Pet care products are increasingly becoming popular among pet owners. These products may include shampoos, collars, leashes, sweaters, etc. With growing pet adoption, the demand for care products is likely to surge shortly. As per the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), around 6.5 million companion animals with 3.3 million dogs and 3.2 million cats enter the U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year. As per the same source, around 3.2 million shelter animals i.e. 1.6 million dogs and 1.6 million cats are adopted each year in the U.S. Hence, such a high adoption rate can stimulate the growth of the pet care products market.
Some of the most commonly found chemicals in these types of pet products are sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which is commonly used as a foaming agent in shampoo, conditioner, hair wash, and body wash. However, it is also found in bath gels, body washes, nail polish, shaving creams, and deodorants. Another key factor accelerating the demand for pet care products is the rising prevalence of foodborne and zoonotic diseases. Pet owners are increasingly spending on the healthcare of their pets due to the high prevalence of foodborne disease. Thus, the demand for premium and high-quality food products. Hence, such factors can augment the growth of the pet care products market.
