U.S. Equine Regenerative Medicine Market To Reach $80.44 Million By 2030

U.S. Equine Regenerative Medicine Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. equine regenerative medicine market size is expected to reach USD 80.44 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.31% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The primary factors driving the market growth are the increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries in sport & performance horses, the growing integration of regenerative medicine into equine insurance & practice models, advancements in equine regenerative medicine, and the growing pet humanization & equine owner willingness to spend.

Musculoskeletal injuries such as tendonitis, ligament tears, joint damage, and osteoarthritis are increasingly common among sport and performance horses in the U.S. These injuries significantly reduce performance ability, lead to prolonged recovery, and may end careers prematurely. The rise in competitive equestrian events like show jumping, dressage, barrel racing, and endurance racing pushes horses to their physical limits, increasing the risk of soft tissue, joint injuries and other related complications. Traditional therapies (like NSAIDs, surgery) often result in incomplete healing and high rates of re-injury. Regenerative therapies, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cell therapy, and Pro-Stride (autologous protein solution), are gaining traction due to their ability to enhance tissue repair at the cellular level. These approaches promote faster recovery and can restore the horse to full athletic performance, reducing the risk of recurrence.

An example is the increased adoption of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy to treat suspensory ligament desmitis, a common injury in racehorses and jumpers. Studies show MSCs can reduce inflammation and improve tendon fiber alignment, leading to more complete healing. Clinics and referral hospitals now offer such treatments as standard, indicating strong market growth based on injury prevalence.

Furthermore, scientific innovations in veterinary regenerative medicine propel the market forward. Over the past decade, techniques for isolating, expanding, and delivering stem cells or biologic agents have become more efficient, cost-effective, and scalable. Understanding cell biology, tissue engineering, and biomaterials has improved treatment outcomes and broadened applications.

As per data published in February 2025 by Equine Network LLC, injectable gold therapy (GOLDIC) is emerging as a promising treatment for equine osteoarthritis (OA) and other musculoskeletal conditions. By incubating the horse's blood with hydrophilic gold particles, the therapy produces a serum rich in cytokines and growth factors that help reduce inflammation and promote regeneration. In a recent study, GOLDIC significantly improved symptoms of lameness, joint effusion, and swelling in horses, with many becoming asymptomatic after three to six months. As an innovative therapy that offers long-term relief compared to traditional treatments, it could gain traction among veterinarians and horse owners looking for more sustainable solutions. With proven efficacy in reducing inflammation and enhancing tissue regeneration, GOLDIC might encourage the adoption of more advanced orthobiologic treatments in the equine sector. This could increase demand for regenerative therapies, attracting more investment and potentially influencing the development of similar treatments for various musculoskeletal and soft tissue injuries in horses.

U.S. Equine Regenerative Medicine Market Report Highlights

• Based on product, the stem cells segment held the largest market share of 61.75% in 2024. This can be attributed to its ability to promote proper tissue regeneration, improve healing quality, and reduce scar formation in joint, tendon, and ligament injuries. Strategic investments, such as Boehringer’s acquisition of Global Stem Cell Technology, further accelerate innovation, positioning stem cells as a cornerstone of future equine healthcare.

• Based on application, the trauma/ wound care segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 8.65% over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the rising incidence of injuries and increasing awareness of equine health. Innovations in regenerative therapies-such as stem cells, PRP, autologous protein solutions, IRAP, and amniotic-derived products-significantly improve healing and reduce wound scarring. Products like Zarasyl's advanced wound care formulations showcase the potential of science-backed regenerative solutions. This rapid technological advancement positions trauma care as a key driver of future market growth

• By end use, the veterinary research institutes segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 8.75% during the forecast period. This can be owed to their pivotal role in innovation and clinical validation. Their research provides critical evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of regenerative treatments, encouraging wider clinical adoption. By driving breakthroughs in tissue repair and disease prevention, these institutes are shaping the future of equine healthcare.

• The state of Texas dominated the market in 2024 with a share of 16.61%. It is expected to grow rapidly, driven by rising demand for non-invasive treatments and innovations in stem cell and PRP therapies, and the presence of a large horse population. Strategic partnerships, acquisitions, and collaborations between biotech companies and veterinary institutions, like Ardent Equine’s partnership with Pegasus Orthobiologics and Vetirus Pharmaceuticals’ acquisition of Enso Discoveries, further enhance innovation and therapy development, positioning Florida as a leader in the sector.
