The global pet diapers market size is expected to reach USD 1.21 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 8.12% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is driven by a proliferation of online retail platforms, rising awareness about dog hygiene and health, and increasing pet ownership globally. As pet ownership continues to rise, more people treat their pets as beloved family members. This trend has led to increased spending on pet care products, including pet diapers, to ensure the comfort and hygiene of their pets. Moreover, with improved veterinary care and nutrition, pets are living longer. Elderly pets, like elderly humans, may experience incontinence or other health issues that require the use of diapers.
Pets are susceptible to cognitive impairment as they age, just like people. Both dogs and cats can get the gradually progressing condition known as cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS). Pets' cognitive capacities may begin to decline as they become older (age 7+); nevertheless, most CDS cases affect animals 11 years of age and older. In 2021, feline cognitive dysfunction (FDC) has affected one-third of cats aged 11 to 14 and 50% of cats aged 15 and older, according to a Sandia Animal Clinic article. Canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD) affects 28% of dogs between the ages of 11 and 14 and 68% of canines between the ages of 15 and 24. Pets with CDS may exhibit signs including disorientation, behavioral abnormalities, and a decline in cognitive ability. The market often provides a particular function, focusing mostly on animals with mobility limitations, incontinence issues, or females that are in heat. These products are intended to help pets who have difficulties controlling their urine or intestines, manage accidents, and keep their homes clean.
During the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, many industries experienced disruptions due to lockdowns, supply chain issues, and changes in consumer behavior. However, the impact on the market was likely minimal compared to other sectors. During times of crisis, pet owners might prioritize essential pet supplies like food and medications over non-essential items like diapers. This shift in priorities has affected the overall demand for pet diapers. Moreover, during the height of the pandemic, many people were confined to their homes due to lockdowns and travel restrictions. Therefore, pet owners might have spent more time with their pets and had fewer reasons to use pet diapers indoors. This could have led to a reduced demand for pet diapers.
