The global pet wheelchair market is valued at approximately USD 460.38 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 7.59% over the forecast period 2024-2032. The rising pet adoption rate, increasing awareness of pet health and mobility solutions, and advancements in veterinary care have significantly contributed to the market's growth. With growing concerns about pet mobility issues caused by age-related conditions, injuries, and genetic disorders, pet owners are increasingly opting for assistive devices such as wheelchairs to enhance their pets' quality of life. Furthermore, the availability of pet insurance plans covering mobility aids has encouraged pet owners to invest in wheelchairs for their disabled or aging pets without financial constraints.
The pet wheelchair market is witnessing substantial demand, particularly for customized and adjustable wheelchairs, owing to advancements in materials like aluminum and carbon fiber. These materials provide lightweight and durable solutions, allowing pets to regain mobility efficiently. The use of 3D printing and AI-driven customization in pet wheelchairs further enhances comfort, ensuring a tailored fit for pets of all sizes. Additionally, e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Chewy, and pet specialty online retailers have revolutionized accessibility, making pet mobility aids widely available to pet owners worldwide.
The increasing prevalence of arthritis, hip dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, and spinal injuries in pets has propelled the adoption of wheelchairs as a standard mobility aid. According to a 2024 report by the Morris Animal Foundation, around 14 million adult dogs in the U.S. suffer from osteoarthritis, making it a leading cause of mobility challenges. Similarly, feline diabetes-related neuropathy has emerged as a growing concern, leading to an increased demand for cat wheelchairs. As a result, veterinary clinics and rehabilitation centers are recommending pet wheelchairs as part of post-surgical and therapeutic recovery programs.
Regionally, North America dominated the market in 2024, holding a 54.90% revenue share, driven by increased pet ownership, rising pet insurance penetration, and the presence of key manufacturers. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period, attributed to rising disposable incomes, growing pet humanization trends, and expanding veterinary care facilities in countries like China, Japan, and India. Meanwhile, in Europe, increasing pet humanization and the rising incidence of arthritis in companion animals are further fueling market expansion.
