Veterinary healthcare encompasses the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and injuries in animals. It involves a range of services, including preventive care, diagnostic testing, medical and surgical treatments, and even specialized areas like holistic and conventional treatments. Regular check-ups and vaccinations are essential for preventing diseases and maintaining overall health.
Veterinarians also provide parasite control measures and nutritional counseling. When animals exhibit signs of illness or injury, veterinary hospitals use various tools like blood tests, urinalysis, and imaging techniques (X-rays, ultrasounds, etc.) to diagnose the problem.
Increasing Number of Cats and Dogs as Pets in Mexico
In Latin America including Mexico, the growth rate of apartment households has nearly doubled that of standalone homes, driving demand for smaller pets like cats and small dogs. Around 70.9% to 79% of Mexican households have at least one pet, making Mexico one of the highest pet-owning countries globally. About 54.7% of Mexican households own dogs—roughly 43.8 million dogs across the country. Around 20.2% of households have cats (approx. 16.2 million cats), though street cats likely exceed this number by up to threefold.
Major market trends include the increasing focus on improving livestock productivity and preventing animal diseases.
Emphasis on Improving Livestock Productivity and Preventing Animal Diseases to Elevate Mexico Veterinary Healthcare Market Demand
A new agreement effective December 2024 replaced NOM‑031‑ZOO‑1995, establishing mandatory nationwide protocols for the prevention, control and eradication of bovine TB (Mycobacterium bovis) to enhance livestock productivity and meet export standards. Moreover, SENASICA promoted coordinated regional strategies to eradicate bovine TB, brucellosis, and Boophilus spp. ticks as part of a broader “One Health” production approach, improving both animal health and public safety. By strengthening animal health and safeguarding public safety, these initiatives are expected to stimulate demand for veterinary healthcare services over the forecast period.
Immunodiagnostic Tests to Lead the Market by Product
The immunodiagnostic tests segment is expected to lead the market by product. These tests including ELISAs and rapid antibody/antigen assays are widely used to detect infectious diseases in both pets and livestock with high reliability and speed. Immunodiagnostic tests offer affordable, scalable, and early detection for conditions like parasitic and zoonotic infections. They are preferred by veterinarians due to their specificity, adaptability in point-of-care settings, and effectiveness across various species. This makes immunodiagnostics the most widely adopted diagnostics technology in veterinary health globally.
