• The market for pet carriers will likely witness robust growth in the coming years, expanding to $1284.16 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.
This projected growth during the forecast period is primarily due to factors such as an increase in pet adoptions, the boom in e-commerce, attention towards pet safety and comfort, the rise of customization and personalization, and health and wellness concerns.

What Are The Key Drivers Fueling Growth In The Pet Carriers Market?
The pet carrier market is forecasted to expand due to increasing rates of pet adoption. Adoption of pets includes taking over from a past owner who either surrendered the animal or left it at a shelter. This process involves having custody of and taking care of the pet. Pet carriers, which can serve as an indoor or outdoor dog kennel, provide pet owners with the means to move their pets and as such, the growth in pet adoption will spur the pet carrier market. As an illustration, the Insurance Information Institution, a US-based organization, published a report in May 2024 indicating that the overall spending in the U.S. pet industry rose to $147 billion in 2023, a 7.5 percent rise from $136.8 billion in 2022. Consequently, the heightened pet adoption rate is a catalyst for the pet carrier market.

Which Emerging Market Trends Are Altering The Pet Carriers Industry?
Prominent corporations functioning in the pet carrier industry are innovating with technologies such as drop-stitch methods to boost the sturdiness, lightweight architecture, and overall convenience of pet carriers. This allows for a safer, more pleasant journey for both pets and their caregivers. Drop-stitch technology is a technique used in the making of inflatable goods which employs thousands of polyester strands to connect the upper and lower layers, establishing a strong, inflexible form when inflated. For example, Diggs, a company that produces pet items in the US, unveiled Enventur in March 2023. The Enventur, with its easy transport design, inflates in a minute with the suggested Diggs Manual Pump, and can also be deflated and compressed for simple storage, making it perfect for travel.
