Besides this, the rising number of luxury pet resorts is also providing a positive outlook to the overall market growth. For instance, Wag Hotels, which provides various pet grooming-related services, opened a luxury pet resort in March 2023.

The Rising Trend of Pet Humanization

The pet grooming market size is significantly driven by the growing trend of pet humanization, where pets are treated as family members. According to the National Pet Owner's Survey conducted in 2021-2022 by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) in the United States reported that almost 90.5 million households have a pet. Over the last 30 years, pet ownership has gone from 56.0% to 68.0% of all households.

In line with this, they recognize that the quality of grooming products can directly impact the skin health, hygiene, and overall comfort of their pets.

Moreover, Wahl's dog grooming products include trimmers, finishing tools, clippers, and combo sets. Furthermore, Ryan's Pet Supplies introduced the Low-Low Grooming Table, which aimed to elevate the grooming experience and provide convenience for both groomers and pets. In line with this, they also improved their cage banks, which offered a better solution for pet containment during grooming sessions.
