Based on technology, the market is divided into RFID devices, GPS, sensors and Bluetooth. In 2023, the sensor segment accounted for a market share of over 10%. Sensors enable constant monitoring of vital indicators, including temperature, heart rate, and breathing rate. Using this real-time data, doctors and pet owners can monitor the health of their animals, identify irregularities early on, and act accordingly. Some wearables include sensors that track environmental factors such as UV exposure, humidity, and temperature. This information assists pet owners in providing the ideal living environment for their pets and protects them from potential hazards.
Based on application, the pet wearable market is categorized into medical diagnosis & treatment, identification & tracking, fitness monitoring, and behavior monitoring & control. The fitness monitoring segment is expected to hold over USD 5.8 billion by 2032. The demand for fitness monitoring devices is growing as it helps pet owners to take an active role in their pets' health by monitoring their progress, setting and reaching goals, and acknowledging accomplishments.
Additionally, it has been observed in the past few years that pet obesity is a growing issue globally. Devices such as fitness monitors enable pet owners to monitor the level of activity, calories burnt, and exercise routines of their pets, thereby aiding in weight management and the avoidance of health problems linked to obesity/other such health problems.
In 2023, North America dominated the pet wearable market with over 58% of the market share. The U.S. is home to many pets and the country ranks first in terms of spending on pets. Pets are increasingly being considered as family members, increasing investments in their welfare. Pet owners are open to using technological solutions, such as wearables that can track pets’ activities and health, improving their quality of life.
Additionally, pet wearables are going through several important technological developments, including increased sensor accuracy, longer battery life, and better communication with smart devices and mobile apps. Wearables are becoming more dependable and enticing to tech-savvy pet owners owing to these technological improvements.
Europe is also witnessing a growing trend of pet adoption and considering them as their family members rather than their pets. The pet wearable market in this region is growing, as a result of heightened manufacturer competition and the release of new goods with cutting-edge features. This competition leads to improved product offerings and greater consumer choice.
Asia Pacific countries are experiencing an increase in the trend of pet ownership, which is being fueled by changing lifestyles, urbanization, and rising disposable incomes. There is a growing trend of pet ownership and a corresponding interest in wearables and other technologies that can improve the safety and well-being of their pets.
