The veterinary oncology market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing prevalence of cancer in companion animals, growing pet ownership and spending, and the rising awareness among pet owners about the availability of treatment options for cancer in animals. The market is also being driven by advancements in veterinary oncology treatments and diagnostics, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy. Additionally, the increasing number of veterinary oncology specialists and the rising demand for personalized treatment options are expected to drive market growth. However, the high cost of treatment and the lack of awareness among pet owners in some regions may hinder market growth. The North American region dominates the veterinary oncology market, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific.
The global Veterinary Oncology Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 592.8 million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10.9% during the forecast period (2022-2030).
