increasing costs of novel veterinary dental equipment are projected to hinder the market's growth.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

By Product Insights

The equipment segment was the most dominant segment among the other types in the global veterinary dental equipment market and registered a significant share of the market in 2023. The growth of this segment is mainly driven by the high price of dental equipment and the increasing income level of veterinarians, which is leading to higher adoption of dental equipment.

Dental X-rays are useful in identifying normal, healthy teeth from those that are abnormal or sick. A veterinarian may suggest digital dental X-ray procedures during a standard dental examination to evaluate the health of an animal's teeth and gums. Digital dental X-rays can also reveal abnormalities in the teeth and their surroundings, such as bone tumors, tooth impactions and fractures, and uncomfortable lesions or erosions on an animal's tooth's surface that could go undetected. Dental radiology has been implemented at a low cost, and new dental X-ray machines (CR systems) are priced at about USD 3,000.

By Animal Type Insights

Based on the animal type, the small companion animals segment dominated the market for veterinary dental equipment worldwide in 2022. This segment is expanding due to the rising incidence of periodontal disorders in dogs. More than 70% of adult cats and 90% of adult dogs suffer from periodontal diseases, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Therefore, early detection and treatment are crucial because they prevent conditions from worsening, leading to pain or long-term health problems.

By End-User Insights

Based on the end-users, the veterinary clinic sector is developing at the most significant CAGR during the forecast period. For pet owners, clinics are their initial point of contact. Therefore, the use of dental devices in clinics is crucial. Small dental hand equipment for equines and companion animals and dental X-ray systems for pets are frequently available at clinics. They can support a variety of clinical specialties as a result.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

The North American region played the leading role in the global veterinary dental equipment market, accounting for a significant share in 2021. The growth of this region can be credited to the Y-O-Y rise in the pet adoption rates, an increase in the prevalence of oral & dental diseases in animals, such as periodontal disease, and an increase in the availability of oral care products, and an increase in product launches. The American Pet Products Association (APPA) estimated that 67 percent of US homes, or roughly 84.9 million families, owned a pet, according to the National Pet Owners Survey (2019-2020). In the US in 2018, over 1.6 million households had horses, 42.7 million had cats, and 63.4 million had dogs. The demand for pet care goods and services is anticipated to rise in response to the growing pet population, which will fuel the expansion of related industries like the one for veterinary dentistry equipment in the region.

The expansion of the veterinary dental equipment market in Europe is anticipated to be aided by rising spending on animal healthcare, a larger pool of veterinarians, expanding public awareness of animal health, and the creation of numerous hospitals & clinics. 

Because of the vast pool of livestock animals, rising occurrences of animal dental problems, and rising pet adoption rates, the veterinary dental equipment market in the Asia Pacific region is predicted to expand significantly. The Asia Pacific is projected to grow considerably during the forecast period. The vast pool of livestock animals, rising occurrences of animal dental problems, and rising pet adoption rates propel the veterinary dentistry tools and equipment market. Emerging countries such as China, India, and Japan significantly contribute to the Asia Pacific regional market growth.
