Segment Analysis

The global Pet Grooming Market has been segmented based on the Product Type, Pet Type, Price Range, and Sales Channel.

Based on the Product Type, the market is segmented into Conditioners & Shampoos, Combs & Brushes, and Shear & Trimming Tools. The Conditioners & Shampoos segment was attributed to holding the largest market share in 2022.  The growth in the market is driven by an increasing awareness of the importance of timely grooming and cleaning for companion animals in mitigating allergies and infections. Companion pets, such as cats and dogs, often develop soiled coats while outdoors, resulting in potential skin allergies and infections. Manufacturers address this demand by providing medicated formulations and breed-specific products aimed at enhancing fur coat quality and delivering effective cleaning solutions.

Based on the Pet Type, the Pet Grooming Market has been segmented into Dogs, Cats, Birds, Fish & Reptiles, Small Pets, and Horses & Other Livestock. The Cats segment was expected to hold the largest market share in 2022. Pet grooming serves as a proactive healthcare measure by facilitating early detection of skin or body changes in pets, promoting a hygienic home environment, and reducing pet-related allergies. Regular grooming plays a preventive role in addressing issues such as nail overgrowth and minimizing the likelihood of pet infestations with fleas and mites. According to the European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF), Europe had over 113 million cats and 92 million dogs in 2021, constituting approximately 66% of the total pet population in the region. Notably, pet parents expended more than EUR 23.5 billion on pet-related services and products during the same year.

Based on the Price Range, the Pet Grooming Market has been segmented into Economy/ Mid-Range and Premium. The Economy/ Mid-Range segment was expected to hold the largest market share in 2022. The mid-range segment strategically places a strong emphasis on pet health and wellness, offering a comprehensive suite of grooming services. In addition to fundamental tasks like bathing and nail trimming, the services provided encompass advanced offerings such as dental care, skin treatments, and specialized grooming tailored to specific breeds. This approach aligns with the market's demand for holistic pet care solutions within an accessible and competitive pricing range.

Based on the Sales Channel, the Pet Grooming Market has been segmented into E Modern Trade, Convenience Stores, Care Service Centers, Online Retail, Support Care Centers, and Pet Specialty Stores. The Online Retail segment was expected to hold the largest market share in 2022. In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a notable consumer inclination towards online retail, driven by a desire to minimize the risk of infection. Brands are strategically seizing upon this trend by expanding their offerings of online pet grooming accessories and services. To enhance consumer engagement, these brands provide comprehensive pet grooming tutorials, facilitating efficient at-home use of tools and products. Furthermore, the continued provision of convenient delivery options and online-exclusive discounts is anticipated to sustain and further augment sales throughout the assessment period

Regional Analysis

The global Pet Grooming Market, based on region, has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World. North America consists of the US and Canada. The Europe Pet Grooming Market comprises of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, and the rest of Europe. The Pet Grooming Market in Asia-Pacific has been segmented into China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and the rest of Asia-Pacific. The Rest of the World Pet Grooming Market comprises of Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

The largest market share for the Pet Grooming Market was maintained by the North American regional sector. A significant number of households in the region are home to pets, encompassing dogs and cats. This elevated rate of pet ownership establishes a substantial customer base for both pet grooming services and products. As per the 2021-2022 National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), approximately 70 percent of U.S. households, equivalent to about 90.5 million families, own a pet. This represents a notable increase from 56 percent in 1988, the inaugural year of the survey, and 67 percent in 2019. The collective expenditures within the U.S. pet industry reached $123.6 billion, marking a 19 percent surge from $103.6 billion in 2020. Additionally, pet owners in North America exhibit a pronounced inclination toward prioritizing the health and well-being of their pets, incorporating regular grooming into their overall care routines. The growing awareness of grooming's significance in preserving a pet's health and comfort is propelling the demand for grooming services. Moreover, North American pet owners benefit from a relatively high disposable income, enabling them to invest in premium pet grooming services and products. This willingness to allocate financial resources toward their pets translates into a flourishing market for high-quality grooming services and specialized pet care products.

Moreover, the Europe market has been persistently growing over the forecast period. The European region is witnessing a consistent increase in the demand for pet grooming products, primarily driven by a heightened awareness of pet hygiene. The growth of both cat and dog populations in Europe, particularly during lockdown periods, stands out as a significant contributing factor to the market's expansion in the region. Opportunities for market growth are further propelled by the trends of humanization and premiumization of pets. As indicated by the European Pet Food Industry, as of 2021, a minimum of 90 million households across Europe had at least one pet, with cats emerging as the most favored companions in European households. The cat population in Europe, amounting to 113 million, has remained stable and contributes to the overall demand for pet grooming products in the region.

The rapid expansion of the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region can be attributed to the escalating disposable income levels in developing economies, the proliferation of pet groomers, the emergence of grooming start-ups, and the trend of humanizing pets. An illustrative example is Petsfolio, an Indian start-up established in 2017, offering a comprehensive range of pet-centric services, including grooming, walking, training, boarding, and dog food delivery. This entrepreneurial landscape reflects the dynamic opportunities within the APAC market driven by increased consumer spending on pet-related services and the evolving cultural shift towards viewing pets as valued companions

Furthermore, the rest of the world's Pet Grooming Market is divided into the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. The Brazilian pet market is flourishing due to a significant rate of pet ownership and the expanding middle-class population with disposable income. According to Global PETS, Brazil's pet market stands out as one of the most vibrant and resilient globally, ranking as the 6th largest in terms of revenue. Notably, it experienced a substantial surge of 42.5% during the pandemic, escalating from R$35.3 billion ($6.8B) in 2019 to R$51.7 billion ($9.96B) in 2021. With a pet population exceeding 149.6 million, recent estimates from IPB indicate 58.1 million dogs, 41 million ornamental birds, and 27.1 million cats. The Brazilian market boasts a diverse array of pet care products and services, accessible through both physical retail stores and online platforms. Urbanization in the country, leading to smaller living spaces, has further influenced the market, creating a demand for pet care solutions tailored to these environments. The robust growth and resilience of the Brazilian pet market underscore its prominence and attractiveness within the global landscape.
