Global Veterinary Telehealth Market Size USD 510.49 Million By 2030 | CAGR of 17.69%

Introduction

The global veterinary telehealth market  was valued at USD 117.85 million in 2021, and it is anticipated to reach USD 510.49 million by 2030 at a CAGR of 17.69%. Medical professionals and anyone receiving medical support can communicate with health information, education, or treatment remotely. To improve a patient's clinical health status, telehealth offers the transmission of technology from one location to another. Patients who are not in the same place as the healthcare professional can be monitored thanks to the technology. The use of telehealth by veterinarians is a result of ongoing technical improvements.

The practice of veterinary care (advice, diagnosis, and treatment), which takes place remotely using telecommunication between a veterinarian and an animal owner, is referred to as telehealth. In other words, telehealth is a tool used in veterinary medicine, and it entails the electronic transmission of medical data on a patient's clinical health status. Telehealth is a supplement to conventional veterinary medical practice, not a replacement. All legal prerequisites, including informed permission, must be met before an animal doctor can diagnose and treat an individual via telehealth.

Market Dynamics

The rising cases of zoonotic infections and chronic diseases among animals

The enormous preference for veterinary telemedicine services is partly influenced by the rising occurrence of zoonotic illnesses and chronic animal diseases. Approximately 1 million illnesses and millions of deaths are attributed to zoonotic diseases each year, as well as 60 percent of all new infections, according to WHO data from 2021. As a result, the infection surge is pressuring farm and pet owners to use telehealth services to monitor and improve their animals' health. Additionally, the extensive use of veterinary telehealth services is being prompted by the rising incidence of diseases that affect the animal population, such as chronic kidney disease and diabetes. Therefore, the above causes play a part in the growing demand for veterinary telemedicine services.

Increasing pet owners globally

The popularity of pet owners' telehealth services is growing, partly due to the rise in pet ownership worldwide. About 85 million American families own pets, according to the American Pet Products Association's (APPA) 2019-2020 National Pet Owners Survey. Additionally, due to a growing preference for companionship, roughly one in three Americans adopted a pet during the COVID-19 epidemic, according to the Insurance Research Council's October 2020 study. Additionally, 3.2 million households in the UK have adopted a pet since the start of the COVID-19 epidemic, according to statistics from the Pet Food Manufacturers Association (PFMA) 2021. Pet owners choose virtual care since it eliminates the burden of travelling, waiting, and spending time and money on their dogs. As a result, the need for veterinary telehealth services is growing as pet ownership increases globally.
