The global veterinary software market is expected to reach USD 2.14 billion by 2030 from USD 1.54 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. This growth is driven by rising adoption of AI and data analytics, integration of diagnostics, pharmacy, and payment solutions into PIMS for efficiency, increasing demand for pet insurance, higher spending on animal health, and a growing base of veterinary practitioners. Additionally, greater emphasis on disease control and preventive healthcare is boosting adoption. As legacy systems become outdated and inefficient, the shift toward modernized software presents a significant opportunity for vendors. Moreover, cross-selling veterinary software with diagnostics hardware creates further growth prospects for technology providers. However, challenges such as high switching and migration costs, budget constraints faced by small veterinary practices, and strict compliance requirements in telehealth may limit market expansion to some extent. Furthermore, rising cybersecurity risks in veterinary software remain a major restraint for leading market players.
Some of the major players in the market are IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (US), Covetrus (US), Cencora Inc. (US), Nordhealth (Finland), Carestream Health (US), DaySmart Software (US), Animal Intelligence Software (US), Chetu, Inc. (US), Antech Diagnostics, Inc. (US). The key players in this market have implemented a variety of growth strategies, organic and inorganic, including the introduction of new products, the formation of strategic partnerships, and penetration into emerging markets. These initiatives are aimed at enhancing their market share and diversifying their portfolios.
