The global pet grooming market size was valued at USD 14.8 Billion in 2024, and it is expected to reach USD 22.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.84% from 2025 to 2033.

The global pet grooming market is growing significantly as the practice of pet ownership increases and pets are being humanized. The Insurance Information Institute states that according to the 2024 National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), nearly 56% of U.S. households, or approximately 86.9 million families, now own a pet. This increase in pet keeping is accompanied by a wider cultural shift in how animals are perceived, as they are increasingly treated like members of the family. With this mindset comes an increased desire for all forms of grooming and items related to their care for appearance and health, demonstrating a larger cultural interest in spending on the care for pets and the improvement in their comfort and quality of life. Increasing understanding of pet health and hygiene further fuels demand since a lot of grooming is equated with preventing infections as well as maintaining coat qualities and overall well-being. Premiumization is a huge driver in the market as consumers are more and more looking for premium, natural, and organic grooming products. Such products appeal to pet owners who have an environmental awareness and believe in sustainability as well as safety for their pets. There is a growing need for specific need-based grooming solutions such as hypoallergenic shampoos, skin treatments, and anti-shedding tools.

Advances in technology are now reshaping the industry. Grooming devices like smart, app-controlled grooming tools such as automated brushes are a huge convenience for tech-loving customers. On-demand grooming services and subscription-based models have also started to come up, with personalized services available on-demand to keep up with the increasingly busy schedules of pet owners. Regional factors also impact the growth of the market. Developed markets like North America and Europe are more focused on luxury grooming services and products. In emerging markets, growth in disposable incomes and urbanization are creating new opportunities. E-commerce platforms have played a pivotal role in expanding product availability and reach among consumers. Pet owners increasingly prefer online shopping for the convenience and competitive pricing offered. Manufacturers are responding to these changes by developing new and varied product lines that fulfill the demand for home-based grooming. The future of the global pet grooming market is in innovation, personalization, and sustainability. With pet owners looking for products and services that align with their values and busy lifestyles, the market is expected to grow further, driven by advancements in technology and the evolving preferences of a growing pet-loving population.
