Benelux Veterinary Computed Tomography (CT) Scanners Market Outlook (2022-2033)

Rising pet healthcare expenditure drives CT scanner growth

A significant increase in pet care expenditures within Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg is propelling the growth of the Benelux veterinary computed tomography (CT) scanner market. Pet ownership is increasing and there is a growing awareness on the part of veterinary clinics concerning advanced diagnostic methods which is contributing to the increasing number of CT scanner purchases by veterinary clinics in order to determine the most accurate diagnosis for companion animals. The high amount of money currently spent on companion animals in large urban areas is also creating an increased demand for technologically sophisticated imaging equipment that allows for the early diagnosis of complex medical conditions such as neurological disorders and orthopedic injuries.

CTs are also being adopted by veterinary clinics in both Belgium and the Netherlands in order to enhance surgical planning and outcome. Through the use of a CT scanner, veterinarians are given the opportunity to view soft tissue structures and bone structures in a manner that will allow them to intervene more accurately. Even veterinary practices with minimal resources are beginning to recognize the benefits associated with implementing CT technology as owners of companion animals are seeking diagnostic technologies that are per the same standards as human diagnostic technology. This change represents a larger trend toward greater quality in veterinary medicine.

The ongoing improvements in CT scanner technology, including improved speed of scan times and decreased exposure to radiation, have increased the practicality of utilizing these devices as a standard of care in veterinary medicine. The combination of increased expenses on pet health care, growing clinical standards, and broader access to technology continues to drive the growth of veterinary computed tomography scanners within the Benelux region.

Expansion of veterinary specialty clinics opens new markets

Veterinary specialty clinics are greatly expanding throughout the Benelux region and present an excellent opportunity for the CT scanner industry. For instance, cities like Amsterdam, Brussels, and Luxembourg City are experiencing an influx of multi-service veterinary hospitals, which need advanced imaging technologies for their large number of complex cases. The same type of use for CT scanners will help provide comprehensive diagnostic expertise to pet owners who need to make accurate decisions regarding their pet's health. CT scanners will also be used for making decisions regarding tumors, trauma and surgery as they will serve as a reference tool for both small and larger animals.

In addition to the urban areas mentioned above, there is also a trend occurring in the suburbs as well with the growth of specialty veterinary offices. These types of practices will also create referral opportunities for general practice veterinarians; thus increasing the number of opportunities for CT scanners. Veterinarians will also use these specialty practices to differentiate their practice by providing timely and accurate diagnosis and will support the demand for high-quality imaging systems needed to support advanced veterinary care.

As the trend of pet insurance increases amongst the Benelux nations; this will allow clinics more financial flexibility to invest in advanced diagnostic imaging systems. Pet owners are more inclined to seek out a complete diagnostic evaluation when they have pet insurance and therefore pay only a small portion of the cost of the procedure after the fact. With the confluence of the specialty clinic market development, the pet insurance adoption increase and the increase in the expectation for high-level veterinary care, the CT scanner market will be changing rapidly.

The geographical scope of the Benelux Veterinary Computed Tomography (CT) Scanners Market report is divided into Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Netherlands held the largest share in 2025.

In comparison to the veterinary CT scanner market, each country in Benelux has different dynamics; however, adoption levels and potential are greatest in the Netherlands. This is largely due to a well-developed veterinary healthcare infrastructure, high per capita pet ownership levels, strong culture around preventive/specialized animal care, and access to advanced electronics which creates a strong demand for advanced imaging technology like CT scanners in the Netherlands. Furthermore, there is growing investment from veterinary hospitals and specialty clinics for new multi-slice/high resolution CT systems that will be used for high-quality diagnostics in more complicated cases of small and large animals, demonstrating that the Netherlands is leading the way in integrating advanced technology into routine veterinary practice. Belgium has been steadily growing, but it has a less consolidated market than the Netherlands.

CT imaging adoption rates in Belgium are moderate, generally occurring in university hospitals and referral clinics; however, the majority of clinics that operate at large volumes handling exotic and companion animal patients requiring detailed diagnostics tend have the majority of their demand for CT imaging. The level of investment in Belgium is determined by the clinical need and cost-effectiveness of the CT scanner investments, therefore there are selective, but strategically placed, deployments of CT scanners in Belgium. Luxembourg is more of a niche market for CT scanners due to its small size and a relatively low number of veterinarians or veterinary facilities with a CT scanner.
