Increasing Pet Owner Demand for Pet Inclusion and Expanding Pet Tourism to Provide Viable Market Output

Pet owners' increased demand for pet inclusion is expected to drive growth in the worldwide pet travel services industry. The globe is seeing a transformation in how animals are treated, including how they are housed and transported. Pet owners are becoming more conscious of their rights and calling for inclusion. Worldwide, various international and domestic organizations work tirelessly to guarantee that animals are not mistreated while being cared for at home or transported from one area to another.

Furthermore, pet tourism is seeing exponential growth due to various causes, including an increasing number of families ready to pay extra money for traveling with pets and changing attitudes. Increased investment in creating pet-friendly infrastructure in developed and developing countries is also a major driver of worldwide business growth. This is aided further by the increase in players offering quality services at reasonable pricing.

In the United States and Canada, more than 50 pet travel companies are recognized by the International Pet and Animal Transportation Association (IPATA).

The Factors are Limiting the Market Growth for Pet Transportation

Increased Animal Death Rates While Travelling to Hinder Market Growth

However, the global sales volume in the pet travel services sector may be hindered by several factors throughout the projection period. Concern should be expressed over factors including rising pet missing-pet rates and animal fatalities during transportation. For example, between 2015 and 2017, United Airlines noted that approximately 75% of the animals it transported died. Less revenue may also result from other problems, including the frequency of animal health problems varying by breed and transportation.

Impact Of COVID-19 on the Pet Transportation Services Market

Due to travel restrictions and adjustments to air travel regulations, the COVID-19 pandemic has substantially influenced the market for pet travel services, causing a fall in demand for pet airlines and transport businesses. As a result of regulatory changes, several airlines have stopped offering pet travel services, and it is now harder and more expensive to transport pets internationally. But as pet adoption and fostering have increased, and people have relocated, there has been a rise in demand for pet transportation services. It is anticipated that as the world adjusts to the epidemic, the market for pet travel services will change. Introduction of Pet Transport Service

The growing worldwide mobility of pet owners and the increasing globalization of society are important drivers. Pet transport services are increasingly in demand as more people and families cross international borders. Due to this factor, there is a significant opportunity for service providers to broaden their clientele and meet the rising need for easy cross-border pet travel.

These developments empower businesses to offer better-tailored solutions, which, in turn, contribute to the growth of the pet transport travel type industry.

For instance, for over 30 to 50 years, some of the biggest players in the industry, like Airpets International and Pets Abroad UK, have offered various domestic and international travel options for pets.

Global Companion Animal Diagnostics market size will be USD 7.23 Billion by 2030. Companion Animal Diagnostics Industry's Compound Annual Growth Rate will be 8.42% from 2023 to 2030. Market Dynamics Drivers:

Rising veterinary healthcare expenditure and growing demand for pet insurance:

The primary driver of the market's expansion is an increase in companion animals, rising veterinary healthcare costs, and demand for pet insurance. For instance, the American Pet Products Association, Inc. research estimates that the United States pet sector spent USD 97.1 billion, USD 103.6 billion, and USD 123.6 billion in 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively. Similar to this, the North American pet insurance market surpassed USD 2.83 billion by the end of 2021, according to research by the North American Pet Health Insurance Association (NAPHIA), and the sector saw growth of more than double over the previous four years (2018 - 2021). Additionally, it stated that in 2021, the United States' total premium volume for pet insurance was estimated to be about USD 2.6 billion. At the end of 2021, there were around 3.9 million insured pets in the United States, a 28.0% increase from 2020. As a result, such occurrences point to a large market expansion throughout the projection period.

Increasing prevalence of chronic disorders in pets: 

Animals suffered from chronic illnesses like humans. Common chronic diseases in pets include arthritis and other orthopedic disorders, chronic renal disease, cancer, hepatitis and other liver diseases, skin allergies, inflamed bowel diseases, and thyroid. Both domesticated animals and wild animals are susceptible to cancer. Animals have been diagnosed with several cancer forms that, like human cancers, show signs such as unexplained weight loss, unusual swelling, and lethargy. According to Association for pet obesity prevention 2022, the Pet Obesity Prevalence Survey showed that there had been a rise in the number of overweight and obese cats and dogs, with 61% and 59%, respectively, being overweight or obese. This rate for dogs climbed from 56% in 2018 and 2017 and for cats from 60%.

Restraints:

Rising pet care costs:

Both pet ownership rates and pet care costs have increased during the previous ten years. Over the past ten years, there has been a sharp increase in the cost of pet care. Despite their efficacy, contemporary monitoring, diagnostic, and treatment procedures are expensive, which is largely to blame for the high expenses. Although treatments depend on advanced products and techniques, the supplies and equipment needed to carry out these operations can be rather expensive. According to a 2022 Lending Tree poll on pet spending, More than 75% of pet owners say inflation is driving up the cost of pet ownership, and over 26% are having trouble keeping up with rising prices. When a companion animal, such as a dog, cat, or horse, has a disease or problem, companion animal diagnostics refers to using diagnostic procedures and equipment to identify and diagnose it. By enabling the early identification, precise diagnosis, and efficient treatment of a variety of illnesses in pets, companion animal diagnostics serve an essential role in veterinary care. Several reasons drive the companion animal diagnostics industry. First, there is an increased need for high-quality companion animal healthcare due to the rise in pet ownership and human-animal interaction. The need for diagnostic services is being driven by pet owners' increased willingness to spend money on diagnosing and treating their pets' medical ailments. The development of diagnostic technology, a rise in zoonotic infections (diseases that may spread from animals to people), chronic diseases in companion animals, and the necessity for early disease identification and prevention are other reasons that also fueled the market expansion.

The European animal feed productions market is evolving, driven by a surge in demand for organic, sustainable and high-welfare products. This shift extends into the diets of their livestock and pets. The number of farms practicing organic methods (including in France, which boasts the third-highest area of organic farms globally) is on the rise, boosting demand for organic feeds. This is pushing the industry to innovate and adapt to meet these new preferences head-on. The EU’s Farm to Fork Strategy is putting additional pressure on the feed producers to pursue more sustainable practices. Feed producers are now navigating a tighter regulatory landscape aimed at safeguarding animal and human health, as well as protecting the environment. This legislative push is fostering a wave of research and development in new, sustainable feed materials – but it's not just livestock feed that's getting a green makeover. The pet food sector is also riding the wave of change. European pet owners are demanding more from their pet's diets, seeking out premium, health-optimised options that cater to a range of dietary needs, from allergies to age-specific requirements. This shift is driving innovation and an uptick in the production of specialised, high-quality pet foods. Despite this, high inflation in recent years means that animal feed revenue has fallen in real terms; it’s set to drop at a compound annual rate of 2.7% over the five years through 2024 to €120.9 billion, including a 3.4% drop in 2024. Looking ahead, the industry's outlook appears green and promising. Revenue is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 3.1% over the five years through 2029 to reach €141.1 million. Environmental concerns are reshaping both what we feed our animals and how we produce that feed. There's a growing consensus that traditional livestock feed, which consumes a third of global farmland, isn't sustainable. More investment is being made into insect-based feed, a solution that could be more environmentally sustainable. Insects, a protein-rich and less land-intensive option, are already making waves in aquafeed, where seven species have been approved in the EU since 2017.

The Spanish dog and cat food market shrank slightly to $1.7B in 2024, with a decrease of -1.7% against the previous year.
