The global veterinary oncology market size is expected to reach USD 3.11 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.08% from 2025 to 2030. Increasing prevalence of cancer in pets and demand for veterinary diagnostics are projected to drive the market over the forecast period.
Adoption of canine cancer registry globally to estimate cancer incidences is another driving factor for the market growth. According to frontiers in Veterinary Science in February 2019, the Swiss Canine Cancer Registry (SCCR) was used as a data source and was compiled for future comparative studies of canine and human cancers. This database is further helpful in mitigating the incidence of malignant tumors in the human population, thereby driving the market growth.
Researchers carrying out studies focused on veterinary oncology are further boosting the veterinary oncology market growth. For instance, University of Illinois in August 2017, carried out study that involves more precise detection of metastasis (spread of cancer through the body) for head and neck tumors in dogs. Moreover, the market players are also focusing on new product innovation and strategic collaborations. For instance, in 2018 AdvaVet, a subsidiary of Oasmia Pharmaceutical AB, developed XR17 technology, which is nanoparticle formulation based that makes a single Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) or multiple APIs water soluble. It is a combination therapy and is also a standard treatment for a number of cancer diseases in pet animals.
