據估計,2024年美國獸醫市場價值為158.7億美元,預計到2033年將達到306.7億美元。
預計從 2025 年到 2033 年,該市場將以 7.79% 的複合年成長率成長。推動市場成長的關鍵因素包括:獸醫專業人員短缺導致薪資上漲和服務範圍擴大、寵物健康問題和疾病負擔日益加重,以及政府對獸醫的扶持力度增加。
美國獸醫和認證技師長期短缺,正透過提高薪資、提升診所盈利和加快診所擴張投資來推動市場成長。根據2024年6月的一項研究,獸醫職業倦怠導致許多人過早離開這個行業,預計到2032年,需要新增70,092名獸醫才能滿足需求。然而,目前的畢業生群體只能滿足其中76%的需求,導致各地區獸醫短缺比例失衡。此外,醫院也面臨臨床職位空缺難以填補以及病例量不斷增加帶來的壓力。這促使人們採用遠距分診、工作流程自動化和人工智慧輔助診斷等效率工具。
勞動力短缺也推高了獸醫服務的市場價值,迫使診所提高價格以滿足勞動力需求。因此,勞動力短缺加速了招聘、專業培訓和診所整合,最終推動了美國獸醫服務提供、勞動力解決方案和整體市場的成長。下圖顯示了美國公共機構/公司獸醫的就業狀況,預計到2024年將有14,663名獸醫從業:
此外,寵物慢性病、文明病相關疾病和老齡化相關疾病(如肥胖、糖尿病、牙科疾病、關節炎、癌症和皮膚病)的增加,是推動市場發展的另一個主要因素。隨著寵物壽命的延長,以及飼主開始像對待人類一樣看待寵物護理,對定期體檢、先進診斷技術、處方藥和疾病管理方案的需求持續成長。加之人們越來越意識到早期發現、預防性健康管理計劃和長期治療的重要性,促使人們更多地前往獸醫診所就診,並擴大了診所提供的服務範圍。此外,室內寵物的焦慮、行為問題、食物過敏和感染疾病也進一步推高了臨床病例的數量。例如,2024年12月發表的一項研究指出,人們越來越關注寵物的心理健康。一項針對約45,000名寵物主人的調查發現,99%的受訪者表示他們的寵物有中度至重度的行為問題,其中分離焦慮和依戀障礙最為常見。這些日益嚴重的健康問題直接推動了對更先進的獸醫專業知識、專家和持續護理模式的需求,從而直接促進了市場成長。
此外,政府的支持措施,例如擴大獸醫隊伍、改善醫療服務可及性以及加強國家動物衛生基礎設施,正在顯著推動美國醫療產業的成長。例如,2025年11月,美國農業部(USDA)獸醫服務津貼計劃和其他項目撥款380萬美元,用於農村診所的擴建、設備升級和培訓項目,從而擴大診所服務範圍並提升營運能力。這些津貼直接解決了肉類獸醫嚴重短缺的問題,並支持在服務不足地區建立和維持診所運作。此外,聯邦政府的各項舉措,例如於2025年9月啟動的“農村獸醫行動計劃”,重點關注獸醫招聘、留任和貸款償還援助等獎勵,從而改善獸醫職業的就業機會和經濟永續性。因此,透過發展更強大的獸醫隊伍、擴大農村地區的服務範圍以及改善疾病預防體系,這些政府舉措正在推動全國範圍內對獸醫專業人員的持續需求。
The U.S. veterinarians market size was estimated at USD 15.87 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 30.67 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.79% from 2025 to 2033. Some of the key factors propelling market growth are a shortage of veterinary professionals driving wage growth & service expansion, expanding pet health concerns & disease burden, and rising government initiatives for veterinarians.
The persistent shortage of veterinarians and licensed technicians in the U.S. is driving the market growth by increasing wages, enhancing practice profitability, and accelerating investment in clinic expansion. According to a June 2024 study, veterinarian burnout has led to early exits from the profession, with projected demand through 2032 requiring 70,092 new veterinarians. However, expected graduates meet only 76% of this demand, creating uneven geographic shortages. Additionally, hospitals face difficulties filling clinical positions and experiencing higher caseload pressure. This drives practices to adopt efficient tools such as tele-triage, workflow automation, and AI-assisted diagnostics.
This scarcity of talent also raises the market value of veterinary services, as clinics increase prices to match labor demand. As a result, the workforce gap intensifies recruitment efforts, specialty training, and practice consolidations, ultimately stimulating growth in veterinary service delivery, staffing solutions, and overall market capacity in the U.S. The chart below highlights the public/corporate employment landscape of U.S. veterinarians with an employment of 14,663 in 2024:
In addition, the increasing prevalence of chronic, lifestyle-related, and age-associated conditions in pets, such as obesity, diabetes, dental disease, arthritis, cancer, and dermatological disorders, is a major driver of the market. As pets live longer and owners humanize pet care, the demand for regular checkups, advanced diagnostics, prescription medications, and disease-management plans continues to grow. Besides this, rising awareness of early-stage detection, preventive wellness programs, and long-term therapeutic care increases the frequency of veterinary visits and expands the scope of services provided. In addition, anxiety and behavioral issues in indoor pets, food allergies, and infectious diseases further heighten clinical caseloads. For instance, researchers reported in December 2024 highlighted a rising concern for pets' mental well-being. In a survey of nearly 45,000 pet guardians, 99% reported moderate or severe behavioural issues, with separation anxiety and attachment problems being the most common in pets. Thus, expanding health concerns require more veterinary expertise, specialty practitioners, and continuous care models, directly boosting market growth.
Furthermore, supportive government initiatives are significantly driving the growth of the U.S. veterinary industry by expanding workforce capacity, improving access to care, and strengthening national animal health infrastructure. For instance, in November 2025, programs such as the USDA's Veterinary Services Grant Program provide funding of USD 3.8 million for rural practice enhancement, equipment upgrades, and training initiatives that help clinics expand services and improve operational capability. These grants directly address critical shortages of food-animal veterinarians, enabling more professionals to establish or sustain practices in underserved regions. In addition, federal initiatives such as the Rural Veterinary Action Plan, launched in September 2025, focus on recruitment, retention, and loan-repayment incentives that make veterinary careers more accessible and financially viable. Thus, by building a stronger veterinary workforce, enhancing rural service availability, and improving disease-prevention systems, these government actions propel sustained demand for veterinary professionals across the country.
