Companion Animal Diagnostics Market Drivers

Rapid testing and portable tools for point-of-care diagnostic services followed by insurance for animal care are in high demand

• Portable diagnostic tools for point-of-care (PoC) services have evolved as a significant component for detecting animal illnesses in recent years. The major manufacturers in the companion animal diagnostics market are concentrating on the release of portable tools for field veterinarians. Portable systems are often utilised in distant areas such as the patient's house or a shelter home, as well as during an emergency. The expanding need among veterinarians for on-the-spot diagnostics, as well as their simplicity of use in moving data from one department to the next within big veterinary hospitals and academic and research organisations, are driving the increased usage of such tools. 
• Rapid tests are becoming more popular among end users because to benefits such as simplicity of use, specificity, repeatability, and low cost. As a result, firms have increased their attention on delivering speedy tests onto the market that may provide definite answers in less than 24 hours or even during the initial inspection of the animal. The rising need for innovative technologies that can give quick results and real-time diagnostic convenience is likely to generate considerable potential prospects for market participants.
• Spending on pet healthcare has risen dramatically in recent years, including the purchase of pet food, supplies/over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, veterinarian treatment, pet insurance coverage, and other services (such as companion animal diagnostic services). Because of the considerable increase in pet care spending in recent years, a large number of pet owners, particularly in major markets throughout North America and Europe, are acquiring pet insurance.

Companion Animal Diagnostics Market Restraint

Rising pet care cost may stymie the market growth

• Increasing pet care costs, as well as a lack of veterinarians in developing economies, will likely act as restraints for companion animal diagnostic market growth over the forecasted timeframe. 
  Lack of animal healthcare awareness will be the most significant challenge to market growth.
