According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Pet Care Services Market is accounted for $10.31 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $17.32 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.92% during the forecast period. Pet care services encompass a wide range of pet services such as veterinary, grooming, daycare, boarding, training, pet walking, and pet sitting. Domestic pets are becoming increasingly important in households around the world, and as a result, the market is spending more on pet care activities such as pet food, pet toys, pet treatment, pet hygiene, and pet health.

According to National Pet Owner's Survey (2020-2021) conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), in the United States, almost 90.5 million households have a pet, and over the last 30 years, pet ownership has gone from 56.0% to 68.0% of all households. The increase in pet care spending has resulted in a significant increase in products and services, which is driving market growth.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increase in the Number of Pet Owners and Increase in Pet Spending

The surge in pet care spending has resulted in a significant increase in products and services aimed at elite pet owners. As they are considered good companions for the elderly, the growing ageing population in developed countries is driving the growth of the global pet day-care and lodging market. Customers prefer customization because it adds a personal touch to the pet, and this factor is expected to play a significant role in the growth of market. The introduction of advanced cost-effective and customised services, rising concerns about pet care and an increase in animal health-care expenditure are all driving up demand for pet care services around the world.

Restraint:

High Pet Care Costs

Because of the availability of effective medical treatment, pet life expectancy has increased significantly over the years. These pet care drugs and medical procedures are generally associated with high costs. Furthermore, the market dynamics are expected to be influenced by a lack of awareness about pet diseases and pet care products, as well as a weakened animal healthcare infrastructure.

Opportunity:

Introduction of Personalized Pet Grooming Services

More environmentally friendly pet items will be introduced to the market throughout the forecasted period as the emphasis on climate change grows. Pet owners are becoming more aware of their pets' carbon ""pawprint."" Furthermore, nearly half of millennials and Gen Z prefer companies that are environmentally friendly. The increasing popularity of pet fashion among pet owners has a positive impact on the industry. Some dog owners are very particular about how their dogs represent their lifestyles by being provided with comfortable and luxurious items. This forces competitors in the market to launch a flurry of novel and personalised pet grooming service products, which is expected to result in significant market growth during the forecast period.

Threat:

Occurrence of Animal borne diseases

The unexpected occurrence of animal-borne diseases, such as stomach discomfort, diarrhea, and other symptoms, to owners as a result of their dogs' filthy living habits is expected to dampen market growth. This is attributable to the fact that pets' unsanitary living habits can spread these illnesses to their owners. Pet adoption may suffer as a result of such diseases. Additionally, companies' profit margins are expected to be hampered by ambiguous legislation governing the labelling and promotion of pet care services.

Covid-19 Impact

The pet services industry declined as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, particularly in 2020. This negative impact is primarily the result of pet service closures and restricted access as a result of social distancing norms and lockdowns. According to PocketSuite, a mobile-first business management app for pet service providers, key players saw a significant drop in appointments and payment volume at the start of the epidemic. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), pet parents in the United States spent approximately USD 9.5 billion in 2020 on services such as boarding, grooming, insurance, training, pet sitting, and pet walking, a 3.9%. Because of the frequent lockdowns, people stayed mostly at home and took good care of their pets. This increased demand for pet services and products, resulting in substantial market growth.
