U.S. Pet Wearable Market Growth & Trends:
The U.S. pet wearable market size is anticipated to reach USD 2.07 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 12.9% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing emphasis on pet welfare and safety coupled with the introduction of smart pet wearables with advanced features is expected to drive market growth. Moreover, increasing spending on pet products with rising disposable incomes and the purchasing power of consumers are some of the crucial factors expected to drive market growth.
The companies in this market engage in vigorous product development and research, in turn, introducing products for various types of pet animals other than cats and dogs. For instance, Stellapps, a dairy technology company based in India, offers a wearable device for cattle named mooON. It acts as a pedometer that detects heat and various disorders based on the cattle's resting behavior and activities. The insights obtained through this data can be used to improve nutrition and implement better farm practices to enhance milk quality and yield. The introduction of such products is expected to increase the adoption of wearables for livestock applications, which contributes to market growth.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the pet wearables market faced some challenges because manufacturing slowed down. People couldn't easily visit the vet because of travel restrictions, so they turned to pet wearables to keep tabs on their pets' health. These gadgets helped vets observe pet's behavior during virtual appointments. Because more owners kept using pet wearables, the market stayed steady even during the pandemic.
