Pet Wearable Market Trends

• 
  

  Growing awareness about pet health and the demand for remote pet monitoring drives the market growth

  
  

The pet humanization trend has led to an increased need for advanced devices from pet parents. Scientific advancements are paving the way for the introduction of smart wearables to monitor and improve pets' well-being globally accurately. These devices can help with disease detection and behavioral difficulties. The data provided by these devices can also alert pet owners to stress and other medical concerns. As a result, the increased number of pet tech startup enterprises will contribute to product utilization over the predicted time frame. The growing number of obese pets globally is a major market driver as pet owners seek strategies to manage their weight and overall health. With obesity becoming a major concern for pet health, pet wearable devices are considered a healthy and simple approach to monitoring and tracking pet activity levels, exercise, and overall well-being. According to research from the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, around 56% of dogs in the United States are fat or overweight. This substantial disease load is anticipated to increase the usage of wearable fitness trackers to monitor exercise levels. Moreover, the high investment in novel wearable technology will likely boost the adoption of pet fitness monitoring gadgets, thereby driving the pet wearable market CAGR.

Furthermore, as the number of pet owners grows, particularly among millennials, pet tracking is becoming increasingly popular. According to the APPA (American Pet Products Association) poll from 2021-2022, 70% of homes had pets. Furthermore, rising demand for easy and creative remote gadgets with GPS trackers will drive product sales among families. Similarly, Frontiers in Veterinary Medicine reported in October 2021 that 37% of Canadian homes had one or more cats, with the percentage increasing dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic phase. Thus, rising pet adoption in North American countries is boosting the demand for pet wearables to track and monitor the activities of pets, thereby propelling the growth of the Pet Wearable Market revenue.

Pet Wearable Market Segment Insights:

Pet Wearable Product Insights

Based on the product, the Pet Wearable Market segmentation includes smart collars, smart vests, and smart harnesses. The smart collars category generated the most income (45%). One of the primary drivers of growth in the market for smart-connected pet collars is the growing need for pet monitoring among working people. Due to a hectic lifestyle and extended working hours, pet owners' demand for smart-connected collars that allow them to interact with their pets from their offices is rapidly increasing. A smart pet collar is a gadget that links to a smartphone by Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and offers information about the animal, such as its whereabouts, training schedule, and other details. Unlike the present standard collar, it serves multiple functions. In addition, pet owners will be able to monitor various aspects of their pet's health.

Pet Wearable Technology Insights

The Pet Wearable Market segmentation based on technology includes RFID devices, GPS, and Bluetooth. The RFID devices segment dominated the global market, accounting for 44% of market revenue (0.4 billion). The two most important factors driving the growth of the wearable pet industry are dependability and accuracy. RFID trackers assist in monitoring health factors such as heart rate variability, calorie intake, body temperature, and pulse. These advantages are critical to maintaining category growth, which will likely continue in the coming years.
