Revenues from the global pet economy are expected to reach $500 billion by 2030, according to Bloomberg Intelligence research .

In addition, the market size of the pet pharmaceutical industry is expected to expand from the current $16 billion to more than $24 billion by 2030. This growth is attributed to the optimization of pet mix, increase in consumer spending, and development of novel therapies. Innovative and breakthrough products in areas such as pain, oncology and cardiology will continue to emerge as companies apply human health research findings to pets.


Catalysts for Growth in the Pet Economy:

Humanization, e-commerce and service innovation

The trend toward humanization of pets will also further drive the industry, and BI observes that brands including Gucci, H&M and Tommy Hilfiger have already launched pet apparel lines to capitalize on this trend. The U.S. pet Halloween costume market is estimated at $700 million, according to the American Retail Federation.

36% Expansion by 2030

The report also outlines key factors such as strong e-commerce, China's growth potential, and high resilience of supplies and services, which will contribute to the growth of the pet economy. Diana Rosero-Pena, Chief Consumer Analyst, Bloomberg Intelligence, emphasized the growth potential of the pet economy, while Andrew Galler, Principal Analyst, Global Healthcare, added that innovations in the pet healthcare sector will be crucial for market expansion.

While growth in the pet supplies market may be under some pressure, BI's analysis found that the size of the global pet supplies market is likely to grow by 36% to $65.8 billion by 2030. The U.S. will continue to be the largest market, while China's market size could grow by more than 50 percent.
