Market Overview

The global veterinary surgical robotics market was valued at USD 220 million in 2023 and is projected to grow at a remarkable CAGR of 28.4% through 2031, reaching USD 1.5 billion. This significant growth is driven by:

• Precision surgery demand shows a 90% reduction in complication rates compared to traditional methods.
• Shortage of veterinary specialists (robot-assisted surgery requires 40% fewer staff)
• Pet insurance coverage expansion: 55% now cover robotic procedures.

Technology Segments:

• Fully Robotic Systems (45% share) - USD 1M+ da Vinci-style platforms
• Handheld Robotic Assist (XX%) - 150 K- 150 K- 500 K systems
• AI Guidance Platforms (XX%) - Augmented Reality Navigation

Key Applications:
 - Soft Tissue (55%) - Spays, tumor resections
 - Orthopedics (30%) - TPLO, joint replacements
 - Neurology (10%) - Spinal procedures
 - Other (5%)
