The global veterinary CT imaging market size was estimated at USD 421.4 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 784.0 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.17% from 2025 to 2033. Some of the key factors driving market growth are rising demand for advanced diagnostic accuracy, technological advancements in veterinary CT systems, and expansion of veterinary specialty clinics and hospitals.
As veterinary cases become more complex and pet owners increasingly expect human-grade care, the demand for precise diagnostic imaging has risen distinctly, leading to greater adoption of CT technology across clinics and hospitals. This increased expectation for accuracy leads veterinarians to rely on CT imaging to detect subtle fractures, soft-tissue lesions, neurological disorders, and internal abnormalities that conventional X-ray cannot capture. As a result, clinics invest in modern CT scanners to improve case outcomes, reduce diagnostic uncertainty, and enhance surgical planning.
For instance, in September 2025, Modern Animal's rapid growth and new funding strengthened its tech-enabled care model, enhancing imaging workflows, improved diagnostic precision, and supported veterinarians with AI-driven tools that accelerated accurate clinical decision-making.
In addition, rapid innovation such as reduced scan times, enhanced image resolution, and lower radiation exposure has transformed veterinary CT systems, causing broader acceptance across diverse practice settings. Newer scanners accommodate animals of varying sizes, minimize anesthesia requirements, and deliver faster results, making CT imaging more efficient and pet-friendly. These improvements encourage veterinarians to replace older systems with modern models to improve patient throughput and clinical confidence. As equipment becomes more compact, affordable, and digitally integrated, even mid-size clinics adopt CT technology, increasing overall market penetration.
Moreover, increasing cases of trauma, orthopedic injuries, cancer, respiratory diseases, and age-related chronic conditions in pets. According to a report, as of March 2024, 407 dogs in the study had been diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma, and despite treatment, approximately 90% succumb within a year of diagnosis. Such rising number of disease overload creates a strong clinical need for advanced imaging, causing veterinarians to rely more heavily on CT diagnostics. Besides this, as companion animals live longer and lifestyle-related disorders become more common, CT imaging becomes essential for timely detection and treatment planning. This clinical complexity pushes veterinarians to adopt systems capable of detailed 3D visualization and rapid assessment. The rising caseload also drives clinics to improve diagnostic efficiency, prompting investment in in-house CT capabilities to reduce external referrals.
Furthermore, rapid growth of veterinary specialty centers, emergency hospitals, and referral practices has increased the demand for sophisticated diagnostic tools, causing expanded adoption of CT imaging systems. For instance, in October 2025, government approved a project to rebuild a modern multi-specialty veterinary hospital in Mumbai, India, offering advanced care for pets and stray animals. Besides this, as more clinics offer advanced services in neurology, oncology, orthopedics, and internal medicine, they require high-resolution imaging to support accurate case evaluations and specialized treatments. This expansion leads hospitals to integrate CT scanners to enhance diagnostic capabilities, reduce referral delays, and remain competitive within regional networks. In addition, professionalization of veterinary care encourages continuous infrastructure upgrades, resulting in greater market penetration of advanced CT systems. Thus, this institutional growth drives consistent demand for high-performance imaging technologies.
