Veterinary diagnostics VetLab consumables revenue measures recurring sales of test consumables used on IDEXX VetLab diagnostic instruments.

IDEXX reported $430.3M of VetLab consumables revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 14.7% year over year.

Consumables monetize the installed instrument base

A placed instrument can generate recurring revenue as veterinary practices run more patient samples and more tests per sample.

That links consumables revenue directly to the size and utilization of the premium instrument installed base.

Revenue growth can outpace clinic visits

IDEXX said volume gains reflected testing by existing customers, an expanded test menu, and installed-base growth.

That is why weak same-store clinical visit growth does not necessarily imply weak consumables growth.
