Veterinary Ultrasound Devices Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Device Type (Benchtop, Handheld), By End-user(Veterinary hospitals, Veterinary surgical centers, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Ultrasound has established its dominance for the diagnosis of diseases in humans as well as animals. With more detailed insights of the tissues and organs, veterinary ultrasound is used extensively for the detection of tumors, bladders stones, abnormal heart function and other diseases in animals. Since ultrasound is non-invasive and free of radiations, it is becoming more and more portable and cheaper when compared to other imaging techniques.

As the stillness of the animals poses a major problem, a variety of portable veterinary ultrasound devices are available with different image modality, that aids in the better and easy diagnosis of veterinary diseases. With the introduction of therapeutic ultrasound for the treatment of diseases in animals, a new revolution is expected in the global veterinary ultrasound devices market.

For instance, in November 2017 Focused Ultrasound Foundation launched a program to test the therapeutic efficacy of focused ultrasound to treat tumors in animals.

The growth in global veterinary ultrasound devices market is anticipated to be driven by the increase in the number of pet owners, rising demand for non-invasive diagnostic techniques for animals, and increased government efforts to establish veterinary clinics and hospitals. Unlike the other imaging techniques such as CT and MRI, the animal need not be sedated in ultrasound, which gives a competitive advantage to the ultrasound devices and is expected to propel the growth of global veterinary ultrasound devices market.

However, the lack of skilled professional in underdeveloped countries and limited application of ultrasound devices when compared to CT or MRI are major factors the can hinder the growth in global veterinary ultrasound devices market during the forecast period.
