The global spay and neuter market size was estimated at USD 2.66 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 4.26 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.52% from 2025 to 2033. The market is witnessing lucrative growth driven by expansion of low-cost clinics & mobile surgical units, increasing government regulations, bylaws & mandatory sterilization policies, rising growth of animal welfare NGOs & global funding support and increasing awareness & education efforts.
Expansion of low-cost clinics & mobile surgical units is one of the leading drivers for the spay and neuter industry. These low-cost sterilisation clinics and mobile surgical units significantly improve access for underserved urban and rural pet owners, sterilization rates increase. As a result, this increases the demand for high-volume spay/neuter equipment, drugs, and post-operative care products. Welfare organizations, municipal agencies, and private sponsors are investing in mobile outreach programs to address stray-animal control, enabling thousands of additional surgeries annually. For instance, in March 2025, Santa Barbara Humane expanded its mobile spay/neuter clinic, offering free surgeries in underserved California communities after completing 226 procedures in 2024 to reduce pet overpopulation.
Similarly, in July 2024, TACO inaugurated a new Veterinary Hospital with an Animal Birth Control Unit in India, launching a Mobile Health Van, enabling on-site surgeries, diagnostics, and expanded outreach supported by five veterinarians. Such accessibility reduces economic barriers and encourages compliance with local sterilization laws. However, veterinary suppliers witness higher procurement of anesthetics, sutures, consumables, and monitoring devices, while service providers scale staffing, capacity, and geographic coverage driving sustained expansion of the spay & neuter market.
In addition, governments and municipalities have been implementing mandatory sterilization laws, breeder licensing rules, and population control bylaws. As a result, pet owners, breeders, and shelters turn to veterinary providers for timely spay/neuter services. For instance, in September 2025, Georgia launched its first Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Day, providing affordable sterilization and veterinary services in underserved rural areas, addressing overpopulation and supporting local shelters, rescues, and clinics. In addition, municipalities facing rising stray populations adopt enforcement measures and incentivize subsidized sterilization campaigns, prompting NGOs and clinics to expand program capacity.
