they get to spend time with their fur babies instead of worrying about their care.

they dont have to make stressful trips to the vets and groomers

Market Growth

According to the report entitled “India Pet Care Market Outlook, 2025”, the Indian Pet care market is expected
to reach INR 5457 crore by the end of the year 2025.

In order to gain the attention of the pet owners, the brands have adopted the strategy of premiumisation.
Now they are making premium products for the pets and targeting the intuition by introducing their pets as
their family member.

"Pet parents" are increasingly concerned about the health of their pets. And that they're willing to spend
money to maximize the health of their furry friends.

Market and Trends

Trends

The pet industry has traditionally been made up by handful of product categories: Food, Toys, Beds, Leashes,

Hygiene, Pet grooming but we're starting to see significant amounts of innovation in pet product R&D such as

launching new pet care categories like pet wipes, pet toothpaste, etcPet Owners Increasingly Opt For DTC

(direct to consumer pet care products)

There are several companies producing pet supplements especially including CBD oil, which is said to be helpful

for osteoporosis in dogs, and so sales of pet supplements are really taking off.

Groups of pet owners are willing to buy relatively expensive high end products for their pets, which ahd led to

more luxury brands and companies putting out luxury products

Pet food brands gaining market share via niche pet foods by introducing categories like freeze dried dog food

to extend its shelf life, raw dog food, keto pet food, etc
