Veterinary Surgical Instruments Global Market Report 2025

Veterinary surgical instruments play a vital role in enabling veterinarians and their teams to perform surgeries, contributing significantly to the health and longevity of animals. These tools facilitate access to soft tissue, bone procedures, lesion isolation, and structural repair or removal during treatment processes.

Key products in the field of veterinary surgical instruments include sutures, staplers, various accessories, handheld devices, and electrosurgery instruments. Sutures, staplers, and related accessories are indispensable surgical supplies utilized by veterinarians for wound closure and tissue integrity preservation post-surgery. They are essential in diverse veterinary surgical procedures encompassing soft tissue surgeries, sterilization, gynecology, urology, dental interventions, orthopedics, ophthalmology, and more, addressing the needs of both companion and farm animals.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a considerable impact on the veterinary healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and animal care products. Increased duties on imported veterinary medicines, diagnostic equipment, surgical tools, and pet care supplies have driven up operational costs for veterinary clinics, animal hospitals, and livestock health providers, forcing them to either raise service charges or absorb reduced profit margins. The livestock and agricultural industries are facing similar pressures, as tariffs on feed additives, vaccines, and breeding equipment push up production costs and complicate animal health management. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs in major export markets have weakened demand for U.S.-manufactured veterinary products, adding to revenue challenges. To navigate these headwinds, the sector must now focus on local sourcing, preventive healthcare strategies, and digital veterinary solutions to control costs while continuing to deliver quality animal care.

The veterinary surgical instruments market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.35 billion in 2024 to $1.44 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of veterinary practices, regulatory standards and quality assurance, improved veterinary education, focus on specialized surgeries.

The veterinary surgical instruments market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.98 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing pet healthcare spending, growing demand for specialty instruments, rise in minimally invasive procedures, expanding veterinary services, focus on ergonomic designs. Major trends in the forecast period include shift towards specialized instruments, advancements in veterinary medicine, rise in pet ownership, specialized veterinary surgeries, focus on minimally invasive techniques.

The forecast of 8.1% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariffs on surgical-grade steel and specialized coatings may increase procurement costs for high-precision veterinary surgical tools. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The rising number of surgical procedures performed on pets is anticipated to drive the growth of the veterinary surgical instruments market in the future. A surgical procedure is defined as a medical act that involves making incisions with instruments to treat diseases or repair damage in living organisms. Veterinary surgical instruments enable surgeons to conduct surgeries using tools for incision, dissection, and wound closure. For example, in June 2024, the National Library of Medicine, a US-based medical organization, reported that 212 clinics recorded 190,818 fewer neuter surgeries during the years 2021-2022 compared to prior years. Thus, the increasing number of surgical procedures on pets is fueling the growth of the veterinary surgical instruments market.

The rapid surge in pet ownership is expected to be a significant contributing factor to the expanding veterinary surgical instrument market in the coming years. Pet ownership entails responsibilities such as providing food, shelter, medical care, and emotional support for the well-being of domesticated animals. In cases where pets experience injuries or illnesses post-adoption, veterinary surgical instruments play a vital role in administering treatments that enhance overall health, lifespan, and well-being. For example, recent statistics from the World Animal Foundation in October 2023 indicate a predominant ownership of approximately 65.1 million dogs and 46.5 million cats. Additionally, there are around 2.2 million horse owners and 11 million individuals with saltwater fish tanks. This surge in pet ownership stands as a driving force behind the growth of the veterinary surgical instrument market.

Leading companies in the veterinary surgical instruments market are creating innovative tools, including advanced portable ultrasound systems, to improve diagnostic accuracy, enhance mobility for field veterinarians, and deliver real-time imaging capabilities during surgical procedures. A cutting-edge veterinary portable ultrasound system is a sophisticated diagnostic imaging device tailored specifically for veterinary use. For example, in May 2024, Esaote North America Inc., a US-based company specializing in medical products, introduced the MyLab Omega eXP VET, a state-of-the-art portable ultrasound system designed exclusively for veterinary applications. This new system is positioned within the veterinary surgical instruments market and aims to enhance diagnostic imaging capabilities for veterinarians. This advanced technology offers high-resolution imaging from superficial to deeper tissues, ensuring clarity and precision in diagnostics.

Leading companies in the veterinary surgical instruments market are actively engaging in strategic partnerships to enhance advanced surgical training for animal healthcare professionals. Strategic partnerships involve collaborative efforts where companies leverage shared strengths and resources for mutual benefits. An illustrative instance of this collaborative strategy is evident in Orthomed (UK) Limited, a UK-based company specializing in technically advanced implants and instruments. In April 2022, they unveiled a partnership with Osso VR to introduce RoVR surgical training to the animal health sector. This collaboration, in conjunction with Orthomed and its parent company Infiniti Medical, aims to provide a comprehensive library of veterinary procedures using Osso VR technology. This innovative approach allows veterinarians to develop muscle memory, refine their skills, enhance understanding, and gain confidence in various treatments. The utilization of virtual reality settings for practicing and observing surgeries before performing them on live animals significantly increases the likelihood of successful outcomes. Osso VR, a US-based surgical training company employing virtual reality, is at the forefront of driving this transformative technology.

In 2022, Aspen Surgical Products, Inc., a prominent US-based veterinary hospital, successfully finalized the acquisition of Symmetry Surgical for an undisclosed amount. This strategic initiative by Aspen is designed to enhance its market presence in adjacent categories, diversify its comprehensive product portfolio with clinically preferred items, and stimulate the growth of new commercial capabilities and distribution channels spanning both acute and non-acute care settings. The acquired entity, Symmetry Surgical, is recognized for its specialization in providing surgical instrumentation and innovative solutions within the US market.
