COVID-19 IMPACT 

Lockdowns Resulted in Increased Pet Ownership but Disrupted Services

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic situation created an unusually distinctive market for pet care service sectors. Lockdowns and remote working resulted in more and more adoptions of animals as people seek their companions during isolation. This increased the level of pet ownership, which increased demand for veterinary services, grooming, and training, but the services remained disrupted due to lockdowns and social distancing regulations. Clinics, grooming centers, and training facilities had to make all new health and safety protocols, hence the trends towards mobile and contactless services. Although short-term losses were involved because of restricted operations in general, a pandemic ended up promoting the need for professional pet care, ushering in long-term growth in the market.

LATEST TREND

The latest trends include pet humanization and increasing demand for premium pet care products.

With increased interest from pet owners about considering pets as their family members, the trend of pet humanization is positively impacting pet care service market growth. Since the upkeep cost of larger pets is more compared to smaller pets, urbanization is forcing people to live in compact places where larger pets are not more beneficial. Small pets are more likely to be pampered and humanized than larger pets due to this very reason. Natural, high-quality safer pet care products are available. Given the rising trend of luxury pet grooming products globally, many companies are looking for prime-quality pet care products to gain a considerable share of the market. Pet fashion's appeal among pet lovers favors the industry and will contribute significantly to considerable market growth over the forecast period. This encourages market players to launch a range of new and customized pet grooming products. With many companies investing heavily in R&D to develop new and innovative offerings, the wave of humanizing pets is also driving the pet care service market share.
