The global pet apparel market is set for substantial growth, with the market size projected to reach USD 8,738 million by 2033, up from USD 5,115.5 million in 2023, according to newly released data by Future Market Insights (FMI). This marks a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.5% from 2023 to 2033.

The FMI report highlights that the demand for pet apparel is on the rise, driven by a combination of factors such as growing pet ownership, rising disposable incomes, and a rising trend of dressing pets in stylish and functional apparel. In particular, pet clothing such as jackets, sweaters, raincoats, and festive outfits are becoming increasingly popular, catering to both functional needs and aesthetic preferences.

Key Drivers of Market Growth

  • Rising Pet Ownership and Spending: The increasing number of pet owners worldwide, particularly in markets like the U.S. and India, is a significant factor contributing to the growth of the pet apparel market. Pet owners are now investing more in premium apparel to enhance the comfort, style, and social status of their pets.
  • Shift Toward Sustainable Apparel: An emerging trend in the pet apparel market is the growing preference for sustainable, eco-friendly materials. Pet owners are increasingly opting for apparel made from recycled or plant-based fabrics such as cotton, hemp, and other sustainable options. This shift towards environmentally conscious choices is expected to further boost market demand.
  • Rise in Seasonal and Special Occasion Apparel: Pet apparel designed for special occasions, holidays, and festive events—such as Santa suits for dogs or Halloween costumes—is becoming a strong segment in the market. With more pet owners celebrating holidays with their pets, demand for festive attire is on the rise.
  • Online Retailing Surge: The growing trend of online shopping has significantly impacted the pet apparel market. In 2022, online retailing dominated sales, with a projected CAGR of 6.0%. Pet owners are increasingly turning to e-commerce for a broader variety of options and convenience in purchasing pet apparel.

Category and Pet Insights

  • Shirts & Tops: The shirts and tops category is expected to drive market sales, due to the rising demand for comfortable and stylish apparel that helps alleviate anxiety in pets, particularly around loud noises like fireworks or thunderstorms.
  • Dogs: Dogs continue to dominate the pet apparel segment, with a significant market share. This is largely attributed to the increasing spending on dog-related products and the growing availability of trendy dog apparel from major brands.
  • Online Retailing: E-commerce platforms are projected to continue their strong growth in the market, providing pet owners with greater convenience and a broader range of options compared to traditional brick-and-mortar stores.

Regional Insights

  • United States: The U.S. pet apparel market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.0%, driven by high pet ownership and the popularity of promotional campaigns and stylish pet clothing.
  • India: India’s pet apparel market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.0%, fueled by rising pet ownership, particularly dogs, and the growing demand for pet fashion.

Competitive Landscape

Leading players in the global pet apparel market are focusing on expansion, strategic partnerships, product development, and new product launches to drive business growth worldwide.

For instance:

  • In 2021, Major Dog Clothing launched its first Australian-made and designed collection of canine apparel to support local jobs and transparent manufacturing.
  • On June 21, 2022, Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Kanine Pets World Limited, a branch of Kanine Group, agreed to a three-year license agreement for dog apparel and accessories throughout greater Asia.
