This trend during the pandemic saw a rise in demand not only from metros but also from tier II and III cities

This in the result is supporting the growth of pet food, accessories, grooming market, and pet healthcare market. The overall India Pet Care market is expected to cross INR 10500 crores by the end of the year 2027-28. The emerging global trends and rising disposable income are the prime factors for such a market growth rate.
The entry and expansion of many players into the pet care industry forecast a positive view for the market in India. Due to certain social and cultural constrictions, dog populations vastly outnumber that of cats in India. The hectic lifestyles developed due to modernization have made most urban dwellers time-handicapped, leading to an increased preference for commercially packaged pet foods. Products such as multivitamin, supplements, eye and ear care products, dental care/oral care products, diapers, etc. are some of the trending pet healthcare products in the market.

Whilst some people keep their pets for entertainment or show off, some of them also adopt them to curb their loneliness. Of all the pets, dogs and cats are largely preferable as they are friendly and faithful. The market is led by the dog segment which accounted for more than half of the market share, while the rabbit segment is expected to grow to more than 26% anticipated CAGR. Though the people in rural areas don't spend much on ready-made foods or the grooming or accessories part, still they keep the pets for their interest. India is an emerging economy for the pet care market in the Asia-Pacific region and it has a lot of potential in the upcoming years.

Stylish and cute pets are the global trends in the market which urge the demand for pet grooming products, allowing the segment to grow with an anticipated CAGR of more than 30%. At last, pet health care is most important for the healthy living of the pets. Vitamin and mineral deficiency, weaker bones and nails, shedding of hair or fur, poor eyesight, and hearing are the most common problems faced by pet owners. Hence, products such as Multivitamin, supplements, Eye and ear care products, Dental care/oral care products, diapers, etc. are some of the trending pet healthcare products in the market.

The market has a high dominance of the southern region, which accounted for higher market share in 2021-22. The major market driver in the region is the high literacy level and disposable income, among nuclear families. In the Northern and Eastern regions, the families are more associated with farming and other traditional business. Thus the adoption rate of domestic cattle is higher than for fulfilling their agricultural and daily requirements.

The easy availability of these pet care products is a major attraction factor for pet parents. With the organized sales channel and rising demand, the India Pet Care Market is expected to see robust growth in the future. Even though the online store segment holds the least market share, it is expected to be growing with the highest anticipated CAGR in the forecasted period.
