Global Pet Pad Market

New Delhi, March 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to Astute Analytica research, the global pet pad market is projected to grow to US$ 2,092.4 million by 2032, up from US$ 1,075.1 million in 2023, at a CAGR of 7.68% during the forecast period 2024–2032.

Pet pad sales are growing at a consistent pace. More people now own pets, and these animals are being spoiled with convenience products. The average American household has about three pets, so when it comes to pet-related items such as pads, it drives a significant demand. Pet owners are also becoming more financially stable. With that extra cash flow, they’re able to buy more things for their animal companions. North America has the highest growth in this market, but Europe and Asia aren’t too far behind. As Astute Analytica’s research shows that sales of pet products show that consumers are shifting towards buying their stuff online. The availability of products like dog training pads or puppy pee pads on Amazon surely plays a huge role in this growth.

Our research shows that customers use pet pads for various reasons across the global pe pad market. First-time dog owners who have brought home a new puppy help contribute to almost 90% of pet pad usage during house-training. Older dogs who struggle with keeping it in also use them quite often for comfort and cleanliness. When traveling with pets or having them stay in a crate for hours, these super-absorbent objects offer familiarity and safety for our furry friends.  The success of these products could be credited to the preferences of consumers too. Most people want some high-tech features included in their pet’s accessories like odor control or leak-proof designs. It has also been found that most of the consumers are avoiding buying generic brands and prefer buying them from specific labels like Hartz Ultra-Absorbent Training Pads or AmazonBasics Leak-Proof Pet Pads.

Pee Pad Market Booms: Rising Pet Ownership and Urbanization Fuel Demand

The pet pad business is booming across the pet pad market, and it's not hard to see why. With nearly 70% of American households owning at least one pet, demand is high. Especially in overcrowded cities like Houston (TX), Bern (Switzerland), Havana (Cuba), San Diego (CA), San Francisco (CA), Denver (CO), Chicago (IL), where living spaces are shrinking, many pet owners are giving up on outdoor potty training. Instead, they're turning to pads that their pets can use indoors. The elderly pet population also contributes to this trend. As dogs get older, they're prone to bladder control issues and will often need a pee pad close by at all times. People stuck with busy schedules or who have limited mobility find the pads especially convenient for trips outside.

Additionally, online sales for the product in the pet pad market have soared over the last year as people become more aware of them and how easy it is to purchase them over the internet. Over half of dog owners say they've used pee pads before, and plenty of elderly people buy them to support their aging pets' needs. Only 30% of Americans have access to an outdoor area for their animals, so many veterinarians recommend pee pads for those clients whose pets aren't able to go outside often enough.

As time goes on and new products enter the pet pad market, the market players continue to respond with enthusiasm too: Odor control innovations are a hot item right now; so are pads with pheromone attractants that encourage pets to use them; travel-sized sets are getting extremely popular among pet owners who never takes their animal out; and reusable options do wonders for the environment while still ensuring cleanliness around home or office space.
