Veterinary Laboratory Testing Services Global Market Report 2026

Veterinary laboratory testing services encompass a variety of diagnostic procedures used to detect diseases, infections, and other health conditions in animals through advanced technologies. These services play a crucial role for veterinarians and animal owners in managing animal health, preventing disease outbreaks, and ensuring food safety by identifying zoonotic pathogens.

The primary technologies employed in veterinary laboratory testing services include clinical biochemistry, immunodiagnostics, hematology, molecular diagnostics, urinalysis, and various other technologies. Clinical Biochemistry, a branch of laboratory medicine, focuses on detecting chemicals-both natural and synthetic-in blood, urine, and other bodily fluids. These veterinary laboratory testing services offer benefits for both pet animals and livestock, catering to a diverse range of end users such as veterinary hospitals and clinics, diagnostic laboratories, research institutes, in-house testing facilities, and other entities involved in animal health.

Tariffs have influenced the veterinary laboratory testing services market by raising costs for imported diagnostic equipment, reagents, and advanced testing kits. Technologies such as molecular diagnostics, immunodiagnostics, and hematology analyzers are most impacted, particularly in regions like North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific where imports dominate. While tariffs have increased operational costs and slowed expansion in veterinary hospitals and diagnostic labs, they have also encouraged local production, stimulated domestic innovation, and promoted development of cost-effective and rapid testing solutions.

The veterinary laboratory testing services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $25.94 billion in 2025 to $27.97 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption of veterinary laboratory testing services, growth of companion animal healthcare, advancements in hematology and biochemistry testing, rising awareness of zoonotic diseases, limited availability of integrated diagnostic platforms.

The veterinary laboratory testing services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $38.14 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of molecular and immunodiagnostic services, rise in rapid and point-of-care testing adoption, integration of multi-technology lab platforms, increasing preventive health programs for animals, adoption of cloud-based data management and analytics. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of molecular diagnostics, rapid point-of-care testing services, advanced immunodiagnostic techniques, integration of multi-technology laboratory platforms, preventive health screening for livestock and companion animals.

The rising rate of pet ownership is anticipated to drive the expansion of the veterinary laboratory testing services market in the years ahead. Pet ownership refers to the responsibility of looking after a domesticated animal, such as a dog, cat, bird, fish, or other small pets, by fulfilling their needs, including food, shelter, exercise, and medical care. The proportion of pet owners globally continues to rise, which has increased demand for veterinary diagnostic services. Pet owners are becoming increasingly conscious of the importance of routine check-ups and preventive care for their animals, leading to higher demand for veterinary laboratory testing services. For example, in June 2025, the Petfood Industry, a US-based resource for pet food and treat manufacturers, reported that a record 94 million U.S. households owned at least one pet, up from 82 million in 2023, highlighting a significant rise in pet ownership that fuels demand for veterinary services, including diagnostic testing. Thus, increasing pet ownership is supporting the growth of the veterinary laboratory testing services market.

Major companies in the veterinary laboratory testing services market are concentrating on developing advanced, integrated diagnostic systems, such as comprehensive end-to-end veterinary diagnostic platforms, to address the growing need for quicker, more precise tests, early disease identification, and efficient clinical workflows driven by higher pet ownership and greater focus on preventive veterinary care. A comprehensive end-to-end veterinary diagnostics platform is an all-in-one system that integrates reference laboratory testing, in-clinic diagnostic devices, imaging, digital pathology, and data analytics into a unified process, helping veterinarians provide faster, more accurate diagnoses, simplify clinical decisions, and improve patient outcomes compared with separate or standalone diagnostic services. For instance, in November 2023, Antech, a U.S.-based veterinary diagnostics company and part of Mars Science & Diagnostics, introduced its first comprehensive veterinary diagnostics solution in the UK, supported by a new cutting-edge reference laboratory in Warwick. The solution combines reference laboratory services with in-clinic diagnostics, advanced imaging tools, telemedicine, and innovative technologies such as a DNA-based gastrointestinal parasite screening test; a rapid imaging system that delivers diagnostic results in under ten minutes; and an upcoming nucleosome-based test aimed at screening and monitoring canine cancer. This integrated approach improves diagnostic precision, shortens diagnosis time, and provides veterinarians with flexible, data-driven testing capabilities across multiple clinical needs.

In April 2023, Mars, Incorporated, a U.S.-based manufacturer of confectionery, pet food, and other food products, as well as a leader in animal diagnostic innovations, acquired Heska Corporation for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Heska Corporation supports Mars Petcare's science and diagnostics division in expanding its diagnostic offerings and strengthening point-of-care veterinary testing across the global pet healthcare sector. Heska Corporation is a U.S.-based provider of advanced veterinary diagnostics and specialized solutions.
