Veterinary Diagnostics Market to Hit $15.05 Bn by 2031 as Reference Laboratories Segment Held a 45% Share in 2025, Says Mordor Intelligence

HYDERABAD, India, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The global veterinary diagnostics market is gaining momentum as veterinary healthcare systems adopt advanced diagnostic technologies to improve animal health outcomes. According to Mordor Intelligence, the veterinary diagnostics market size was valued at USD 8.73 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 9.53 billion in 2026 to reach USD 15.05 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 9.57% during the 2026–2031 forecast period, as rising pet ownership, increasing prevalence of animal diseases, and growing demand for preventive healthcare continue to shape industry expansion worldwide. 

Veterinary diagnostics play a crucial role in identifying infectious diseases, metabolic conditions, and genetic disorders in both companion animals and livestock. The growing awareness among pet owners regarding early disease detection and preventive veterinary care is contributing significantly to the adoption of diagnostic solutions such as molecular diagnostics, immunodiagnostics, clinical chemistry, and hematology testing. The increasing global livestock population and the importance of disease monitoring in food-producing animals are also reinforcing demand for veterinary diagnostic services. Governments and animal health organizations are emphasizing disease surveillance and control programs to maintain food safety and prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases, further accelerating diagnostic adoption across veterinary clinics, laboratories, and research institutions. 

"Our analysis indicates that the veterinary diagnostics market is expanding as companion-animal healthcare spending rises, and livestock disease surveillance becomes more structured, supporting steady demand for testing solutions. Mordor Intelligence combines continuously updated datasets with transparent analytical frameworks, giving decision-makers a balanced and dependable view of market direction," says Soumya Goud, Senior Research Manager, Mordor Intelligence.
