Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 49.0 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.38% from 2025-2033. North America currently dominates the market, holding a market share of over 41.4% in 2024. The increasing pet ownership, rapid technological advancements in pet care products, heightened awareness about pet health and wellness, the expansion of online retail platforms, and the rising disposable incomes among consumers, are some of the major factors driving the market growth in this region.

The global market for pet accessories is experiencing growth in demand due to increased pet ownership and humanization of pets where animals are treated as family members. Moreover, increased disposable income leads consumers to invest in premium and innovative products like smart pet gadgets and eco-friendly accessories. Indeed, pet fashion and customs are an area that appears to be gaining traction, particularly by the millennials and Gen Z. E-commerce websites enhance pet accessories accessibility as well as availability at affordable price options with a range, and this contributes significantly towards the market growth. Pet well-being awareness has driven the demand for products like orthopedic beds, activity trackers, and grooming tools. Seasonal and festive-themed accessories are also boosting the market, as consumers have an affinity to celebrate pets in novel and personalized ways.

The United States is also emerging as a prominent market, holding 83.4% market share. The prime factor driving market expansion is the increasing rate of pet ownership. As of 2023, 66% of American households, or 86.9 million homes, own a pet. With an increased rate of owning a pet, there is high spending on pet-related products and services. In 2023, Americans spent $147 billion on their pets, and according to projections, this is expected to reach $150.6 billion in 2024. Pet humanization, whereby pets are considered part of the family, has driven demand for premium and personalized accessories. Apart from this, the rise in e-commerce sites has exposed consumers to a wide variety of pet accessories, thereby propelling market growth.

Pet Accessories Market Trends:

Increasing Pet Ownership and Humanization of Pets

There is an increased number of households owning pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. Such an increase is because of several factors such as lifestyle changes, a population aged and seeking companionship, and an increasing awareness of the benefits that pets provide for mental and physical well-being. As people are opening up their homes to welcome pets, the demand for pet accessories, such as beds, toys, grooming products, and apparel, rises. For instance, according to an industrial report, around 66% of U.S. households own a pet. In 2022, Americans spent nearly USD 136.8 Billion on their pets, 11% up as compared to 2021. In line with this, dogs are the most popular pet in the U.S. Nearly 65.1 million U.S. households own a dog. These factors are adding to the pet accessories market demand. Furthermore, pets are increasingly regarded as part of the family. They are no longer viewed as mere animals. The humanization of pets has resulted in changes in consumer behavior and preferences. For instance, 97% of people treat their pets to be part of their family. These factors are further increasing the market demand. Moreover, pet owners are willing to invest more in their pets' comfort, health, and happiness, driving demand for high-quality, aesthetically pleasing, and functional accessories. For instance, the amount spent on pets in the United States rose from USD 90.5 Billion to USD 136.8 Billion between 2018 and 2022, a 51.16% rise. In line with this, Americans spent around USD 58.1 Billion on treats and food for their pets, USD 31.5 Billion on supplies, live animals, and over-the-counter drugs, USD 35.9 Billion on veterinary care, and USD 11.4 Billion on other services (all services other than veterinary care such as boarding, grooming, pet insurance, and training) in 2022.

Rapid Advancements in Technology and Product Innovation

Technology has transformed the pet accessories market by introducing smart and connected devices that are meant to make the lives of pets and their owners better. According to an industrial report on IOT, at the end of 2023, there were 16.6 Billion connected IoT devices, which grew by 15% from 2022. Some examples are smart pet feeders, which can dispense food on a schedule or controlled remotely via a smartphone app, automated litter boxes, which self-clean, and pet cameras that allow owners to monitor and interact with pets while away from home. Recently, for example, PETLIBRO, a smart pet supply brand in U.S., debuted the One RFID Pet Feeder in January 2024. This cutting-edge pet feeder integrates RFID pet recognition technology, meaning that before the One RFID Pet Feeder actually opens the food bowl lid to serve food, the identity of a pet attached with an RFID tag will have already been verified. Besides addressing common problems in multi-pet households, such as food theft, food aggression, weight control, and the need to separate prescription food, this ensures that each pet gets the right nutrition at the right time. These innovative products offer convenience, peace of mind, and new ways for pet owners to care for and bond with their pets, further stimulating the industry growth. In addition, pet accessories that feature interactive technology and enrichment capabilities have gained popularity with pet owners who want to keep their pets mentally stimulated and engaged. Interactive toys featuring sensors, lights, sounds, and motion detectors can offer hours of entertainment and exercise for pets, thus reducing boredom and behavioral problems like excessive chewing or scratching. These factors are also expected to drive the revenue of the pet accessories market.

Growing E-Commerce Platforms and Product Innovation

According to an industrial report, in 2023, global retail e-commerce sales reached an estimated USD 5.8 trillion. The convenience and accessibility offered by the online retail and e-commerce platforms to pet owners with respect to browsing and purchasing their pet accessories from the comforts of their homes is unparalleled. The convenience factor has actually added to the overall growth of the pet accessories market as consumers can easily find the product and make a purchase without visiting the physical stores for it. In fact, in June 2022, PetKonnect-a leader in online aggregation of pet products and services in India, launched an online prescription medication delivery service and an e-commerce platform for pet-related merchandise to provide the best offerings and medications to customers to keep their furry friends from their homes anywhere in India. Furthermore, e-commerce platforms offer easy access to a wide variety of pet accessories from brands that are well-known and even small, independent designers. This broader product selection allows the pet owner to explore and compare prices and features between different products to find just the right accessories for their pet. Apart from this, several organizations are hosting pet-specific events and activities, which is further boosting the demand for pet-related items.
