What is Veterinary Imaging?
Veterinary imaging systems are normally used in non-invasive procedures of diagnosing several diseases or disorders in companion animals such as birds, cats, rabbits, dogs, goats, horses, and livestock animals such as cattle and swine. Various imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging, CT scan, radiography, and ultrasound imaging system are normally used to diagnose these animals. Veterinary diagnostic imaging is used for various diagnostic purposes to collect animal health information. Internal diseases or injuries, like blood in the abdomen, periodontal diseases, arthritis, cysts, and cancer, are cases where veterinary imaging devices are essential. Veterinary imaging is a pain-free and risk-free way to observe the internal organs of the animal body to offer the essential diagnosis.
Growth Driver
Growing in awareness of animal health conditions
Growing awareness of animal health conditions,
increasing rates of animal disease and serious health problems, rising veterinary healthcare expenditure, increasing pet insurance coverage are driving demand for veterinary diagnostics and driving the market growth. Computed tomography imaging systems provide a high spatial resolution that enables effective anatomical characterization of the disease, increasing their demand. Increasing demand for computed tomography imaging systems and expanding their capabilities also drive the industry’s growth. Computed tomography imaging systems enable various metabolic processes in cancer cells with rapid advances in technology.
Opportunities
Increasing demand for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and advancement of technology
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the innovative technologies. Magnetic resonance imaging operative in prognosis
neurological disorders in humans.
Veterinarians use MRI to examine the animal’s brain. This technique is also useful in diagnosing the animal’s body’s soft tissues and orthopedic structures. MRI is used in cardiology to study heart disease. Imaging equipment helps veterinarians and technicians diagnose and treat zoonotic diseases. These tools are also useful in diagnosing injuries. As the adoption of advanced technology increases, various techniques of human medical practice are being used to diagnose and treat animals. Technological advances are expected to drive growth.
Restraints
High Cost of Veterinary Imaging Equipment
Veterinary imaging systems and related renovation prices are key aspects to preclude the market’s growth. The excessive price of veterinary imaging structures is projected to challenge the growth of the veterinary imaging system market. The veterinary imaging system is considered costly, probable to be the main restraint for veterinary hospitals and clinics.
Pre-Covid-19 impact on the global Veterinary Imaging market
The rise in insurance coverage for household and livestock animals is due to the high cost associated with the veterinary imaging system. As per the North America pet health insurance association 2018 report, the pet health insurance sector generated a premium of USD 1 billion at the end of 2017, 15 percent higher than that recorded in 2016. Another growth in the veterinary imaging market is the overall growth of home pet ownership. Similarly, increasing health awareness about pet animals and increased adoption of diagnostic instruments for taking proper care of pets are the main factors to boost the veterinary imaging market during the pre-covid-19 era.
Covid-19 impact on the global Veterinary Imaging market
The COVID19 pandemic
occurred in the meat market in Wuhan, China, and adversely affected the consumption of animal-derived foods. Unfavorable changes in regulations and guidelines are obstructing the growth of this market. Plant closures due to lockdown, supply chain disruptions, and clinical trial recruitment challenges are further impacting the growth of the
entire veterinary imaging market. In addition, trade blockades in various regions are expected to slow market growth. The COVID19 pandemic is projected to harm the veterinary imaging market.
Post Covid-19 impact on the global Veterinary Imaging market
The veterinary imaging market is estimated to increase gradually after the covid-19 pandemic. The major factors driving the growth for the veterinary imaging market is the rise the health awareness of companion animal, the growing of the number of veterinary hospitals with the growth of veterinary professionals, technological developments in the veterinary imaging systems, increase of the expenses on animal health, and the adoption of advanced technologies are mainly propelling the growth of the global veterinary imaging market during the covid-19 post period.
