What is COVID-19 Impact on veterinary molecular diagnostics market?

Country level lockdown of big economies severely impacted the veterinary molecular diagnostics market in a negative way. This negative impact was due to limited production of diagnostic kits, transportation-related delays owing to travel restriction and driver shortages. Geographic location was also considered to be one of the significant factors for the veterinary molecular diagnostics market supply chain.

Visit to diagnostic centers were drastically reduced from third quarter of 2020 until the mid of 2021. At present, the industry is recovering at a steady rate and all the key players of the industry have shifted their focus on the efforts to balance their overall losses due to the worldwide lockdown.

Which Factors Are Restraining Demand for Veterinary molecular diagnostics market?

The rising pet care costs and demand for medical tests and relative need for expensive diagnostic equipment for veterinary molecular diagnosis is expected to restrain the overall market cost. High cost associated with these testing equipment together with limited access to these high costing diagnostic tests has come out to be the biggest hindrance, averting more frequent use of molecular diagnostic techniques. Moreover, the molecular diagnostic technique is cost prohibitive for a large number of pet owners as they do not have pet insurance scheme. Availability & preference for other lower costing diagnostic methods over the expensive RT-PCR test can be seen trending in the market.

Additionally, in various endemic countries, there has been variations in veterinary disease pattern over a period of time owing to the discovery of new virulent. On the other hand, there has also been a very limited knowledge and understanding amongst doctors, about the epidemiological pattern of these diseases in such countries, thereby, creating large gaps. This, therefore, is expected to hamper the discovery and production limit for molecular diagnostic kits to prevent spread of the disease by introducing new disease diagnostic methodologies.    All these factors are expected to retrain the growth of veterinary molecular diagnostics market during the forecast period.

Veterinary Molecular Diagnostics Market - Country-wise Insights

What Makes the U.S. a Large Market for Veterinary molecular diagnostics market?

The U.S. is estimated to account for nearly 88.6% of the North America veterinary molecular diagnostics market demand in 2022. High adoption of pets by U.S population and high involvement by the pet parents in maintaining the healthcare of their pets is expected to drive the demand for veterinary molecular diagnostics market in this country.

Increasing pet adoption rates will, in turn, increase the pool of pets in the veterinary clinics for diagnosis which will fuel the overall revenue of the veterinary molecular diagnostics, thereby, driving the growth of the market.

According to the APPA (American Pet Products Association), in 2017, an estimated 63 million households in the United States owned a dog.

Furthermore, re-emerging concept of ‘One Health’ has impacted the field of molecular testing, especially for the management of infectious diseases. The concept aims at provision of high-throughput molecular screening for companion animals across the involved countries like U.S and generate more revenue.
