Mobile Pet Care Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Mobile Pet Care Market Analysis

The Mobile Pet Care Market size is estimated at USD 0.72 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 2 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.45% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The mobile pet care market is driven by the increasing number of pet owners, increasing awareness of pet health, growing demand for pet care grooming and veterinary services, and several key initiatives taken by the market players.

The global adoption of pets is increasing significantly, with pets becoming an essential part of households worldwide. Pet owners are placing greater emphasis on their pets' well-being. This heightened concern has driven the demand for mobile pet care services, offering convenient and personalized care. These services are particularly attractive to pet owners with busy lifestyles, providing them with the flexibility and assurance that their pets receive the best possible care.

For instance, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals study conducted in 2023, every year, around 6.3 million companion animals are brought into animal shelters in the United States, including 3.1 million dogs and 3.2 million cats. Similarly, according to the Pet Ownership Statistics 2024, pet ownership in the United States has jumped significantly over the past three decades. As of 2024, 66% of US households (86.9 million homes) own a pet. Thus, high pet adoption is expected to increase demand for mobile veterinary services such as grooming, which is anticipated to boost the market’s growth during the forecast period.

The increasing awareness of pet health and the growing recognition of the importance of regular grooming and veterinary care significantly drive the demand for mobile pet care services. This trend highlights the growing demand for easy-to-use and readily available pet care options that meet the needs of busy pet owners.

For instance, in May 2023, Pets at Home rebranded and launched a creative campaign to announce the change. The company also introduced a new section on its official website titled "We're All for Pets," which serves as a hub for various services, including grooming and pet products. The campaign features a short film and runs across multiple channels, including cinema, TV, radio, social media, and digital platforms. Such a campaign creates awareness of pet healthcare and provides the importance of grooming services, which is likely to contribute to the market's growth over the projected period.

Furthermore, market players engage in strategic expansion and service launches to stay competitive and hold a major share, contributing to the market's growth. For instance, in April 2023, Petco Health and Wellness Company Inc. unveiled its clean grooming services and products, now accessible at more than 1,350 Petco pet care locations.

Thus, all the abovementioned factors, such as growing pet adoption, awareness of pet heat, and strategic activities such as service introduction, are expected to boost the market’s growth during the projected period. However, low out-of-pocket expenditure in developing and underdeveloped countries is anticipated to limit the market’s growth during the forecast period.
