The global pet hair care market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.08% to reach US$1,528.434 million by 2026, from US$1,072.619 million in 2020. Pet hair care products such as shampoo, conditioner, shedding, and trimming tools are used for the overall health and wellbeing of pets. Additionally, there is a rise in the adoption of pets such as dogs, cats, horses, and birds among others in the developing regions which have led to growth in the opportunities for the pet hair care market. The key drivers for this rise in adoption of pets are urbanization, rise in nuclear families, high disposable income, and the changing perceptions towards pets. The increase in the trend of the humanization of pets and the intense association between pets and pet owners are leading to acknowledging the pets' need for pampering and buying appropriate pet products has increased the growth of the pet hair care industry. The pet shampoo has become an essential product to maintain the pet’s hygiene and to increase the shine and brightness of their coat. Proper grooming and care schedule is followed to prevent the health issues that arise due to fleas, ticks, and dry patches or the issues related to the teeth, nails, eyes, and ears such as infection or inflammation. Over the past few years, pet owners are more willing to spend more on premium products for their pets. This factor has led to an increase in research and development to introduce innovative pet care products to serve the pets' needs better, for instance now there is an availability of a wide range of fragrances that includes lavender, orange, vanilla, among others. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of awareness among pet owners regarding specific products that are restricting the growth of the pet hair care market globally.
