Veterinary Dental Equipment Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Veterinary Dental Equipment Market Analysis

The veterinary dental equipment market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period.

COVID-19 had a significant impact on the veterinary dental equipment market owing to the reduced veterinary consultation and minimal dental visits by the vet to the farms and shelters. For instance, as per a report published by American Veterinary Medical Association in September 2021, veterinarian practices experienced a difficult 18+ months as a result of COVID-19, and many veterinarians adjusted to the real changes it brought about. Veterinary clinics saw only urgent cases in the early months of the epidemic as they ran as necessary enterprises. This significantly impacted the veterinary dental equipment. Now that restrictions have been lifted, and there is an increase in dental diseases in pets and animals, the market is expected to grow. 

As mentioned above, the rising prevalence of veterinary periodontal diseases (PD) is a major driver of the market. Periodontal disease usually begins around one tooth and progresses from there. In stage 1 of periodontal disease, dogs show symptoms of gingivitis. In stage 2, nearly 25 percent of the teeth separate from the gums, and in the later stages 3 and 4 the gum tissue recedes, and the roots of the teeth may be exposed. As per an article published in December 2022 in the MDPI journal, the significant prevalence of PD in dogs and its link to potential local and systemic implications highlight the importance of funding new dental procedures, preventative measures, and medical therapies to better manage this condition in pet animals. 

Furthermore, the increase in dental disease studies in pet animals raises the demand and need for veterinary dental equipment. For instance, as per the article published in January 2021 in the Plos One journal, a study analyzed the association between a combination of nine bacteria and the progression between the PD groups. T. denticola showed a strong association with progression between PD2 and PD3 groups. P. intermedia also showed a reliable association with progression between PD2 and PD4. 

Additionally, veterinary dental equipment or consumables product launches across the globe are highly supporting the growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, in August 2022, Yumove, the joint supplement brand, launched Dental Care Sticks. As the dog chews, a soft center is released, which targets the bacteria which cause bad breath and plaque.

While the market is believed to perform well, the high cost of veterinary equipment is likely to restrain the market growth.
