A smart pet camera is a gadget enabling pet owners to remotely observe their pets using a camera, along with additional functionalities such as two-way audio, treat dispensing, and motion detection. These cameras are manageable via a mobile app, enabling pet owners to monitor and engage with the pets from any location with internet access.
The main product types of smart pet cameras are one-way video functionality, two-way video, and audio functionality. One-way video functionality typically refers to a feature or capability in a system or platform where only one party can transmit video, while the other party can only receive or view the video stream, its price ranges include low, medium, and premium, it distributes through offline, and online, and it used for communication, monitoring, treat-dispersing, remote training, video and photo capture, real-time bark alert.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The smart pet camera market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.73 billion in 2024 to $3.12 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing demand for other exotic or specialty pets, rising awareness about pet health and safety, availability of smart pet cameras with features like live HD video streaming, surging demand for multi-functionality monitoring devices, and availability of cost-effective pet cameras.
The smart pet camera market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.57 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing pet ownership, particularly among millennials, rising use of monitoring pets' activities on smartphones and laptops, integration with smart homes and IoT devices, growing popularity of multifunctional cameras, demand for monitoring and communication devices. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in technology, manufacturers investing in design and development of more advanced pet cameras, integration of advanced technologies, incorporation of advanced features such as cloud storage options, and pet cameras offering two-way video functionality.
The forecast of 15.6% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Smart pet camera manufacturing could be impacted by tariffs on imported lenses, motion sensors, and embedded processors, resulting in higher product costs and potential shipment delays. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rise in pet ownership is projected to drive the growth of the smart pet camera market. As more people seek companionship and emotional support through pet ownership, the demand for technologies that enhance pet care is increasing. Smart pet cameras allow owners to monitor and interact with their pets remotely, providing reassurance and promoting pets' well-being. For example, according to the World Animal Foundation, as of August 2024, approximately 17.2 million households in the UK (60% of total households) own one of the 36 million pets nationwide. This growing trend in pet ownership emphasizes the need for convenient and interactive tools like smart pet cameras, fueling market growth as owners look for solutions to stay connected with their pets when away from home.
Major companies operating in the smart pet camera market are developing innovative products, such as C6 cameras, to gain a competitive edge in the market. The EZVIZ C6 camera offers features such as 2K+ resolution, AI-powered human and pet detection, auto-zoom tracking, and two-way calling, and is used for home security and monitoring. For instance, in March 2022, EZVIZ Inc., a US-based smart home technology company, launched the C6 camera, a new AI camera that is designed to ease the anxiety of parents and pet owners. The C6 is boosted by artificial intelligence and alerts users upon detecting various events, including people walking by, jumping animals, and sudden loud noises. They can receive calls from the kids or talk to a lonely pet to comfort it, get emergency notifications, and re-live any missed moments saved on the camera.
