Pet Travel Services Market to Grow with a CAGR of 5.8% through 2030

The global pet travel services market is expanding rapidly, driven by rising pet humanization, increasing relocations, growing tourism demand, premium service innovations, and expanding pet-friendly infrastructure across travel and hospitality sectors.

According to TechSci Research report, “Pet Travel Services Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the global pet travel services market was valued at USD 1.89 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.66 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period.

The global pet travel services market is evolving rapidly, shaped by a mix of strong growth drivers and persistent challenges that together define its trajectory. On one hand, rising urban lifestyles and the growing mobility of professionals and families are fueling the need for structured travel options that accommodate pets seamlessly. The increasing preference for holistic travel solutions, where pets are included in leisure trips, relocations, and even adventure tourism, is pushing service providers to innovate beyond conventional offerings. Partnerships between airlines, hospitality chains, and logistics companies are expanding the ecosystem, creating more comprehensive, end-to-end solutions that assure owners of safety, convenience, and reliability. At the same time, the industry is witnessing a diversification of demand, with owners seeking tailored services not only for common pets like dogs and cats but also for smaller or exotic animals, signaling the market’s broadening scope.

However, this expansion faces notable constraints that temper growth. A lack of standardization in service protocols across providers often leads to inconsistencies in quality, which reduces customer trust and adoption. Similarly, limited awareness in emerging economies continues to hinder penetration, as many pet owners remain unfamiliar with the availability or necessity of specialized travel solutions. Infrastructure gaps, particularly in airports and transport hubs outside developed markets, also add friction, making pet travel less accessible or more stressful. Moreover, the sector must contend with growing scrutiny around animal welfare during long-distance travel, where concerns about stress, injury, or mishandling remain barriers to wider acceptance. These challenges highlight the need for service providers to balance expansion with responsibility, investing not only in innovative and premium offerings but also in transparent communication, ethical practices, and awareness-building to unlock the market’s full potential.

Global Pet Travel Services Market is segmented into pet type, travel type, booking type and region.

Based on booking type, Online Booking is the fastest-growing segment, driven by digitalization, rising internet penetration, and the preference of younger generations for seamless, tech-enabled services. Online booking has quickly become the preferred mode for arranging pet travel services due to its convenience, accessibility, and transparency. Owners increasingly rely on digital platforms and mobile applications to compare prices, view service options, and book tailored packages. Online platforms often integrate regulatory guidance, offering checklists for documentation, vaccination requirements, and airline policies, which streamlines the complex process for users. Moreover, the ability to track pets in real time, access customer support instantly, and review ratings of service providers enhances trust and customer experience. Online booking is also heavily influenced by younger, tech-savvy pet owners who prefer digital-first solutions over traditional offline channels. Additionally, social media and digital marketing campaigns are boosting awareness of online platforms, accelerating adoption further. Due to these factors, online booking is rapidly overtaking offline methods and is the fastest-growing channel in the global pet travel services market.

 Based on region, Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the global pet travel services market, fueled by rising pet adoption rates, expanding middle-class populations, and increasing disposable incomes in countries such as China, India, Japan, and Australia. The cultural shift toward pet humanization, once less pronounced in many Asian societies, is now gaining momentum, with pets increasingly viewed as family members. This is driving demand for professional travel services, particularly as international relocation, tourism, and urbanization rise across the region. While regulatory frameworks are more fragmented compared to Europe or North America, specialized agencies are emerging to bridge this gap and assist owners with compliance. Airlines in Asia-Pacific are also beginning to expand pet-friendly initiatives, though infrastructure development remains uneven. Nonetheless, the rapid pace of pet adoption and urban lifestyle changes make this region the fastest-growing, offering immense opportunities for service providers willing to invest in infrastructure and awareness-building.

“A key trend in the pet travel services market is sustainability and ethical considerations are emerging as key trends influencing the evolution of pet travel services. With increasing awareness about climate change and the environmental footprint of travel, pet owners are beginning to seek greener, more sustainable solutions when transporting their animals. Service providers are responding by offering eco-friendly carriers made from biodegradable materials, reducing single-use plastics in packaging, and investing in carbon-offset initiatives tied to pet travel. Airlines are also adopting more energy-efficient aircraft and designing cargo spaces with improved ventilation and insulation, which not only reduces energy consumption but also improves pet safety.
