The veterinary rapid test market is projected to reach US$ 1,291.69 million by 2028 from US$ 733.87 million in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2021 to 2028.

The growth of the market is primarily attributed to increasing incidence of zoonotic diseases and rising initiatives by governments and animal welfare associations in different countries. Moreover, the escalating number of product launches is expected to foster market growth during the forecast period. However, the limited number of skilled professionals in veterinary diagnostics and the elevating costs of veterinary care are likely to hinder the market growth. Medical practices worldwide continue to adapt to the challenges of COVID-19. European countries such as Italy and Spain have registered the maximum number of deaths due to COVID-19. However, the animal health industry in European countries is minimally affected. In many countries, millennials are increasingly seeing pets as an alternative to children, which is driving pet adoption. For instance, the demand for dogs and cats has surged in Germany due to the pandemic. According to the German Kennel Club (VDH), in 2020, around 20% more dogs were purchased than the previous year. This is offering lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market in the coming years.
