Globally, pets are increasingly being treated as family members. According to the American Pet Products Association, 67% of the United States households owned pets in 2019-2020, translating to approximately 84.9 million households, a figure projected to rise. In response to this heightened pet parenting trend, pet daycare industry is rolling out premium products tailored for discerning pet owners. Younger pet owners, in particular, are prioritizing their companions' well-being, opting to spend more on healthy daycare services. This growing preference for premium offerings is set to drive substantial growth in the pet daycare market during the forecast period. 

The dog prefers the comfort of home or feels stressed in large gatherings, consider opting for an in-home daycare service. Operated by pet-care professionals, these services cater to a select few dogs in a home environment. This arrangement typically offers a serene and tailored experience for pet, making it particularly advantageous for dogs with special needs or those prone to anxiety. As per USDA, Germany stands as the largest economy within the European Union. The German pet population increased by nearly 1 million in 2020 compared to the previous year. Overall, 47% of German households had a pet in 2020, according to WZF GmbH, organizer of the Interzoo pet trade fair. 

The pet boarding industry capitalizes on premium offerings, providing pets and their owners with distinctive and sought-after services. Luxurious amenities, such as spacious kennels, cozy furnishings, specialized toys, and gourmet treats, enhance the boarding experience for pets. These premium services not only present an upselling opportunity but are also expected to boost business profits. Furthermore, pet owners are inclined to revisit these unique services, fostering customer loyalty towards the companies that offer them. As pet ownership grows and households seek convenient care options, the pet daycare market is experiencing a boost during the forecast period.     

Pet Daycare Market Trends

Rising Pet Humanization

Globally, the term "pet humanization" has gained traction in the pet industry. Pet owners increasingly seek human-like products and experiences for their pets. In 2023, the American Pet Products Association (APPA) reported that the U.S. pet industry reached expenditures of USD 147 billion, reflecting a 7.4% increase from the prior year. Furthermore, the APPA noted that the U.S. pet industry contributed a significant USD 303 billion to the national economy in 2023. Consequently, this trend of treating pets more like family members is poised to further fuel the growth of the pet care industry.

In urban China, Pet Data reported in 2023 that there were over 121.55 million cats and dogs, comprising approximately 51.75 million dogs and 69.8 million cats. Additionally, as the animal welfare movement gains momentum in China, organizations like Pet Form are making strides. They've educated and trained stray dogs and cats, facilitating the adoption of around 10,000 rescued animals into homes by 2019. With rising adoption rates, expenditures on pet care have correspondingly surged.

As pets increasingly become integral family members, household spending on pets now rivals that of children. This shift has notably boosted expenditures on premium pet treats. In 2020, Brazil's pet care market boasted nearly 150,000 retail outlets, with over 90,000 dedicated to pet care sales. Among these, specialty stores accounted for about 32,000 outlets, with a notable 80% being independent pet shops. As more consumers adopt pets, there's a noticeable premiumization in pet care, a trend that's likely to bolster the pet daycare market in the coming years.

North America Dominates the Market

The growing trend of pet humanization is driving up the demand for pet daycare services. People increasingly view their pets as integral members of the family, often seeking the best care for them. While various pet organizations strive to enhance pet lives, government entities are also investing in animal welfare. The emergence of services like pet walking, bathing, and grooming has piqued interest in daycare services, likely boosting market share. Additionally, with rising instances of depression and anxiety, psychologists suggest that pet adoption can be a beneficial remedy. As work hours extend, many find it challenging to care for their pets, leading them to seek out pet daycare services. This trend is poised to further elevate the demand for such services.

Market growth is anticipated to be driven by an increasing number of pet service facilities and rising expenditures on pets. Data from the United States Census Bureau indicates that in 2019, there were 20,413 facilities providing pet care services. Additionally, the American Pet Products Association (APPA) reported that United States pet owners spent approximately USD 103.6 billion on their pets in 2020. The dog boarding services facilities cater to both accommodation and daycare needs for dogs. They ensure supervised playtimes, personalized care, meals, and overnight stays. For those looking to pamper their pets, some premium boarding facilities provide private suites, gourmet dining options, and even spa services. The consumer trend of pet adoption drives pet care premiumization, which is anticipated to create an expansion of the pet daycare market during the forecast period.
