The global pet dental health market size is expected to reach USD 9.98 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.18% from 2022 to 2030. Increasing pet companion ownership, rising demand for pet dental care products, and rising prevalence of pet dental diseases are the major drivers of the market.
The increased prevalence of a variety of oral health-related disorders has been highlighted as a significant driver. According to the American Pet Product Association (APPA), there are 89.7 million pet dogs in the U.S. Every year, pet owners spend an average of USD 49.70 on dental care for their dogs. Furthermore, pet owners' increased knowledge of pet health and an increase in the number of dental operations are driving the market. Periodontal disease is the most common clinical issue in both cats and dogs, and it is usually avoidable by cleaning their teeth. The condition, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), can cause serious health problems ranging from tooth loss to organ damage. According to the AVMA, by the age of three, around 70% of cats and 80% of dogs have some kind of periodontal disease.
The COVID-19 outbreak is having a mixed effect on the pet dental care product industry. Due to the shutdown of vet clinics and specialized salons, the need for pet oral care products has increased. During the lockdown, several online businesses also experienced big sales. Chewy.com gets around 70% of its revenue from subscribers and has seen an increase in revenues since February 2020. As a result of the pandemic, the penetration of online businesses increased.
The market for pet dental care products is fairly concentrated, with major worldwide companies holding a considerable share. Many strategic efforts have been undertaken by the industry's leading players to expand their share. They are focusing on new product releases, mergers and acquisitions, and expansions to reach a larger consumer base. For instance, in June 2020, the new Pedigree Dentastix chewy chunk from Mars Petcare was introduced to stop plaque buildup throughout the day. The company also plans to provide the same product in beef and chicken tastes with a maxi or mini choice for bigger and smaller dogs. For instance, in June 2019, Purina DentaLife introduced ActivFresh daily oral chews to treat bad breath. These chews, created with honey and natural spirulina, have been clinically shown to combat bad breath.
