Pet Hair Care Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Pet Hair Care Market Analysis

The Pet Hair Care Market size is estimated at USD 3.77 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 4.73 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.69% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The pet hair care market was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic owing to the supply chain disruptions of pet care products in its initial phase. However, the market recovered in the last two years since the export bans and other supply chain restrictions were lifted. An increase in pet adoption was accelerated by the pandemic, and increasing pet health awareness has been leading the market recovery over the last two years. For instance, according to the PDSA, animal wellbeing June 2021 report, 2 million people in the United Kingdom acquired a pet in 2021. Out of these pets, 10% were dogs, 8% were cats and 13% were rabbits. Such a high rate of pet adoption in the country has increased the focus on the grooming of pets. The market is expected to register a stable growth rate during the forecast period.

Factors that are driving the market's growth include the growing adoption of pets, rising hair problems, the growing need for natural products, and product innovations. For instance, according to the National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) in 2022, pet ownership has increased from 67% to 70% in United States households in 2021.

Furthermore, according to Der Deutsche Heimtiermarkt, 47% of the households in Germany had pets in 2021. As per the same source, the number of cats adopted was higher in Germany as compared to dogs. 16.7 million cats lived in 26% of German households in comparison to 10.3 million dogs in 21% of households in 2021. Thus, the rise in the adoption of pet animals is expected to increase the spending on the hair care needs of these animals, which, in turn, is expected to boost the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Additionally, the rising product launches by market players are significantly adding to the growth of the market. For instance, in August 2021, Pure and Natural Pet launched a new product at SuperZoo. The new product is the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Organic 2-in-1 Fragrance-Free Hypoallergenic Shampoo and Conditioner.

Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors such as the high pet adoption and rising product launches by market players, the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period. However, the side effects and allergies associated with hair care products are expected to impede the growth of the market.
