While these developments are creating exciting new possibilities, veterinary service providers that are slow to adapt may fall behind and miss a key window of opportunity. [*The Veterinary Services Global Market Report 2017*](https://www.marketresearch.com/Business-Research-Company-v4006/Veterinary-Services-Global-10508715/?progid=89399) from the Business Research Company highlights four major trends in the veterinary market that should be followed in order to stay competitive. ### 1. Adopt Big Data in Veterinary Care Many veterinary care service providers are adopting big data technologies to offer treatment for pets, livestock and animals. This technology is used to diagnose and assess potential diseases. Big data enables veterinarians to identify the diseases affecting cattle and pets in various locations and regions. For instance, Bayer Healthcare Animal introduced applications to assess potential signs of diseases in animals, thus enabling faster diagnosis and treatment of disease conditions at a distance. ### 2. Invest in Wearable Technologies to Monitor Pet Health Veterinary care service providers and pet owners are increasingly using animal wearables to monitor pet health. Wearables capture body temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, pH levels and other health parameters and transmit the information to farmers, owners and veterinarians. By tracking the vital health parameters of animals through wearables, various stakeholders can diagnose and treat diseases more quickly and accurately. For instance, Vital Herd’s e-pill technology can continuously transmit critical data such as body temperature and heart rate to the farmer. Since wearable technologies enable farmers and veterinarians to track critical health parameters in pets and animals, veterinarians should consider investing in these technologies. ### 3. Start Offering Premium Services to Increase Revenues Nowadays a lot of [pets are considered to be family members](https://blog.marketresearch.com/projected-2017-trends-in-the-pet-industry) by their owners. Growing affinity with pets and increasing humanization are driving the veterinary care services market. As a result, veterinary care service providers should consider offering premium services to pet owners to increase overall revenues and margins. Premium veterinary services include high-tech medical therapies and prescription medications. Marqueen Pet Emergency and Speciality and Premier Veterinary Group are major premium veterinary care service providers in the USA. ### 4. Offer Stem Cells Therapy to Treat Animals  Stem cell therapy is widely used by veterinary service providers to treat orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendon and ligament injuries. Stem cell therapy isolates adult stem cells from animals’ fat tissue and re-introduces these cells to reduce pain and inflammation and help restore motion and stimulate regeneration of tendon, ligament and joint tissues. Companies offering stem cell therapy in the USA include VetStem and MediVet. Veterinary service providers ought to consider offering stem cell therapy to treat chronic conditions of osteoarthritis, tendon and ligament injuries in pets. ### Statistics on the Veterinary Services Global Market In addition to in-depth trends analysis, *The Veterinary Services Global Market Report 2017* also provides data and forecasts that offer a comprehensive view of the market worldwide.
