The growth of the market is majorly driven by the increase in the rate of ownership of pets around the world. As of 2018, there were more than 470 million pet dogs and around 370 million pet cats across the world.

However, factors such as government and societal regulations on pets are expected to act as challenges to the market. Many state and local governments have restrictions on the adoption and owning of pets. Several of the local governments have banned certain species and breeds of animals from owning as pets, which impacts the demand for pet care products marketed exclusively for those animals. Nevertheless, the introduction of innovative pet care products developed by integrating advanced technology in them is anticipated to boost the market further. Products such as pet collar and belt with GPS technology and other sensors are been introduced in the market. These products can track the location and health of pets. Moreover, the use of technology in the pet care products poses lucrative opportunities to the companies in the market.
