Veterinary Ultrasound Market by Animal Type [Small, Large (Equine, Farm)], Scanner [Cart-based, Handheld], Technology (2D, 3D/4D, Doppler), Application (Orthopedic, Cardiology, Obstetric & Gynecology), End User (Clinic, Hospital) - Global Forecast to 2032

The Veterinary Ultrasound Market is projected to reach $520.11 million by 2032, at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2032. The veterinary ultrasound market comprises advanced ultrasound scanners used by veterinary professionals to diagnose diseases in animals and focus on their health.

The growth of this market is driven by factors such as the rise in the adoption of animals, increasing prevalence of zoonotic diseases, technological advancements in ultrasound devices, increasing animal health expenditure & pet insurance in developed countries, and favorable government initiatives. However, the lack of skilled professionals hampers market growth to a notable extent.

Favorable Government Initiatives Drive the Demand for Veterinary Ultrasound Procedures

Zoonotic disorders cause loss of production capacity in animals. Therefore, governments worldwide are focusing on increasing awareness about these diseases by promoting early disease diagnosis in animals. Market players are also working to promote animal health products. In December 2020, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) awarded USD 14.4 million to 76 projects to protect animal health. This funding will help enhance the early detection of animal diseases and improve emergency response capabilities at National Animal Health Laboratory Network’s (NAHLN) veterinary diagnostic laboratories . Additionally, in May 2022, Merck Animal Health (U.S.) announced funding of USD 250,000 to Iowa State University (ISU) (U.S.) for supporting the construction of veterinary diagnostic laboratories. These factors are creating awareness about the importance of animal diagnosis, which is expected to drive the growth of the global veterinary ultrasound market.
