Pet Monitoring Camera Market Overview
The increasing pet ownership rate among the millennials in developing countries, surging consumer purchasing power, increasing demand for reducing depression and anxiety, and growing awareness toward pet health and care are some of the major factors driving the growth of the global pet monitoring camera market.
Pet monitoring cameras are used for monitoring the activity of a pet, which includes house pets, aquarium animals, birds, small pets, herptiles, and outdoor pets, so an owner can watch their pets at home from a distance. Owners usually install these cameras to take care or help their pets, in case of any accident. Further, they can use these devices to monitor their pets at day care centers and check if the caretaker is properly addressing the needs of the animals.
One-way video functionality cameras held the larger share in the pet monitoring camera market in 2019 and are expected to remain at the top in the forecast period (2020–2030). This can be attributed to the low cost of these products, thereby making it cheaper for customers to monitor their pets. In addition to this, these devices provide live high-definition (HD) video streaming, directly on customers’ computers/laptops or phones. The owners find it entertaining to watch their pets play, which helps relieve stress and anxiety. Further, market players are adding more functionalities to the cameras, such as laser tracking, treat dispenser, and ringtones, to increase their attractiveness.
Two-way video functionality cameras are witnessing a swift increase in their pet monitoring camera market share, year-on-year (Y-o-Y), which is why this category is expected to register higher growth rate, as compared to one-way video functionality cameras, during the forecast period. With the help of two-way video functionality cameras, owners can live stream the videos of their pets. Pet owners are increasingly preferring these products, as they can provide more comfort to the pets.
Based on distribution channel, the offline channel category held the larger revenue share, in the pet monitoring camera market, of over 80.0%, in 2019, and it is expected to witness a significant CAGR in the forecast period. The primary factor driving the growth of this category is the increasing availability of these systems in supermarkets and hypermarkets. Apart from this, pet owners prefer to check the camera at the store, first, to be assured of the video quality and get a more-personalized experience.
Online channels, however, are expected to register the faster growth rate, in the pet monitoring camera market, during the forecast period, owing to the expanding e-commerce industry, globally. It is expected that consumers would move toward online sales channel to compare different cameras and choose what is best for them. Apart from this, owing to the increasing targeted advertisements, the sales of pet monitoring cameras are increasing, and those via e-commerce platforms are expected to surpass the offline channel during forecast period.
North America held the largest revenue share in the pet monitoring camera market in 2019. The region, particularly the U.S., has a high number of house pets when compared to other countries, globally. In 2018, in the U.S. alone, there were over 136 million households owning a pet, including birds, cats, dogs, horses, freshwater fish, saltwater fish, reptiles, and other small animals. Further, the country has one of the highest per capita income, owing to which the spending on pets is quite high. Owing to these factors, the demand for pet monitoring cameras is high in North America.
