The pet carriers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $981.46 billion in 2025 to $1.04 trillion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing pet ownership, growing awareness of pet health, rise in domestic travel with pets, expansion of specialty pet stores, innovations in carrier materials.
The pet carriers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.34 trillion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of smart pet products, growth in e-commerce and online retail, demand for eco-friendly and sustainable carriers, rise in pet humanization trends, advancements in ergonomic and modular designs. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for lightweight and portable carriers, increased focus on pet safety and comfort features, growth in premium and luxury pet carrier segment, surge in online pet product sales, customizable and multi-functional pet carrier designs.
The increasing rate of pet adoption is anticipated to drive the growth of the pet carrier market in the future. Pet adoption involves taking in a pet from a previous owner or a shelter, which includes assuming responsibility for the animal. Pet carriers provide a means for owners to transport their pets and can also serve as indoor or outdoor kennels, making them essential for pet owners. For instance, in May 2024, a report by the Insurance Information Institute, a US-based organization, indicated that total pet industry expenditures in the U.S. reached $147 billion in 2023, reflecting a 7.5% increase from $136.8 billion in 2022. Thus, the rising pet adoption rate is a key driver of the pet carrier market's growth.
Leading companies in the pet carrier market are innovating by incorporating technologies like drop-stitch techniques to improve the durability, lightweight design, and overall comfort of pet carriers, ensuring a safer and more pleasant travel experience for both pets and their owners. Drop-stitch technology is a construction method utilized in inflatable products, where thousands of polyester threads connect the top and bottom layers, forming a robust, rigid structure when inflated. For example, in March 2023, Diggs, a US-based pet product manufacturer, introduced the Enventur. This carrier is designed for easy transport, inflating in just one minute with the recommended Diggs Manual Pump. It can be deflated and folded flat for convenient storage, making it perfect for travel.
In January 2025, Paw Prosper Inc., a US-based pet health and wellness company, completed the acquisition of Sleepypod Inc. for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Paw Prosper sought to reinforce its pet wellness offerings by entering the segment of safety-certified travel and mobility solutions, broadening its product portfolio and supporting its long-term growth strategy within the companion animal care ecosystem. Sleepypod Inc. is a US-based pet products manufacturer known for developing and marketing crash-tested pet carriers, harnesses, and travel safety systems designed for cats and small dogs.
