Overview
Equine & Large Animal Veterinary covers equine veterinary practices providing ambulatory, surgical, and preventive care to horses and large animals. It is a specialized, often ambulatory (mobile) practice serving the equine, racing, and large-animal-owner markets.
Demand is supported by the equine industry (sport, racing, and recreation) and large-animal ownership, with high-value surgical and diagnostic care at referral hospitals. It is a fragmented, specialized niche with limited but emerging consolidation, and a notable veterinarian-shortage challenge.
Market snapshot
