The market refers to the use of telecommunication and information technologies to provide remote veterinary services, diagnose and treat animals. This market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing number of pet owners and the need for convenient and affordable veterinary care. Practo, a leading health tech company, is one of the key players in this market, offering teleconsultations for pets. The Market is expected to grow in sectors like Animal Husbandry, Dairying, and Livestock farming, where large numbers of animals require regular care. Zoonotic diseases, such as flea and tick-borne diseases, are a major concern, driving the demand for this services.
In Europe, countries like the Netherlands are forerunners in this field, with organizations like Forerunner Ventures and Eclipse Ventures investing in veterinary telehealth startups. Conditions like diabetes, kidney diseases, and spinal disc problems in pets and animals are common reasons for veterinary consultations. Telehealth offers treatment options for these conditions, making veterinary healthcare more accessible. Veterinary telehealth services cater to pets, including cats, dogs, horses, cattle, sheep, and swine. Veterinary clinics are increasingly adopting telehealth to expand their reach and improve animal care.
Increasing population of livestock is notably driving market growth. The global veterinary telehealth market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing population of livestock animals, particularly in countries like India, Brazil, and the US, which had the largest cattle populations in 2020. The demand for animal-based protein, including meat, poultry, and dairy products, has led to increased production in the livestock industry, resulting in a greater need for veterinary care. In the poultry sector, the market for poultry eggs is projected to reach USD44.80 billion by 2024, driving the expansion of the veterinary market.
Telecommunication technologies, such as telemedicine, teleconsulting, and telemonitoring, are increasingly being utilized for the treatment of joint diseases like osteoarthritis in livestock animals, including cats, dogs, horses, cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry. Furthermore, the importance of preventive care and diagnostics in veterinary healthcare has led to the adoption of solutions for nutrition management and obesity treatment. Veterinary clinics are leveraging these technologies to provide remote consultations and monitoring services, making veterinary care more accessible and convenient for farmers and pet owners.
Increasing demand for remote veterinary monitoring is the key trend in the market. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) in veterinary healthcare utilizes telecommunication technologies to collect and transmit data related to the health and nutrition of animals, including livestock such as cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, horses, cats, and dogs, from one location to veterinary professionals at a different site. This data is vital for diagnosing and treating conditions like joint diseases, such as osteoarthritis, and obesity, as well as preventive care and ongoing treatment. RPM enhances animal care by enabling veterinary professionals to assess and recommend effective treatment plans based on real-time data, reducing the need for frequent in-person visits.
Furthermore, RPM facilitates the efficient management of clinical workflows through teleconsulting, telemonitoring, and the use of animal-based products. This approach ensures high-quality veterinary care for pets and livestock, allowing for timely intervention and improved health outcomes. In home care settings, mobile veterinary telehealth services provide animal-centric care, ensuring that veterinary professionals can monitor and track healthcare data continuously.
Stringent regulatory and legal considerations is the major challenge that affects the growth of the market. Telecommunication technologies have revolutionized veterinary healthcare, enabling professionals to deliver services remotely to pets and livestock animals. Telehealth solutions such as teleconsulting, telemonitoring, and telemedicine have expanded treatment options for various conditions, including joint diseases like osteoarthritis and obesity. However, the adoption of telehealth in veterinary care faces regulatory and legal challenges. State and federal laws and regulations, securing licenses across jurisdictions, contractual agreements, reimbursements and insurance, malpractice, and other veterinary policies and procedures pose significant hurdles.
Further, these issues may discourage veterinary healthcare providers from adopting telehealth technology and instead opt for traditional veterinary clinics. Livestock farming and livestock care also benefit from telehealth, with telemonitoring of animal health and nutrition essential for large-scale operations involving cattle, sheep, swine, horses, and poultry. In summary, while telehealth offers numerous advantages in veterinary care, the regulatory landscape and legal complexities present challenges that require careful consideration.
