Summary
The European veterinary services market has been experiencing rapid growth, reaching €17 billion by 2020. In France alone, the veterinary services market saw a 61% increase, with a revenue of almost €5 billion in 2022. Concurrently, the French software publishing market achieved a valuation of €14.3 billion in 2022, indicating a substantial rise.
This growth emphasizes the rising demand for veterinary services as well as the proliferation of software and applications tailored for veterinary practices, such as the comprehensive management software Calypso introduced in March 2023. Moreover, cloud computing in French companies showed robust expansion with a 15.5% increase between 2020 and 2021, reaching €16 billion and projected to hit €27 billion by 2025. The software offerings range from integrated management solutions and specialized apps with varying prices, reflecting a trend towards creating ecosystems of synchronized digital services within the veterinary sector.
Market Trends in Veterinary Services and Software in France
The veterinary sector in France has seen a significant upsurge in both demand and supply of services. With a growth trajectory that saw the market increase by approximately 61% between the years 2013 and 2022, the sector reached almost 5 billion euros in 2022. Contributing to this growth is the steady increase in the number of veterinarians, with the Ordre National des Vétérinaires registering between 20,000 and 21,000 professionals, including around 1,100 new registrants in the latest year.
When delving into the veterinarian profile in France, we find it predominantly female, with women constituting over 50% of the registered veterinarians in 2022. The specialization within the profession leans heavily towards companion animals, with more than half of the veterinarians focusing on this segment either exclusively or as part of a mixed practice.
Companion animals, primarily pets, remain the focal point of veterinary services, with their treatment dominating the market. The French population has shown a consistent affinity for pets, with every second household owning one. Interestingly, cat populations have overtaken dogs over the years, with nearly twice as many cats as dogs documented recently. Not only does this reflect a change in pet preferences, but it also impacts the services veterinarians offer. France houses between 70 and 75 million pets, a figure that illustrates the sheer potential and demand for veterinary services. As the number of veterinary establishments experiences a slight rise, with numbers going from around 7,800 to over 8,200 within a six-year period, there is an evident response to the increasing demand.
This also corresponds with a parallel growth in the software publishing market. The expansion and resilience of the SaaS model have synergistically contributed to this impressive growth, benefitting markets contiguous to the veterinary sector, such as veterinary software and applications.
While sales within the sector have risen steadily, with an emphasis on sales related to companion animals showing a more dynamic growth compared to livestock. Technology integration into the veterinary practice is also noteworthy. The advances in cloud computing and the trend towards digitalization, with an increase of approximately 15% between 2020 and 2021 in the French cloud computing market, underscore the digitization of veterinary services. These trends suggest a market that is growing increasingly adaptable and responsive to both technological innovation and evolving consumer preferences.

Summary and extracts
1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of study
Veterinarians are responsible for advising professionals and private individuals on the health of their animals. They usually work in veterinary clinics or veterinary centers. They perform a wide range of tasks, from diagnostics to major operations on pets, livestock and equines. However, pets account for the majority of animals treated.
The European market for the veterinary sector is growing rapidly, reaching 17 billion by 2020. [Eurostat]
This growth is also being felt in France, with the veterinary services market increasing by 61% between 2013 and 2022, to represent almost 5 billion euros in 2022.[Insee]. Fortunately, this high demand is offset by an ever-increasing number of establishments and professionals. In 2022, theOrdre National des Vétérinaires will register 20,844 veterinarians.
In parallel, the French software publishing market, amounted to 14.3 billion euros in 2022, having also almost doubled since 2012. This growth has been driven by the growth of SaaS (Software as a Service), the sector's resilience to the health crisis and an overall trend towards increased IT spending.[Insee]
Thus, in a global context of expanding software and applications, the intensification of demand for veterinary care has driven the growth of software and applications for veterinarians, enabling improved and centralized management of veterinary care.this has led to the growth of software and applications for veterinarians, enabling improved , centralized management of practitioners' activities (as part of comprehensive management software), or providing specialized support for certain aspects of the profession (as part of more specific applications).
Software and applications for veterinarians are becoming increasingly essential to support the digitization of customer relations and loyalty. The arrival of the Calypso platform in March 2023 is a further confirmation of this digitalization trend.
