According to QYResearch, China’s animal DR/CT/MRI equipment market exceeded **8 billion RMB ($1.12 billion) in 2025, accounting for 27% of the total veterinary equipment market, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.6%. This transformation is driven by three converging forces: pet aging, technological democratization, and diagnostic datafication.
