The global veterinary chemistry analyzers market is dominated by IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (U.S.), Abaxis, Inc. (U.S.), and Heska Corporation (U.S.), which together accounted for ~65-70% of the market in 2016.
The leading position of IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. in this market is mainly attributed to its strong product portfolio, wide geographic presence, and strong distribution and services network across the globe. The company operates in more than 175 countries across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The company majorly focuses on product launches and product upgrades to provide the most advanced technology to its end users. The company also focuses on R&D activities to develop animal health solutions that meet the customers’ demands. In 2016, the company invested USD 101.1 million in R&D activities for the discovery and development of new veterinary chemistry analyzer products. For instance, in April 2016, the company launched SediVue DX, a urine sediment analyzer, as a preventive care diagnostic tool for companion animals. Similarly, the company upgraded various analyzers between 2013 and 2016. Moreover, the company focuses on direct interaction with its customers, which gives it a competitive advantage over others.
Abaxis, Inc. held the second-largest share of the global veterinary chemistry analyzers market in 2016. Abaxis, Inc. operates through two major segments, namely, medical market and veterinary market. In 2016, the veterinary market segment accounted for approximately 81% of the company’s total revenue, which influenced the operational and financial condition of the company.

Moreover, the company also pursues the strategy of distribution agreements and partnerships with well-known veterinary suppliers to enhance its presence in the veterinary chemistry analyzers market.
Industry players adopted the strategy of agreements, expansions, and product launches to achieve growth in the market.
