This growth is fueled by an Increasing focus on pet health and wellness, premiumization of pet products, and the humanization of pets.
Pet ownership demographics in North America are diverse, with millennials and Generation Z emerging as key consumer segments. These younger pet owners spend more on premium products and services, focusing on their pets' health, wellness, and overall lifestyle.

Europe represents a significant global pet care industry market, characterized by a growing population of pet owners and increasing expenditures on pet-related products and services. Countries like Germany, the UK, France, and Italy are among the largest markets within Europe, each contributing to the region's overall growth.
Increasing Mobile Pet Grooming Services & Enrolment for Grooming And Expos
The global pet care market is witnessing a significant uptick in mobile pet grooming services and participation in grooming expos. Mobile grooming services offer unparalleled convenience by bringing professional grooming directly to the pet owner's home, alleviating the stress and logistical challenges of transporting pets to grooming salons. These services are particularly beneficial for pets who experience anxiety or stress in unfamiliar environments, as the home setting provides a more comfortable and familiar atmosphere.
Mobile grooming vans have state-of-the-art grooming tools and amenities, allowing groomers to deliver high-quality services comparable to those in traditional salons. This trend is also reflected in the growing enrolment in grooming expos and training programs, which provide platforms for professional groomers to enhance their skills, network with peers, and stay updated on the latest industry innovations.
For instance, companies like PetSmart and Wag'n Tails are expanding their mobile grooming fleets, responding to the rising consumer demand for at-home pet care solutions. Events like Groom Expo West and Intergroom attract thousands of professionals and enthusiasts, highlighting the burgeoning interest in pet grooming education and innovation.
Increasing Technological Integration
Technological advancements are revolutionizing the pet care industry, integrating many innovations that enhance pet safety, health monitoring, and overall care. Smart collars, health monitoring apps, pet cameras, and automated feeders are becoming essential for modern pet owners. These technologies allow owners to track their pets' location, monitor their health and activity levels, and even interact with them remotely, ensuring that pets receive consistent care and attention even when their owners are away. For example, the Fi Smart Dog Collar provides real-time GPS tracking and activity monitoring, alerting owners if their pet leaves a designated safe area, thus preventing potential accidents or loss.
Additionally, apps like Petcube enable owners to engage with their pets through interactive cameras and treat dispensers, allowing them to play with and monitor their pets from anywhere. This technological integration enhances the quality of pet care and provides peace of mind to pet owners, knowing they can always stay connected to their pets. Furthermore, innovations such as automated feeders and water dispensers ensure that pets have access to food and water on a regular schedule, promoting better health and well-being.
Rise in Pet Ownership
The rise in pet ownership is a significant driver of growth in the global pet care market. This increase can be attributed to various factors, including changing social dynamics, increased urbanization, and the growing recognition of the benefits of pet companionship. More households welcome pets as integral family members, driven by the desire for companionship, emotional support, and the health benefits of pet ownership. Pets are known to reduce stress, increase physical activity, and provide emotional comfort, making them popular among individuals and families seeking to enhance their quality of life.
The COVID-19 pandemic also boosted pet ownership as people sought companionship and emotional support during extended periods of isolation and remote work. This rise in pet ownership has increased demand for a wide range of products and services, including food, grooming, veterinary care, and accessories. Companies like Mars Petcare and Nestle Purina PetCare have seen significant market growth, reflecting the expanding customer base driven by higher pet ownership rates globally.
Skilled Labor Shortage
The pet care market faces a notable skilled labor shortage, which impacts the quality and availability of services such as grooming, veterinary care, and training. The demand for experienced and qualified professionals in these areas often exceeds supply, leading to longer service wait times and increased pressure on existing staff. This shortage is exacerbated by the specialized skills required in the industry, including knowledge of animal behavior, health, and proper handling techniques.
For instance, the grooming sector faces challenges in recruiting trained groomers who can handle various breeds and styles. Companies like Banfield Pet Hospital and VCA Animal Hospitals have invested in training programs and partnerships with veterinary schools to address this shortage, but the gap remains significant. The skilled labor shortage affects service delivery employee retention and job satisfaction, as overworked staff may experience burnout and high turnover rates.
