Pet Grooming Market Trends

• Rise in the number of pet adoption worldwide and soaring inclination towards natural grooming products is driving the market growth

Global Market CAGR for Pet Grooming is being driven by the rise in the number of pet adoption worldwide and soaring inclination towards natural grooming products. The market has experienced increased revenue due to the rising adoption of pet ownership and substantial expenditure on pet care products. Manufacturers in the pet apparel and accessories sector consistently engage in new product development to expand their existing portfolios. According to the American Pet Products Association, pet ownership in U.S. households stands at 67%, a slight decrease from the estimated 70% in 2021-2022. Millennials constitute the largest segment of pet owners at 32%, followed closely by Baby Boomers at 27%, and Generation X at 24%. Moreover, the growth in middle-income households and the prevalent trend of pet humanization have elevated pet owners' willingness to invest in high-quality pet products. The increasing interest in humanizing pets, coupled with heightened demand for premium pet care items, is a key driver of market growth. The expansion of pet accessories' availability on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart, Walmart, and others has significantly broadened the products' reach. Additionally, the surge in awareness about grooming products for pets, amplified advertising efforts by manufacturers, and the prevailing trend of digitalization have collectively heightened the demand for the pet grooming and accessories industry.

According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), over 67% of households in the United States own at least one pet. Natural grooming products are acknowledged as a safe or safer alternative. The safety of pets is a paramount concern for the majority of pet owners, prompting them to seek products that are free from harmful chemicals. Additionally, there is a growing preference for natural-based products that do not contain ingredients known to cause allergic reactions or harm pets in any way. Pet owners are increasingly drawn to grooming products with natural formulations that contribute to the improvement of a pet's condition. One common issue faced by dog owners is skin irritation and scratching. Grooming products, particularly shampoos formulated with inexpensive synthetic chemicals, have the potential to excessively dry out a dog's skin, exacerbating itching problems. Consequently, the demand for natural-based grooming products is on the rise as pet parents prioritize the well-being and safety of their beloved animals.

As a result, it is anticipated that throughout the projection period, demand for the Pet Grooming Market will increase due to the Rise in the Number of Pet Adoption Worldwide and Soaring Inclination Towards Natural Grooming Products. Thus, driving the Pet Grooming Market revenue.
