Artificial intelligence (AI) in the realm of animal health encompasses the utilization of cutting-edge computational techniques to analyze, interpret, and enhance various facets of animal healthcare. This entails employing algorithms, machine learning, and data analytics to process extensive datasets concerning animal health and welfare.
The primary offerings in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) for animal health consist of hardware, software, and services. Hardware pertains to the tangible components of AI systems utilized in animal health, encompassing sensors, devices, and equipment responsible for gathering data from animals. These facilitate the application of AI algorithms for health monitoring and diagnostics. Under the technology category, one finds machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and other technologies tailored for different animal types such as companion animals and production animals. Applications are further categorized into areas such as diagnostics, identification, tracking, monitoring, and others, serving a diverse range of end users including veterinary clinics and hospitals, research institutions, and farms and livestock producers.
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 artificial intelligence (AI) in animal health research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides artificial intelligence (AI) in animal health market statistics, including the artificial intelligence (AI) in animal health industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with an Artificial intelligence (AI) in animal health market share, detailed artificial intelligence (AI) in animal health market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the artificial intelligence (AI) in animal health industry. This artificial intelligence (AI) in animal health market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The artificial intelligence (ai) in animal health market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.45 billion in 2024 to $1.72 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing applications of AI, availability of ai-based solutions, initiatives by key companies, growing expenditure on animals, integration of ai in veterinary diagnostics.
The artificial intelligence (ai) in animal health market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.52 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to precision management of livestock and veterinary healthcare, data-informed insights and innovative solutions, remote monitoring and diagnosis, early disease detection and anomaly identification, proactive healthcare and personalized medicine. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in veterinary diagnostics, increased adoption of ai technologies, enhanced disease detection and monitoring, growing emphasis on animal welfare and conservation.
The forecast of 19.6% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Duties on Taiwanese GPU servers, edge devices, and smart sensors will slow deployment of AI-enabled diagnostics and herd-management platforms. 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 upward trend in expenditure on animal health is set to drive the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) in the animal health market in the foreseeable future. Expenditure on animal health encompasses the total investment made in maintaining and enhancing the health and well-being of animals. This expenditure is on the rise due to heightened awareness, a growing inclination towards pet humanization, and the increasing demand for advanced veterinary care services, including innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence. Pet owners with greater spending capacity can now access AI-powered telehealth services and remote monitoring solutions, enabling continuous health monitoring of their pets and virtual consultations with veterinarians. For instance, according to the American Pet Products Association, a US-based trade association representing the pet industry, Americans spent $136.8 billion on pet health in 2022, marking a 10.68% increase from the previous year ($123.6 billion). Notably, vet care services accounted for $35.9 billion. Therefore, the escalating expenditure on animal health is propelling the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) in the animal health market.
Prominent companies operating in the artificial intelligence (AI) animal health market are actively developing advanced technologies such as AI solutions for cattle feed recommendations to enhance livestock nutrition and farm management practices. This technology aims to bolster the efficiency of livestock farming by customizing feed plans according to the specific needs of individual animals or groups, taking into account factors such as their age, weight, health status, and nutritional requirements. For instance, in January 2024, Precision Livestock Technologies, a US-based provider of software and hardware solutions for livestock feeding and health, introduced the first system utilizing artificial intelligence to predict cattle feed intake and provide feeding recommendations. This system generates daily quantitative feeding predictions based on hundreds of data points gathered from PLT's machine vision bunk management system and external data sources. It considers feeding rates, feeding times, feeding cycles, cattle behavior, ration type, weather, and other relevant factors to optimize cattle feed management.
In June 2022, Zoetis Inc., a US-based company specializing in animal health products and technologies, acquired Basepaws for an undisclosed sum.
