The pet toys market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.04 billion in 2023 to $3.28 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The expansion witnessed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors. These include the rising demand for private labels in the pet industry, the increasing popularity of pet subscription boxes, a growing interest in pet ownership among consumers, the rising adoption rates of pets, and an increasing preference for eco-friendly and sustainable pet toys among environmentally-conscious consumers.

The pet toys market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.42 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by several factors. These include the increasing demand among millennials and young children for pet-related products, the growing popularity of pet ownership leading to expanded product demand, a rising interest in pet subscription boxes, a growing focus on pet humanization, and the introduction of new and creative eco-friendly pet accessories and toys. Additionally, the increasing number of pet owners worldwide contributes to market growth.

The burgeoning trend of pet ownership is anticipated to drive significant growth within the pet toy market in the coming years. Pet ownership, characterized by the companionship and emotional support provided by domesticated animals, is on the rise due to shifting social norms, increased awareness of the benefits of pet companionship, and the influence of social media. Pet toys play a crucial role in keeping pets active and engaged, promoting physical fitness, and fostering a strong bond between pets and their owners. Data from the American Pet Products Association in 2023 revealed a substantial increase in U.S. households with pets, indicating a growing demand for pet-related products. Similarly, findings from a national survey by Animal Medicines Australia in November 2022 highlighted the prevalence of pet ownership in Australian households, particularly among dog owners, underscoring the significance of the pet toy market's expansion.

Key players in the pet toy market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as interactive smart pet toys, to cater to the evolving needs of pet owners and enhance market revenues. Interactive smart pet toys leverage technology to engage and entertain pets through various interactive features, promoting mental stimulation and physical activity. For instance, Shenzhen Skymee Technology Co., Ltd. introduced the SKYMEE Owl Robot in March 2021, equipped with a camera, treat dispenser, and communication capabilities to enable remote interaction between pet owners and their pets. This innovative pet toy enhances the pet ownership experience by allowing owners to monitor and engage with their pets remotely, even when they are away from home.

In September 2021, Platinum Equity LLC acquired Cosmic Pet, bolstering its position in the pet industry and creating a platform with a comprehensive range of pet products.
