The global pet grooming market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. The increasing trend for the pet as a companion increases the possibility of zoonotic diseases (diseases passing from animals & insects to people), which acts as one of the major factors for the growth of the market. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), zoonotic diseases are very common in the US and Europe. It is estimated that over 6 out of 10 infectious diseases in humans are spread from animals in the US. Moreover, over 3 out of every 4 unknown or new infectious diseases in humans are spread from animals. CDC and other healthcare organizations are focused to prevent such a large spread of zoonotic diseases by generating awareness for pet hygiene. Such factors will increase the demand for pet grooming during the forecast period. However, a lack of awareness regarding the grooming products for pets especially for people living in rural areas may hamper the smooth growth of the market during the forecast period.

Segmental Outlook 

The global pet grooming market is segmented based on the type and distribution channel. Based on the type, the market is segmented into shampoo & conditioner, comb & brush, clippers & scissors, and others. Among these types, the shampoo segment is anticipated to hold the major share as it has the ability to kill germs, prevent pets from diseases, maintain hygiene, and give fragrance to the pet, among others. The comb & brush are used to remove the dirt, dead hair, and loose hair tangles, which helps spread hair oil evenly and stimulates blood flow for healthy skin. Furthermore, it also helps maintain the moisture of fur and reduces shedding. The hairs of pets usually trap allergens, bacteria, and dirt quickly, however, giving them baths prevents bacteria and dirt from causing infections.

Based on the distribution channel, the market is sub-segmented into offline and online. Among these distribution channels, the online segment is expected to grow fastest during the forecast period as the consumers’ purchasing preferences rapidly changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The above-mentioned segments can also be customized as per the requirements.

Regional Outlooks

The global pet grooming market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).  The market can also be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement.
