Revenue model

1. Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Testing: LABOKLIN generates revenue by providing diagnostic laboratory services to veterinary practices and clinics. Veterinary practices submit biological samples (blood, tissue, urine, stool, etc.) along with test requests. Results are communicated to the sending practice. Contracts are concluded exclusively with business customers (veterinary practices). Direct billing to pet owners incurs a 40% administrative surcharge. Net prices are listed on test order forms plus applicable VAT.

Broad incumbents

• Elanco Animal Health: Global animal health company (including the former Bayer Animal Health portfolio) with diagnostics and therapeutics. Overlaps with LABOKLIN in companion animal and livestock diagnostics, though Elanco's diagnostics footprint is more limited than its therapeutics business.
• Virbac: Global animal health company headquartered in France offering pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and diagnostic services across companion and food animals. Competes with LABOKLIN in selected European diagnostic segments, especially food animal/livestock testing.
• Zoetis: Largest pure-play animal health company globally, offering diagnostics alongside pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and genetics. Overlaps with LABOKLIN in veterinary diagnostics but competes from a much broader portfolio and at far greater scale.
• Vetoquinol: French independent animal health company with a portfolio spanning pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and nutritional products. Comparable to LABOKLIN's diagnostics-adjacent offerings, particularly in livestock and herd health across Europe.

Direct peers

• Antech Diagnostics (Mars Petcare): One of the largest veterinary reference laboratory networks in North America, part of Mars Petcare. Provides the same species-spanning diagnostic menu as LABOKLIN (chemistry, microbiology, pathology, endocrinology) and represents the global model LABOKLIN most directly competes with in Europe.
• IDEXX Laboratories: Global leader in veterinary diagnostics and reference laboratory services for companion animals, livestock, and poultry. Direct competitor to LABOKLIN across European veterinary reference lab work, with additional in-clinic analyzer footprint that LABOKLIN lacks.
• Heska Corporation (Mars Petcare): Specialty veterinary diagnostics company focused on in-clinic analyzers and reference lab testing for companion animals, acquired by Mars Petcare. Comparable to LABOKLIN's reference lab offering, with additional point-of-care diagnostic products.

Regional players

• SYNLAB Group: Europe's largest medical diagnostic services provider, primarily serving human health but with veterinary and food testing adjacencies. Provides a reference point for European multi-country diagnostic laboratory scale and may compete for veterinary accounts in select countries.
• Cerba HealthCare: European clinical diagnostics network headquartered in France with operations across multiple countries. While primarily human-focused, its specialty veterinary and animal health testing lines are comparable to LABOKLIN's multi-disciplinary reference lab model.

Emerging players

• Thermo Fisher Scientific (Phadia / ImmunoCAP): Global life sciences tools company whose Phadia division specializes in allergy diagnostics. Overlaps directly with LABOKLIN's allergy testing and allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT) business, particularly for companion animals.
