The global veterinary renal disease market size is anticipated to reach USD 24.85 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2030. Rising prevalence of renal diseases coupled with adoption of therapeutic food as a treatment are key growth drivers for this market. Renal diseases like chronic kidney disease (CKD), renal failure, etc. cause irreversible damage to the renal system of animals. Despite no definite cure for this disease, proper management by various types of therapies can help in the betterment of animal life. One of the most prominent methods is that of nutritional management through therapeutic food.
Another crucial market propeller is the rising adoption of AI in veterinary renal disease diagnostics and treatment. Imaging plays a significant role in veterinary medicine by offering vital data for regular preventative measures as well as the assessment of disease and injury. AI can prove to be a very beneficial tool, especially in radiologist deficient geographies. Associated benefits such as faster and enhanced diagnostic capabilities is anticipated to increase adoption of AI and thereby influence positively on market in near future.
Mars Inc, which is a prominent player in the animal health space, has already stepped into the field of applying AI to veterinary diagnostics and treatment. Antech Diagnostics (Mars Inc.) introduced RenalTech, a cutting-edge diagnostic tool, in 2019. RenalTech uses artificial intelligence (AI) to evaluate pet medical record data and forecast a cat's risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) up to two years ahead of an established clinical diagnosis.
Moreover, market dynamics such as product portfolio expansion, M&A, consolidation activities are further anticipated to provide growth platform to this market. For example, in September 2023, Elanco Animal Health received conditional U.S. FDA approval for Varenzin-CA1 (molidustat oral suspension), as the treatment to control non-regenerative anemia in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Furthermore , in December 2023, Neogen Corporation partnered with the TerraNova Equestrian Center in Myakka City, Florida, making the company the official biosecurity provider of the facility for diagnostic testing products.
