The sutures and staplers segment accounted for USD 143.3 million in 2025. This segment remains dominant due to its critical role in a wide range of veterinary procedures, from basic wound management to complex surgical interventions. Sutures continue to be widely used because of their adaptability, affordability, and effectiveness across different tissue types, while surgical staplers are increasingly preferred in faster and more efficient surgical workflows, particularly in high-volume procedures.

The companion animals segment held a 61.1% share in 2025. This category includes animals such as dogs, cats, horses, and other household pets. The strong market position of companion animals is primarily driven by increasing pet adoption rates and growing willingness among households to spend on animal healthcare. A large portion of the U.S. population owns pets, with dogs being the most owned animal, followed by cats. The expanding pet population and rising expenditure on veterinary services continue to support strong growth in this segment.
