The growing awareness regarding the benefits of using veterinary software across the MEA region is majorly driving the MEA veterinary software market growth. Increasing the work burden for the veterinary healthcare provider to manage everything happening in the veterinary hospital or clinic is majorly boosting the adoption of veterinary software. In addition, the growing number of animals suffering from chronic and infectious diseases among animals and livestock is boosting the market’s growth rate in the MEA. The data collected through this software are helpful to the pharmaceutical companies manufacturing animal-related drugs and are also valuable in knowing the cause of diseases and developing vaccines to prevent disease among pet animals and livestock animals.

The growing number of veterinary hospital visits by pet owners for their pets is accelerating the growth of the MEA veterinary software market. Due to the increasing adoption of animals as a companion, people spend billions of dollars caring for their pets. The veterinary sector provides many services to the animals, such as treating the disease, physical examination, surgery, radiology, pharmacy, medication, and vaccination. To maintain all these records of animals, veterinary practitioners require software to collect the personalized details in this software used to improve the animal's health. Additionally, increasing pet insurance taken by pet owners also helps increase the regular health care visit to pets that need the right treatment track.

The rising demand for practice management systems from veterinary practitioners and increasing advancements in software development boost the market growth in the MEA region. The use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and machine learning to get the desired animals' data for better treatment quickly is very common in the region. Therefore, manufacturers in this region are focusing on developing various kinds of software regarding the veterinary sector at an affordable cost which helps the development of the market.

On the other hand, the lack of awareness about veterinary software among veterinary doctors and the high cost of the software are the major factors that restrain the market growth forward. In addition, lack of government approval, lack of skilled professionals to operate the software, and reluctance among many veterinary providers are the other factors hampering the market growth.
