美国兽医市场规模、份额和趋势分析报告：按类型、性别和细分市场预测，2025-2033年

美国兽医市场概况

据估计，2024年美国兽医市场价值为158.7亿美元，预计到2033年将达到306.7亿美元。

预计从 2025 年到 2033 年，该市场将以 7.79% 的复合年增长率成长。推动市场成长的关键因素包括：兽医专业人员短缺导致薪资上涨和服务范围扩大、宠物健康问题和疾病负担日益加重，以及政府对兽医的扶持力度增加。

美国兽医和认证技师长期短缺，正透过提高薪资、提升诊所盈利和加快诊所扩张投资来推动市场成长。根据2024年6月的一项研究，兽医职业倦怠导致许多人过早离开这个行业，预计到2032年，需要新增70,092名兽医才能满足需求。然而，目前的毕业生群体只能满足其中76%的需求，导致各地区兽医短缺比例失衡。此外，医院也面临临床职位空缺难以填补以及病例量不断增加带来的压力。这促使人们采用远距分诊、工作流程自动化和人工智慧辅助诊断等效率工具。

劳动力短缺也推高了兽医服务的市场价值，迫使诊所提高价格以满足劳动力需求。因此，劳动力短缺加速了招聘、专业培训和诊所整合，最终推动了美国兽医服务提供、劳动力解决方案和整体市场的成长。下图显示了美国公共机构/公司兽医的就业状况，预计到2024年将有14,663名兽医从业：

此外，宠物慢性病、文明病相关疾病和老龄化相关疾病（如肥胖、糖尿病、牙科疾病、关节炎、癌症和皮肤病）的增加，是推动市场发展的另一个主要因素。随着宠物寿命的延长，以及饲主开始像对待人类一样看待宠物护理，对定期体检、先进诊断技术、处方药和疾病管理方案的需求持续增长。加之人们越来越意识到早期发现、预防性健康管理计划和长期治疗的重要性，促使人们更多地前往兽医诊所就诊，并扩大了诊所提供的服务范围。此外，室内宠物的焦虑、行为问题、食物过敏和感染疾病也进一步推高了临床病例的数量。例如，2024年12月发表的一项研究指出，人们越来越关注宠物的心理健康。一项针对约45,000名宠物主人的调查发现，99%的受访者表示他们的宠物有中度至重度的行为问题，其中分离焦虑和依恋障碍最为常见。这些日益严重的健康问题直接推动了对更先进的兽医专业知识、专家和持续护理模式的需求，从而直接促进了市场成长。

此外，政府的支持措施，例如扩大兽医队伍、改善医疗服务可及性以及加强国家动物卫生基础设施，正在显着推动美国医疗产业的成长。例如，2025年11月，美国农业部（USDA）兽医服务津贴计划和其他项目拨款380万美元，用于农村诊所的扩建、设备升级和培训项目，从而扩大诊所服务范围并提升营运能力。这些津贴直接解决了肉类兽医严重短缺的问题，并支持在服务不足地区建立和维持诊所运作。此外，联邦政府的各项倡议，例如于2025年9月启动的“农村兽医行动计划”，重点关注兽医招聘、留任和贷款偿还援助等奖励，从而改善兽医职业的就业机会和经济永续性。因此，透过发展更强大的兽医队伍、扩大农村地区的服务范围以及改善疾病预防体系，这些政府倡议正在推动全国范围内对兽医专业人员的持续需求。

U.S. Veterinarians Market Summary

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.
