Pet Care Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, 2030 (2024)

Report Overview

The global pet care market size was valued at USD 150.67 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% from 2022 to 2030. The rising trend of pet humanization and increased consumer spending in the household and pet care categories are the major growth drivers. People are also adopting little pets (cats, dogs, etc.) Since they are easier to humanize and indulge than larger pets. As a result, people are willing to spend more to ensure their pets get the best care. Hence, pet care products such as feeders, bowls, and waterers have become more popular.

The pet sector has been exploding in recent years. According to the American Pet Products Association, about 85 million homes own a pet, with pet ownership increasing from 56 % to 68 % in the last 30 years. Technology and the introduction of internet purchases have contributed to some of the changes in pet ownership.

Many people were forced to stay at home for an extended amount of time as a result of COVID-19's impacts, whether owing to shelter-in-place orders or work-from-home advice. Soon after this increased time spent at home, and pet shelters recorded an increase in adoptions and fostering.

However, the majority of the expansion is due to cultural shifts. As millennial and Generation Z consumers have grown into adulthood, they have embraced their pet-owning and pet-loving lives significantly more than their predecessors. In 2020, households headed by the younger generation account for roughly 60% of pet ownership, whilst households headed by baby boomers account for about 30% of pet ownership.

Furthermore, pet owners are demonstrating a strong desire to learn more about pet health issues. They are promoting companion animal preventive care. As a result, responsible pet ownership has been increasingly popular in recent years. This is also a crucial trend that is driving pet care product sales and, as a result, the pet care industry.

Moreover, people are making lifestyle upgrades to mark their share in reducing the ecological footprint in daily lives which includes pet products too. A significant share of pet accessories is made with more sustainable and recyclable materials instead of plastics. For instance, in February 2022, Neo Bites became the first Carbon-negative dog food company in the U.S.

Pet Type Insights

The dog segment accounted for over 39% of the revenue share in 2021. The most popular pets are dogs, followed by cats. Dogs are known to relieve anxiety, stress, and depression, as well as loneliness, promote cardiovascular health, and encourage exercise, all of which contribute to their popularity. Pet furniture is often preferred by people who live in flats and apartments and do not have a lawn or porch where their pets can live. This category is projected to boost the pet care market due to these factors.

Moreover, the cat pet type segment is projected to register a CAGR of 5.3% from 2022 to 2030. The increasing number of cat owners across the globe is expected to positively impact market growth. Furthermore, the rising number of single-person households coupled with the increasing willingness to own at least one pet has been majorly contributing to the market growth in developed countries over the past few years.

Type Insights

The product type segment accounted for over 54% of the revenue share in 2021. With a growing focus on climate change, more sustainably created and eco-friendly pet products are launched in the market which is likely to drive the growth of the pet care market during the forecast period. Moreover, growing consumer awareness about pet-related products is favoring the growth of the industry.

The pet food type segment is projected to register a CAGR of 5.3% from 2022 to 2030.Pet food consists of meat, meat byproducts, grains, cereals, vitamins, and minerals. Growing concerns among pet owners about the health and well-being of their companion animals are primarily driving the demand for quality pet food. Additionally, home delivery services provided by online stores and clean labeling are some of the factors expected to boost the growth of the segment.

Regional Insights

North America accounted for the largest revenue share of around 43% in 2021. The rising number of pet owners in the region, combined with high disposable incomes, is creating a demand for pet care products and services. According to the 2021-2022 National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), around 70% of U.S. households owned a pet in 2020; this was up from 67% in 2019.

Asia Pacific is expected to expand at the fastest CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. The Asia Pacific pet care industry is likely to witness rapid growth, owing to rapid economic expansion and rising disposable income, which are expected to boost consumer spending on pet care products. Furthermore, rising pet ownerships and rising spending on pet care products are aspects that contribute to the regional market growth.
