Veterinary reusable gown market seen reaching $1.53B by 2030

The veterinary reusable gown systems market is projected to grow from $1.05 billion in 2025 to $1.13 billion in 2026, with demand rising on more veterinary procedures, more pet ownership and tighter infection-control needs. The Business Research Company says North America led the market in 2025, while Asia-Pacific is expected to grow fastest through 2030.

Why it matters: - Veterinary clinics and hospitals need protective apparel that can handle repeated use without sacrificing infection control. - Reusable gown systems can lower clothing costs and cut waste compared with disposable options. - The market’s growth reflects broader spending on animal health, clinic expansion and sustainability in healthcare textiles.

The details: - Veterinary reusable gown systems are protective garments designed for repeated use in animal healthcare settings. - The gowns use durable, washable and fluid-resistant textiles. - The gowns are built to support clinical, surgical and animal-handling procedures. - The report links recent growth to more zoonotic infection concerns, more veterinary surgeries, more hospital infrastructure, higher disposable gown costs and greater awareness of hospital-acquired infection risks. - Forecast growth is tied to circular-economy textile models, washable antimicrobial fabrics, stricter veterinary hygiene rules, centralized sterilization services and demand for cost-effective clinical apparel. - Emerging trends include expanded gown sterilization and laundering systems, antimicrobial and fluid-resistant coatings, centralized hospital laundry systems and stronger infection-prevention standards. - The report says the market is being supported by more veterinary clinics and hospitals. - The report cites the United States as having 34,296 veterinary practices in 2023, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association in October 2025. - The American Veterinary Medical Association also reported average gross revenue of about $1.5 million per practice in 2024. - Companion animal ownership is adding demand by increasing veterinary visits and procedures. - The American Pet Products Association said in March 2025 that 94 million U.S. households owned at least one pet, up from 82 million in 2023. - Dogs were present in 51% of U.S. households, or 68 million households, and cats were present in 37%, or 49 million households. - Veterinary healthcare spending is also rising. - The American Animal Hospital Association projected U.S. veterinary care expenses, including pharmaceuticals dispensed through veterinary clinics, would reach about $41.4 billion in 2025. - The report covers Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America and the Middle East and Africa. - The 2026 report adds market attractiveness scoring, TAM analysis, company scoring matrix graphics and tables, Excel-based forecasting dashboards, market hotspots infographics, key technologies and future trend analysis, plus updated graphics and tables.

Between the lines: - Reusable gowns are gaining traction because veterinary care is facing the same cost, infection-control and sustainability pressures seen in other parts of healthcare. - The strongest demand signal appears to be clinic growth plus higher pet ownership, which together push up procedure volume and the need for protective apparel. - The regional split suggests mature demand in North America and more room for infrastructure-driven growth in Asia-Pacific.

What's next: - The market’s next phase will likely center on better antimicrobial fabrics, more centralized laundering and sterilization systems, and tighter infection-prevention requirements. - Vendors and buyers may focus more on total cost of ownership as reusable systems compete with disposable protective clothing. - The Business Research Company is promoting its updated forecasting tools and additional market visuals alongside the report.
