Overview
Veterinary diagnostics are a key growth area of the animal health industry with developments in technology and processes used to identify the nature and cause of an illness or injury. An increasing interest from consumers in the wellness of their pets is seeing an increase in pet diagnostics in clinics or via reference labs. This burgeoning sector only features a small handful of companies. The US is by far the largest market, with the rest of the world not as used to regular wellness test for pets.
Key Benefits
IDEXX
IDEXX Laboratories is the largest veterinary diagnostics company with annual revenues in excess of $2 billion.
IDEXX is the leader of both the in-lab diagnostics market and the point-of-care testing sector.
Testing Technology
We forecast continuing acquisitions of veterinary diagnostic labs and testing technology in the future.
Veterinary Diagnostics
Other players in the veterinary diagnostics area are Antech Diagnostics, Zoetis and Heska.
Zoetis
Zoetis has recently been executing several merger and acquisition deals in the diagnostics sector, with its takeover of Abaxis the most notable.
Key Themes Affecting The Diagnostics Market
Consolidation is being closely monitored in the market, with acquisitions in the reference lab area that are seeing Zoetis try to compete with IDEXX and Antech. Development areas of interest include the point-of-care testing space for pets and livestock. Innovation in this area is resulting in tests that can be carried out next to the animal and return results within minutes. This allows vets or farmers to make disease interventions much more quickly than they have been able to do previously.
