As science and technology keep improving and living standards rise, the pet industry is going through a huge change. This change has also seen the rise of intelligent pet raising, which is now an important driving force for the industry. It not only makes life better for pets, but also makes it much easier for pet owners to manage their pets on a daily basis. It has also led to a surge in purchases worldwide.
It's becoming more and more obvious that smart pet ownership is a global trend. According to consultancy SkyWest, over 52% of American adults and 67% of Europeans have bought smart devices for their pets. There's a growing demand for pet management and a high level of acceptance of smart technology among pet owners, which is driving this high level of acceptance.
In North America, smart pet supplies make up about 46% of the market, with the main products being smart feeders, smart toys, smart kennels, smart litter boxes and so on. The smart feeder market is particularly strong, reflecting the fast-paced lives of modern people and the needs of pet owners who are often away from home for long periods. Smart feeders are great for pet owners who are away from home and can't feed their pets regularly. They provide accurate and timed feeding services for pets. We're expecting North America to keep making a big contribution to the global automatic pet feeder market in the coming years.
We're also seeing rapid growth in the pet smart supplies market in Europe. As more and more pets are being adopted and governments are stepping up their regulation of pet owners, we're expecting to see a significant increase in demand for pet smart supplies in the region over the next few years. Germany is a big player in the European pet market and is seeing more and more people getting pets, which is driving the growth of the smart pet supplies market.
As smart pet ownership has grown, so has the market. And as the market has grown, so have the products. At the moment, there are a few main types of smart pet products on the market: smart feeding devices, smart cleaning devices, smart monitoring devices and smart wearable devices.
Smart feeding devices are one of the top products on the market. Smart pet feeders are great for pet owners who can't be home to feed their pets regularly. The built-in sensors and smart chips can adjust the feeding schedule based on the pet's physical condition and eating habits. Smart water dispensers are great for solving the problem of pets drinking water at home. They can also help to increase the amount of water they drink by triggering the animal's curiosity with the built-in pump.
Smart cleaning devices like smart litter trays are also really popular with pet owners. These devices can detect when your pet has done their business and clean the litter automatically, which is great for hygiene and health.
Intelligent monitoring devices can keep an eye on your pet from a distance, sending you real-time video clips of what they're up to. These devices help pet owners keep track of their pets' health and safety, and also help them spot any unusual behaviour and take the right steps.
Smart wearable devices can also help to keep pets safe by using positioning, tracking and other functions to prevent them from getting lost. Built-in sensors and smart chips can also monitor the pet's physical condition in real time, such as body temperature, heart rate, step count and other indicators. These devices not only make it safer for pets, but they also give pet owners a better understanding of their pets' health.
Picture the future and what it holds for the smart pet care market. It's going to keep on growing fast, thanks to AI, IoT and other tech, as well as more and more pet owners looking for these products. However, it also has a few hurdles to overcome along the way. For instance, how can we make products even smarter, cut costs and meet different market demands in different countries and regions? So, businesses need to keep coming up with new ideas and making their products better to meet customer needs and deal with the issues they're facing.
To sum up, the rise of intelligent pet care has brought new opportunities and challenges to the pet industry. If we keep innovating and improving our products, we can win over the market and consumers' trust.
