The pet wearable market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the past few years, there has been a significant expansion in the size of the pet wearable market. Its growth is expected to accelerate from $3.94 billion in 2024 to $4.55 billion in 2025, witnessing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6%.
This growth during the historical period is due to factors such as pet owners' worry for their pets' health and safety, a surge in pet ownership and humanization, the application of wearable technology in various sectors, suggestions from veterinarians for monitoring, and regulatory norms aimed at pet safety.
The pet wearable market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The size of the pet wearable market is forecasted to expand rapidly in the following years, reaching $8.83 billion in 2029 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18.0%.
This growth during the projected period can be linked to several factors including the proliferation of telemedicine for pets, personalized pet health and wellness programs, AI-enabled pet behavior insights, the increase in pet fitness and activity monitoring, and advanced pet products and accessories. Key trends for this period involve wearable devices designed for specific pet types (like cats, birds), wearable technology capable of recognizing pet emotions, augmented reality experiences designed for pets, pet data marketplaces and analytics, and subscription models for pet monitoring services.
The global pet wearable market has seen an expansion due to the growing demand for pet supervision worldwide. Pets are often considered as part of the family by their owners and thus, a considerable amount is spent on pet-based services and products. The APPA National Pet Owners Survey of 2023-2024, carried out by the American Pet Products Association, revealed that during the pandemic, new pets were purchased by 86.9 million families in the U.S. Moreover, as stated by the Pet Food Manufacturers Association, a UK trade association for the pet food sector, 3.2 million households in the UK brought a new pet during the COVID-19 pandemic. The surge in pet numbers signifies an increased demand for pet-oriented products, which includes wearable devices for pets.

Businesses within the pet wearable market are progressively embracing IoT (Internet of Things) technology for pet tracking devices, enabling pet owners to effortlessly monitor their pets' location and activities. These IoT-supported pet tracking devices employ GPS (Global Positioning System) or cellular tower triangulation, courtesy of IoT technology, to specify the tracker's exact location. Pet owners can access this data through a corresponding application on their smartphones. Benefits of these IoT-supported pet trackers encompass precise location traceability, alerts if the pet exits a defined zone, and extended battery lifespan. For example, PetPace, a US-based pet health tech firm, introduced PetPace 2.0, an AI-driven smart dog collar, in March 2024. This collar incessantly monitors vital indicators like temperature, pulse, respiration rate, and activity levels, using non-intrusive sensors and sophisticated machine learning technology. The collar's importance stems from its capability to offer almost immediate health data, triggering the early detection of potential health problems, boosting overall pet health, and allowing for remote evaluations by vets.
