(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Geographic expansion, product development and technological advancements enhance revenue streams, while AI and rapid on-site diagnostics drive adoption.

Dublin, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Europe Companion Animal Diagnostics Market Size and Forecast (2021 - 2031), Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Europe's companion animal diagnostics market is forecast to reach US$ 2,267.4 million by 2031, increasing from US$ 1,207.4 million in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5% from 2025 to 2031, according to the report.

Market expansion is being supported by technological innovation, growing pet owner awareness of preventive healthcare, stronger veterinary infrastructure, and continued investment by established diagnostics companies. Stringent animal health regulations across Europe are also encouraging veterinary professionals to adopt accurate testing solutions for disease detection, monitoring, and treatment planning.

Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, and the Rest of Europe are included in the regional analysis. Germany and the UK are expected to remain prominent markets due to their developed veterinary networks, supportive animal welfare policies, and demand for advanced companion animal diagnostic services. Government initiatives and the availability of specialized veterinary hospitals, clinics, and laboratories are further improving access to diagnostic testing.

Veterinary hospitals and clinics are increasingly adopting advanced testing platforms to deliver faster and more reliable results. At the same time, rising veterinary care and diagnostic costs are strengthening demand for pet insurance. Wider insurance adoption can improve access to preventive screening and specialized testing while helping pet owners manage healthcare expenditure.

• End Users: The analysis includes Diagnostic and Reference Laboratories, Veterinary Hospitals and Clinics, Research Institutes, and Others. Veterinary Hospitals and Clinics represented the largest end-user segment in 2024.

Competitive and technology developments

The European companion animal diagnostics sector includes both large multinational organizations and specialized companies. Market participants are pursuing geographic expansion, product development, platform integration, and technological advancement to strengthen their competitive positions and expand revenue opportunities.

• In July 2024, EKF Diagnostics launched the Biosen C-Line glucose and lactate analyzer. The system features a touch screen and enhanced connectivity options designed to support integration with hospital and laboratory IT systems.
• In September 2025, Zoetis added AI Urine Sediment Analysis to its Vetscan Imagyst platform. The technology enables veterinary clinics to analyze fresh urine samples within minutes and uses deep learning AI to identify critical sample components.

These developments demonstrate the industry's focus on efficient workflows, connected diagnostic systems, and faster access to clinically relevant information. Continued adoption of artificial intelligence, molecular testing, and automated analysis is expected to support improved veterinary decision-making and companion animal health outcomes.

Germany maintains a leading position

Germany held the largest market share in 2024, supported by an established animal diagnostics sector comprising private and public laboratories. Demand is being strengthened by rapid on-site diagnostics and the increasing use of molecular biology and genomics. The Institute for Animal Health of LUFA Nord-West in Oldenburg, for example, provides diagnostic services to veterinarians, farmers, and breeding associations through an established quality assurance system.

Commercial product activity is also contributing to Germany's market development. In April 2024, Antech launched the advanced in-hospital Nu.Q Canine Cancer Test. INDICAL previously introduced an updated range of Virotype 2.0 PCR kits in November 2022, reflecting continued investment in veterinary molecular diagnostics.

Overall, the report indicates strong long-term growth prospects for Europe's companion animal diagnostics sector. Advancing diagnostic technologies, greater attention to preventive pet healthcare, expanding veterinary services, and increasing insurance uptake are expected to shape market development through 2031.
