The global veterinary rehabilitation services market size was valued at USD 792.5 Million in 2022 and it is anticipated to achieve a market valuation of USD 882 Million in 2023. It is further estimated to reach a market valuation of USD 2.1 Billion by the end of the forecast period while exhibiting a CAGR of 9.06%.
The rising number of companion animals & pet humanization trends, increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal & orthopedic disorders among animals, and growing awareness among pet owners regarding physical rehabilitation as non-invasive & drug-free treatment are some of the key factors fueling this market. In addition, with the growing number of people valuing wildlife conservation, the count of volunteer rehabilitators who rescue and protect wounded/injured wildlife animals is also rising.
For instance, according to a study published in March 2022, by the National Library of Medicine, millions of native animals are rescued, rehabilitated, and protected by wildlife rehabilitators each year globally.
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the veterinary rehabilitation services market, especially during the year 2020. This negative impact was majorly due to lockdowns in various countries which resulted in the closure and denied access to veterinary care. This circumstance has created hurdles among pet owners in accessing veterinary rehabilitation services for their beloved companions due to the cancellation and enforced closure of rehab centers. Moreover, wildlife rehabilitation centers have faced severe challenges during the pandemic with disease contamination risks within the facilities and among native habitats. This concern led the wildlife rehab centers to have interrupted veterinary visits or reduced personnel by around 85% in specific cases.
According to a survey article published in July 2021 by the National Library of Medicine, the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted the main income sources of Latin American wildlife rehabilitation centers in 2020. As most rehabilitation expenses were covered by regular tourist visitations, funds, and donations, the pandemic reduced routine rehabilitation services to a greater extent.
However, the services fairly recovered in 2021 due to the ease of COVID-19 restrictions. For instance, the Noah’s Ark Animal Rehabilitation Center & Sanctuary, Inc. reported that their rehabilitation expenses increased from USD 1,841 in 2020 to USD 9,962 in 2021 owing to the resumption of services. On the other hand, the pandemic has sparked the public’s interest in pet ownership, and hence several countries have witnessed high dog & cat adoption rates in 2020 and 2021.
Furthermore, the growing adoption of pet insurance with rehabilitation services coverage, post-pandemic return to normality with the resumption of veterinary rehab services, growth in the number of vet rehab centers, and increased pet healthcare expenditure are some of the other factors augmenting growth in the veterinary rehabilitation services market. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), the pet care expenditure in the USA raised to reach 123.6 billion in 2021 from USD 90.5 billion in 2018.
Hence, the increasing annual pet healthcare expenditure is one of the major driving factors in the market growth. Moreover, the increasing popularity of veterinary rehab has reflected the devotion of pet owners who have proven their willingness to invest more time and money in their pets’ healthcare. Considering the perceived applications and benefits of rehab, the sector is expected to grow at a fast pace in veterinary medicine.

Expensive veterinary rehab services to restrain the market expansion
The high cost of veterinary rehab services and the shortage of skilled personnel are anticipated to hinder the growth of the global veterinary rehabilitation services market. The cost of diagnostic imaging equipment and veterinary drugs is high, which has led to the high cost of veterinary services.
Lack of awareness in developing or under-developed economies is anticipated to hamper the growth of the global veterinary rehabilitation services market. For instance, cats and dogs are the two most common household companion animals that can be a direct or indirect source of zoonotic infections. These factors will pose challenges to market growth.
North America dominated the veterinary rehabilitation services market and accounted for a revenue share of over 35.1% in 2022. The high share of the region is due to the significant presence of veterinary rehabilitation centers, increasing awareness among pet owners regarding physical rehab services, rising therapy availability, and increasing pet ownership & veterinary expenditure.
The growing number of veterinary hospitals with trained and licensed veterinarians who also offer rehabilitation services is another factor boosting the market growth. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, over 110,000 registered veterinarians were estimated in the USA in 2020, majorly offering services to small animal patients. According to APPA many of these registered veterinarians are currently certified to provide rehabilitation for companion animals.
Europe region holds the second-largest share of the market. This is due to the rising number of wildlife rehabilitation centers and shelter homes in European countries. The growth is also fueled by the rising per capita income and the treatment of pets as a family member.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow fast with a market share of 13% in 2023. This is attributable to the increasing disposable income & veterinary services expenditure in key markets and growing awareness about pet rehab services in developing countries. The growing demand for proper and timely rehabilitation for companions to relieve their painful conditions, and pet humanization in developing countries like India is further boosting the growth of the market.
Asia-Pacific is predicted to remain veterinary pain management's fastest-growing market due to increased government measures to promote awareness, a rise in medical tourism, growing research activities in the region, a rising pet population, and growing demand for better healthcare in the region.

The companion animal segment is anticipated to dominate the market and account for the largest revenue share of around 70% by 2033. Increasing pet ownership rates especially in developed regions, rising pet healthcare services expenditure, growing incidence of chronic orthopedic conditions and widely arising physical rehabilitation requirements are among the factors responsible for the largest share of the segment.
In addition, the growing population rate of dogs in every region further propels the market’s growth. According to the AKC (American Kennel Club), the number of USA households owning dogs reached 69 million (54%) in 2021 which increased from 50% in 2018. Similarly, in Europe, nearly 90 million households (46%) own at least one pet, according to FEDIAF European Pet Food Industry in 2021. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged most people in the world to adopt pets for psychological comfort.
The therapeutic exercises segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of over 20.3% in 2021. Therapeutic or guided exercises are one of the most frequently used physical rehabilitation therapy for companion animals such as dogs. Veterinary therapeutic exercise programs comprise balance therapies, weight shifting, weight loss therapies, and several other exercises using grounded treadmills, cavalletti rails, balance discs, and peanut balls among others.
These exercises improve the body mobility, strength, flexibility, and endurance of animals that have chronic conditions such as arthritis, or those recovering from debilitating musculoskeletal or orthopedic surgery. In addition, for animal patients with neurological conditions, physical rehab exercises catalyze their healing process and speed up the return to normal physic, and promote overall energy and health.
The post-surgery segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest market share of 31% in 2022. This substantial share is due to the growing number of orthopedic surgeries performed for dogs and cats, with the increasing number of veterinarians directing pets toward rehabilitation centers after surgery.
Orthopedic surgeries for companion animals are one of the common procedures that veterinarians perform to treat musculoskeletal issues. Post-operative patients are more likely to consider rehabilitation to reduce inflammation & pain and to improve the healing rate. Physical rehabilitation therapy after surgery has become more common in the veterinary field with newer advancements, which further contributes to segmental growth.
The veterinary rehab centers and hospitals segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest market share of over 45.8% in 2022. This is due to a growing number of veterinary rehab hospitals and centers globally with advanced infrastructures. These centers are very critical for veterinary rehabilitation services as they provide professional therapies with certified veterinary rehabilitators.
The increasing number of veterinary rehab professionals is another factor driving the segment growth in the market. According to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), currently, many veterinary technicians and normal veterinarians are certified to rehabilitate animal patients in veterinary general hospitals. These affirmative factors are contributing to the segmental growth over the forecast period.
The global veterinary rehabilitation services market is consolidated with few large and medium-sized players accounting for most of the market revenue.
