Veterinary Arthroscopy Devices Market to Expand at 5.6% CAGR by 2031, Says Persistence Market Research
The global veterinary arthroscopy devices market is poised for steady and promising growth, driven by increasing adoption of minimally-invasive procedures, a surge in companion animal ownership, and a growing demand for advanced veterinary diagnostics. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% from 2021 to 2031, the market is expected to rise from US$ 343.4 million in 2021 to US$ 593.8 million by 2031. This growth trajectory is backed by technological advancements in arthroscopy systems, rising incidence of joint-related disorders in pets, and strategic industry movements such as mergers and acquisitions.Global demand for veterinary arthroscopy devices is being driven by the increasing prevalence of degenerative joint illnesses in dogs and cats, including lameness, joint swelling, muscle atrophy, pericapsular fibrosis, and crepitation. The use of arthroscopy in companion animals is growing as a result of pet owners' and veterinarians' growing knowledge of arthroscopic procedures.

Market Overview and Growth Drivers
Veterinary arthroscopy has emerged as the gold standard for diagnosing and treating joint disorders in animals, particularly companion animals such as dogs and cats. Compared to traditional open surgeries (arthrotomy), arthroscopy offers the benefits of being minimally-invasive, less painful, and having a shorter recovery time, thereby enhancing the quality of animal care.
➤ Key Market Growth Drivers:
Rise in degenerative joint diseases such as lameness, joint swelling, muscle atrophy, and fibrosis in companion animals.
Growing awareness among veterinarians and pet owners about the advantages of arthroscopic procedures.
Technological advancements in miniaturized and patient-specific devices allowing easier adoption in small-breed animals.
Strong preference for minimally-invasive surgeries, which reduce post-operative complications and overall treatment costs.
Increased pet ownership and spending on veterinary healthcare, especially in North America and parts of Europe and Asia.
According to Persistence Market Research, veterinary arthroscopy device sales represented 6.5% of the global arthroscopic devices market in 2020, indicating its niche but critical importance in the broader surgical tools ecosystem.
Segment Performance
By Product:
Arthroscope and arthroscopic systems continue to be the most demanded product category, contributing to over 43% of the global revenue share in 2021. These devices are fundamental in visualizing and accessing joint interiors with high precision.
➤ CAGR (2021-2031): 5.7%
These systems are widely used in both diagnostic and therapeutic applications, particularly in diagnosing conditions such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, meniscal tears, and cartilage damage in dogs.
By Procedure:
Diagnostic procedures dominate the market, accounting for over 80% share in 2021, and are expected to maintain this lead.
➤ CAGR (2021-2031): 5.5%
Diagnostic arthroscopy allows veterinarians to observe internal joint conditions using camera systems, often replacing more invasive exploratory surgeries. The increasing availability of portable needle arthroscopes is enhancing diagnostic efficiency even further.
By Animal:
Companion animals such as dogs and cats constitute the majority of the demand. Dogs, in particular, suffer from a high prevalence of orthopedic disorders, fueling the adoption of arthroscopy.
By End User:
Veterinary hospitals and specialty clinics are the major end users, owing to better infrastructure, skilled professionals, and higher patient volumes.
Industry Inhibitors
Despite favorable trends, the market faces certain challenges:
➤ Pricing pressure due to intense competition and cost constraints in veterinary services.
➤ Product recalls and quality control issues negatively impacting brand trust and revenue.
➤ Shortage of skilled veterinary professionals, especially in emerging regions.
➤ High cost of advanced arthroscopic equipment, making it unaffordable for smaller veterinary clinics.
➤ Limited access to veterinary care in rural areas, particularly in developing economies.
The economic strain brought on by rising veterinary care costs also poses a significant challenge, limiting the adoption of high-tech arthroscopic equipment by pet owners with limited means.
Mergers, Acquisitions & Strategic Alliances
M&A activities and partnerships are helping manufacturers diversify portfolios and strengthen geographic reach:
➤ In April 2021, Trice Medical acquired Tenex Health, enabling the launch of portable diagnostic tools suitable for small animal and equine practices.
➤ In July 2020, Trice Medical partnered with Canapp Sports Medicine LLC, introducing a veterinary portable tablet that integrates needle arthroscopy and high-resolution ultrasound.
➤ In May 2021, Stryker Corporation completed its acquisition of OrthoSensor, Inc., expanding its intelligent orthopedics capabilities into the veterinary domain.
Such consolidations help manufacturers leverage cross-functional expertise and distribute products through enhanced global networks.
Regulatory and Technological Trends
Advancements in microelectronics have allowed the development of needle arthroscopes, revolutionizing veterinary diagnostics. These instruments offer real-time joint visualization with minimal trauma and no need for general anesthesia.
➤ Standing needle arthroscopy, particularly in horses and large animals, has gained popularity as a safer, cost-effective alternative for preliminary diagnosis.
In terms of regulation, veterinary medical device classification is gradually being standardized across regions. The FDA in the U.S., EMA in Europe, and NPMA in China are aligning with human device protocols to ensure safety and efficacy in animal health tools.
Geographic Forecasts
North America
The region remains the largest market for veterinary arthroscopy devices, led by the U.S., which holds an 89.7% market share within the region. This dominance is due to:
Large and affluent pet population
Presence of global market leaders
High expenditure on pet healthcare
Availability of advanced veterinary infrastructure
Europe
Germany stands out with a CAGR of 5.6%, driven by:
Extensive livestock population
Growing number of veterinary hospitals
Rise in zoonotic diseases
Countries like the UK and France also show significant growth potential due to robust pet insurance schemes and a well-established veterinary care network.
East Asia
China is rapidly emerging as a lucrative market, holding 32.4% share in East Asia and expected to grow at 6% CAGR over the next decade. Key factors include:
Expanding pet ownership
Surge in demand for professional pet care services
Government support for local veterinary infrastructure
Other growth markets in Asia include Japan and South Korea, where aging pet populations and increased awareness are contributing to the demand for arthroscopy procedures.
Opportunities Ahead
➤ Customization and miniaturization of arthroscopy tools tailored for small breeds and exotic pets
➤ Development of cost-effective diagnostic tools with integrated imaging systems
➤ Telemedicine-compatible devices to enable remote diagnostics and improve access in rural areas
➤ Investment in veterinary education and training to address skill shortages
Technological evolution in arthroscopic systems-especially integration with AI-assisted imaging and robotic navigation-is expected to be the next frontier, with prototypes already being tested in equine and large animal surgeries.
COVID-19 Impact and Recovery
The pandemic disrupted veterinary services, with many elective surgeries postponed and limited access to in-person consultations. Sales of arthroscopic devices temporarily dipped, as clinics prioritized urgent care and minimized surgical interventions.
However, the post-pandemic recovery is robust, with veterinary practices witnessing renewed growth in service demand, and pet owners showing a heightened focus on preventive and specialized care. Virtual consultations have also accelerated digital transformation in veterinary diagnostics, opening new avenues for innovation.
