Grooming is essential to a pet's health as it indicates that the cat or dog is leading a healthy lifestyle that helps extend its lifespan. Pet grooming accessories keep pets hygienic, and odor-free, and reduce dander and hair loss.

Improper care can cause pain and discomfort to animals and others. The increasing importance of pet health & welfare and the rising demand for styling leads to increasing demand for the global market.

The rise in the availability of attractive and designer pet accessories and clothes has attracted a larger consumer base which will further drive the market growth. Furthermore, most companies now provide luxurious apparel such as hoodies, shirts, jackets, sweaters, and others for pets to make them look attractive. For instance, in November 2019, French-based sportswear manufacturer Moncler Spa partnered with Italian clothing store Poldo Dog Couture to launch a small collection of dog clothes including gilets, raincoats, and vests.

The online platform has made it easier for the customer to buy any pet grooming and accessories product. Moreover, many companies have entered the online sales channel to increase their product reach and to meet the growing demand for pet products worldwide. A company's effective e-commerce website with engaging content attracts visitors to purchase pet grooming products such as blow pens for pet fur from their website.

SEGMENTATION

By Type Analysis

Easy Availability of Pet Accessories to Accelerate Product Sales

Based on types, the market is divided into pet clothing, pet accessories, and pet grooming /services. The pet accessories segment dominates the market owing to the rise in pet adoption in developing and developed countries. Furthermore, pet owners nowadays are looking for attractive and strong pet accessories to keep their pets safe and for the safety of other dogs and people along the road.  

However, the pet clothing segment is likely to grow significantly during the forecast period due to the availability of luxurious outfits such as hoodies, shirts, and others to make it easy for people to beautify their pet dogs with such outfits. This, in turn, helps companies in building their brand image. For instance, in November 2019, Moncler Spa, a France-based sports wearable products manufacturer, collaborated with an Italian clothing store, Poldo Dog Couture, to introduce a pint-sized collection of dog outfits, including products such as raincoats, gilets, and vests.

By Pet Type Analysis

High Adoption Rate of Dogs as Pets Will Drive the Market Growth

The pet type segment is further divided into dog, cats and others.

According to The American Pet Products Association, in the year 2021-2022, 35% of pet owners stated that they had spent more on pet care items, wellness, and food. Furthermore, the rise in dog adoption, especially by millennials across the globe, will further drive market growth.

Mass production allows the effective and efficient production of many similar products.

However, the luxury segment is likely to grow significantly during the forecast period due to the rise in disposable income of individuals and high spending on quality and luxury products by pet owners. Additionally, recent launches of highly fashionable dog apparel are likely to attract the higher-income group of animal owners towards buying such items thereby, driving segmental growth. For instance, Italian apparel brand Dsquared2 partnered with apparel retailer Poldo Dog Coutour to launch a full line of fashionable dog apparel in Italy in September 2020.

The American Veterinary Medical Association states that cat adoption is becoming more common in the U.S. in recent years.
