The global pet mobility aids market size is anticipated to reach USD 2.97 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.55% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing number of pet adoptions, advancements in pet healthcare, and rising technological advancements are the major factors contributing to the market growth. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), in 2022, 65 million U.S. households had dogs as pets, 47 million U.S. households had cats as pets, and 87 million U.S. households had any animals as pets.
The market is witnessing a significant growth for prosthetics. The growth is attributed to partial amputations, torn ligaments, cancer, and severe fractures in pets. With advancements in veterinary medicine and technology, pet owners are increasingly seeking solutions to enhance the quality of life for pets with limb impairments or amputations. Prosthetics provide a possible option to restore mobility, enabling pets to lead more active and fulfilling lives. For instance, in June 2021, Bionic Pets, a company specializing in pet prosthetics and other pet mobility products, and the H/3 Foundation helped three Southern Utah University students design prosthetic legs for a dog who had lost its back legs in an accident.
Improving veterinary hospital & clinic facilities act as a crucial distribution point for pet mobility aid products. Moreover, they are the centers to get pet treatments and perform medical procedures, such as surgeries and amputations. Hence, pet owners prefer veterinary hospital & clinic facilities as a convenient place for guidance on pet mobility aid products. For instance, in August 2022, Shimada, a veterinary prosthetist, designed a prosthetic leg for a Saint Bernard puppy. Shimada has assisted over 30,000 animals facing partial disability resulting from accidents or illnesses by manufacturing orthotics and prosthetics.
