Veterinary Telemedicine Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases in animals
Globally, the prevalence of several chronic conditions has increased in animals over the last decade. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disease in both cats and dogs. It is estimated that approximately 1 in 200 cats and 1 in 300 dogs develop diabetes in their lifetime. Also, according to the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS), chronic kidney disease (CKD) is prevalent in aging cats and dogs. It is estimated that up to 30% of cats and 10% of dogs over the age of 10 suffer from CKD. Similarly, Cancer is a group of diseases that can affect any part of the body. It is the second leading cause of death in dogs and the third leading cause of death in cats. (Source: National Cancer Institute).
Restraint: High costs associated with the services
The high cost of veterinary telemedicine can factor that may limit its widespread adoption and act as a restraint for the market. While telemedicine offers numerous benefits in terms of convenience, accessibility, and reduced stress for both pets and their owners, the cost associated with providing telemedicine services can be a restraint for the growth of the market. Several factors contribute to the cost of veterinary telemedicine services. Such as, implementing a telemedicine platform requires initial investment in technology infrastructure, software development, and staff training. Additionally, maintaining secure communication channels, complying with data privacy regulations, and ensuring reliable internet connectivity all add to the expenses. Furthermore, veterinarians offering telemedicine services charge consultation fees that are comparable to or slightly lower than in-person visits. However, depending on the nature of the medical condition, certain cases may require additional diagnostic tests or in-person examinations, leading to additional costs. These costs can accumulate, particularly for ongoing treatment or complex medical conditions.
Opportunity: The advancement of technology
Advancements in technology play a crucial role in the growth and development of veterinary telemedicine. These advancements have improved the quality of care, expanded the range of services, and increased accessibility for both veterinarians and pet owners. The development of specialized telemedicine platforms and mobile applications has revolutionized veterinary care. These platforms allow veterinarians to conduct virtual consultations, share medical records and images, and communicate with pet owners remotely. Examples of popular telemedicine platforms include Firstvet, Vetster, TeleVet, and AirVet.
Challenge: Lack of reimbursement
In many regions, insurance coverage for veterinary telemedicine services is limited or non-existent. This means that pet owners typically have to pay out-of-pocket for virtual consultations, which may deter some individuals from utilizing telemedicine options. The absence of insurance reimbursement can create financial barriers and limit the adoption of telemedicine services. Without reimbursement, veterinary clinics may find it challenging to set competitive pricing for telemedicine services. They must strike a balance between covering their costs and making services affordable for pet owners. The lack of reimbursement can impact the financial viability and sustainability of veterinary telemedicine practices.
