China Veterinary Services Market Research Report, 2028

With its booming economy and urbanisation, China has witnessed rapid development in its veterinary services sector. There's a growing demand for pet care and modern veterinary practises. China boasts several renowned veterinary schools and universities that produce highly trained veterinarians and researchers. These institutions contribute to advancements in veterinary medicine. China has one of the world's largest poultry industries. Veterinary services are instrumental in ensuring the health and safety of poultry products. China's relationship with veterinary medicine dates back millennia. Traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM) has been practised alongside traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. TCVM includes acupuncture, herbal remedies, dietary therapy, and other holistic approaches to animal health. In recent years, China has embraced the One Health approach, recognising the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. This approach has proven invaluable in addressing zoonotic diseases like SARS and COVID-19, where veterinary professionals play a critical role in disease surveillance and control. China's urban population is growing, leading to an increase in pet ownership. Urban dwellers are more likely to seek veterinary services for their pets, which drives demand in the market. According to the research report "China Veterinary Services Market Research Report, 2028," published by Actual Market Research, the China Veterinary Service Market was valued at more than USD 5 billion in 2022. As the Chinese middle class expands, more households have disposable income to spend on pet care. Pet owners are willing to invest in veterinary services to ensure the health and well-being of their animals. China places a strong emphasis on the prevention and control of animal diseases. The government conducts disease surveillance, vaccination campaigns, and control measures to protect both livestock and public health. The government has enacted laws and regulations related to animal welfare. These laws aim to ensure the ethical treatment and well-being of animals, covering aspects such as transportation, husbandry, and slaughter. The government funds and regulates veterinary education programmes to produce skilled veterinarians and animal health professionals. This includes support for veterinary schools and institutions. Based on the animal types, which include production animals and companion animals, in China, companion animals will grow at the highest CAGR rate. China's economic development has led to higher disposable incomes for many households. As people's incomes increase, they have more resources to allocate to pet ownership, including expenses related to pet care, food, and accessories. There has been a cultural shift in China towards viewing pets as family members rather than just property. This shift has led to an increased emotional attachment to pets and a willingness to provide them with better care. The influence of social media and online platforms has played a significant role in promoting pet ownership. Many pet owners in China share their pets' lives on social media, which can inspire others to adopt or purchase companion animals. The growth of the pet services industry in China, including pet grooming, training, and healthcare, has made it more convenient and attractive for people to own pets. This infrastructure supports pet ownership.

Based on the service types, which include physical health monitoring, surgery, diagnostic tests and imaging, artificial insemination, grooming, vaccination, and others (biosecurity, dental care, etc.), in China, physical health monitoring is the leading service type. Companion animals, such as dogs and cats, are also a significant part of China's pet ownership culture. Veterinary services for these animals include physical health monitoring, vaccinations, and preventive care. China is home to diverse wildlife, some of which are endangered species. Physical health monitoring of wildlife is essential for conservation efforts, especially for animals in captivity or those facing threats from poaching and habitat loss. Based on the end user segment, which includes veterinary hospitals, veterinary clinics, outdoor/ambulatory facilities, and online facilities, veterinary hospitals are the leading market. Veterinary hospitals typically offer a wide range of comprehensive services, including advanced diagnostics, surgical procedures, emergency care, and in-patient treatment facilities. This makes them a one-stop solution for a broad spectrum of animal health needs. Hospitals have the capacity for inpatient care and continuous monitoring of animals, which is especially important for critical cases or post-operative recovery. This level of care is often not available in smaller clinics. Hospitals affiliated with veterinary schools or universities may engage in research and offer educational opportunities for veterinary students. This research and education component enhances the reputation of hospitals. There are many opportunities and challenges in the Chinese veterinary services market. As China's middle class expands and urbanisation continues, more people are adopting companion animals. This trend offers significant opportunities for veterinary services, including preventive care, diagnostics, and pet-related products and services. Advances in technology, such as telemedicine, digital health records, and diagnostic tools, provide opportunities for improved service delivery, remote consultations, and data-driven healthcare in veterinary practises. Collaborations with international organisations and veterinary experts can enhance China's capacity for disease control, research, and knowledge exchange, contributing to global veterinary standards. Furthermore, navigating the regulatory landscape in China can be challenging, particularly for foreign veterinary practitioners and companies. Compliance with local regulations and licencing requirements is essential. Despite the growth of the sector, there can be a shortage of skilled and specialised veterinary professionals, particularly in rural areas. Addressing this gap is crucial for providing comprehensive veterinary care. Ensuring the ethical treatment and welfare of animals, including farm animals, remains an ongoing challenge. Balancing economic interests with animal welfare can be complex. Considered in this report
