Veterinary Education Market Size & Trends
The global veterinary education market size was estimated at USD 2.99 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2024 to 2030. The market is driven by a growing demand for specialized services and increasing government initiatives to support veterinary education. Furthermore, the rising demand for animal grooming services and technological advancements driving the need for a skilled workforce are estimated to drive the market growth in the forecast period.
The growing demand for specialized services is driving the market. According to 2024 data from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), there are around 22 specialty organizations recognized by AVMA comprising 46 distinct specialties in the U.S., and over 16,500 veterinarians have been granted diplomas in these specialties after completion of postgraduate training, education, and examination requirements. Further, as pet owners become more knowledgeable and willing to invest in advanced care for their animals, there's an increasing need for veterinarians with expertise in oncology, cardiology, and neurology. This trend pushes educational institutions to expand their curricula and offer more specialized training programs, ensuring graduates are equipped to meet the evolving needs of the animal healthcare industry.
Increasing government initiatives to support veterinary education are crucial in shaping the market. Many countries recognize the importance of animal health concerning public health, food safety, and economic stability. Organizations such as the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) provide tools and support to strengthen workforce development, including curricula development and para-professional training. As a result, governments are allocating more funds to schools, offering scholarships, and implementing policies to encourage students to pursue careers in animal medicine. These initiatives are improving the quality of education and increasing accessibility to this field of study.
The rising demand for grooming services influences the market. As pet ownership continues to grow and owners place greater emphasis on their animals' appearance and hygiene, an increased need for professionals skilled in grooming techniques can be seen in the industry. Nearly 54% of households in the U.S. own a dog; pet owners spend over USD 6 billion for pet grooming annually, which has exceeded in recent years in North America. According to an article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2020, 81% of U.S. dog owners had groomed their pets annually. In addition, at-home grooming was the most adopted type of grooming (41%), dog salons (30%), mobile grooming service (9%), retailer (8%), and self-service center (6%). This trend prompts institutions to incorporate more comprehensive grooming courses into their programs, ensuring interested individuals become well-rounded and capable of offering a wider range of services to meet client demands.
Technological advancements drive the need for a skilled workforce in this animal health field, significantly impacting the market. As new diagnostic tools, treatment methods, and healthcare management systems emerge, veterinarians must use these technologies proficiently. Schools are enhancing their study programs to include training in telemedicine, 3D printing for prosthetics, and advanced imaging techniques. This emphasis on technology in education ensures that future veterinarians are prepared to leverage these innovations in their practice, ultimately improving animal care outcomes.
There has been a significant rise in the shortage of veterinarians globally. The shortage of veterinarians creates a demand for more individuals to enter the profession, driving enrollment in schools and programs. Schools may expand their programs or establish new schools to meet the demand for trained veterinarians. This expansion increases competition among educational institutions and can lead to innovations in curriculum and teaching methods. The shortage of veterinarians in countries like the U.S. profoundly affects access to animal healthcare and the overall welfare of healthcare professionals.
Organizations like the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) collaborate with academic institutions, medical associations, industry leaders, and other stakeholders to ensure that colleges and higher education institutions can adequately address these shortages and effectively meet the increasing demands on the animal healthcare sector. In addition, the shortage of veterinarians drives the market by increasing demand for education and training, influencing program expansion, impacting tuition costs, and shaping efforts to address workforce needs in various sectors of the profession.
