The growth of the pet funeral services market is anticipated to increase due to rising pet companionship rates. These rates reflect the frequency or proportion of households or individuals who own and care for pets, indicating a higher prevalence of pet ownership and stronger human-animal bonds. The rise in pet companionship rates is influenced by several factors, including greater awareness of the emotional and psychological benefits of having pets, urbanization, and an increase in single-person households seeking companionship. Pet funeral services play a crucial role by providing emotional support and closure to pet owners, helping them honor and memorialize their pets. For example, a June 2024 report by The People's Dispensary for Sick Animals, a UK-based veterinary charity, projects that the number of pet dogs in the UK will rise to approximately 10.6 million from 9.6 million in 2021. This growing rate of pet companionship is expected to drive the expansion of the pet funeral services market.

Major companies in the pet funeral services market are focusing on green options such as aquamation, to meet the increasing consumer demand for sustainable and eco-friendly end-of-life solutions. Aquamation, also known as alkaline hydrolysis, is an environmentally friendly method that uses water, alkali, and heat to break down the body into basic components. This method offers a sustainable alternative to traditional cremation and burial by using about 90% less energy and generating no harmful emissions. For instance, in March 2023, The Green Mortician, a pet funeral service provider based in Singapore, introduced the country's first pet aquamation service. This method uses approximately 800 liters of water per cycle, which is equivalent to the daily water usage of a household of five, and has a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to traditional methods.
