Market Overview

The Global Pet Travel Accessories Market, valued at USD 5.39 Billion in 2024, is projected to experience a CAGR of 6.10% to reach USD 7.69 Billion by 2030. The global pet travel accessories market encompasses a diverse range of products designed to ensure the safety, comfort, and convenience of pets during transit, including carriers, crates, car seats, harnesses, and portable feeding solutions. Key market drivers include the accelerating trend of pet humanization, where animals are increasingly regarded as family members, prompting greater consumer investment in their well-being. Additionally, rising global pet ownership rates and increasing disposable incomes enable owners to purchase specialized travel products. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), U. S. pet owners spent $32 billion on supplies, live animals, and over-the-counter medicine in 2023, with expenditures projected to reach $33.3 billion in 2024, indicative of the substantial accessory segment within a major regional market.

A significant challenge impeding global market expansion involves the varied and often stringent international regulations pertaining to pet travel, which can complicate logistics and limit travel options for pet owners. These regulatory complexities necessitate constant adaptation from manufacturers and can deter potential consumers from traveling with their pets.

Key Market Drivers

A primary driver for the Global Pet Travel Accessories Market is the rising pet humanization and integration of animals into family life. This profound shift in perception sees pets increasingly regarded as integral family members, necessitating elevated standards of care, comfort, and safety across all aspects of their lives, including travel. Owners are willing to invest significantly in products that enhance their pets' well-being during transit. For instance, according to the Human-Animal Bond Research Institute, in April 2024, in 'The Pet Industry Is Doing Great. And Getting Worse. ' published by Forbes, 98% of pet owners consider their pet an important part of their family. This strong emotional bond directly translates into purchasing decisions for travel accessories, such as orthopedic carriers and specialized travel harnesses.

Concurrently, the growing trend of pet-inclusive travel and tourism profoundly influences market expansion. As more hospitality and transportation sectors accommodate pets, the demand for accompanying travel accessories naturally escalates. Pet owners increasingly seek experiences where their companions can join them, driving the need for products that facilitate seamless journeys. According to Blossom House data, in June 2025, in its '2025 Pet Travel and Vacation Insights Report', the number of pet-friendly hotels in the country is projected to increase by nearly 30% compared to 2024. This demonstrates the expanding infrastructure supporting pet travel, further fueling the market for carriers, portable feeding systems, and vehicle restraints. The expanding global pet population also underpins this market growth. According to the World Animal Foundation, in July 2024, there are 900 million pet dogs and approximately 370 million pet cats worldwide, representing a substantial consumer base for pet travel accessories.

Key Market Challenges

The varied and often stringent international regulations pertaining to pet travel represent a significant impediment to the expansion of the global pet travel accessories market. These complex rules, which differ significantly across countries and regions, complicate logistics for both manufacturers and pet owners. Manufacturers face continuous adaptation requirements to ensure products comply with diverse safety and import standards, potentially increasing production costs and limiting product standardization across markets.

The regulatory complexities directly hinder market growth by deterring pet owners from international travel with their companions, thereby reducing the demand for specialized travel products. For instance, according to the European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF), the European pet food industry, a key indicator of the broader pet care market, reached a value of €29.3 billion (approximately $33.7 billion USD) in 2023. While representing a substantial market, the underlying growth in travel accessories within such regions is constrained by the additional effort and potential legal complications pet owners encounter when planning cross-border journeys, ultimately limiting their investment in travel-specific items.

Key Market Trends

The integration of smart technology into pet travel gear is a significant trend, driven by owners seeking advanced solutions for pet safety and well-being during transit. This extends beyond basic tracking to sophisticated monitoring capabilities. According to the American Pet Products Association, in October 2024, over 1,000 new products were launched at the Global Pet Expo in the U. S. , reflecting a dynamic environment for product innovation. This trend is further exemplified by Tractive's acquisition of Whistle from Mars Petcare in July 2025, bringing innovations such as resting heart rate and respiratory rate monitoring to a broader user base within pet GPS and health tracking. Such advancements offer pet parents greater peace of mind, fostering increased investment in intelligent carriers and connected health monitors.

The growing adoption of sustainable and eco-friendly materials in pet travel accessories is another critical trend, propelled by heightened environmental awareness among consumers. Pet owners increasingly prioritize products minimizing ecological impact, influencing manufacturing and material selection. According to the Pet Sustainability Coalition, in March 2023, 80% of young US adults aged 18-34 expressed willingness to pay more for sustainable products, representing a key demographic. This preference influences manufacturers to integrate recycled content and natural fibers. The Pet Sustainability Coalition also reported in May 2025 that member companies achieved notable sustainability improvements, including a 32% carbon emissions reduction. This shift drives innovation in recyclable plastics and biodegradable fabrics for travel items, aligning with evolving consumer values.

Segmental Insights

The Online segment is emerging as the fastest-growing within the Global Pet Travel Accessories Market, primarily driven by the unparalleled convenience and extensive product accessibility it offers to consumers. Pet owners increasingly leverage e-commerce platforms to browse a diverse array of products, easily compare features and pricing, and consult detailed customer reviews before making informed purchasing decisions. This digital advantage caters to the rising trend of pet humanization, where pets are considered integral family members, prompting owners to invest in specialized travel accessories that ensure safety and comfort. Online channels further facilitate access to innovative and specialized items, often exceeding the inventory of traditional retail stores.

Regional Insights

North America leads the global pet travel accessories market, primarily driven by a robust pet humanization trend where pets are increasingly regarded as family members, thus prompting significant spending on their comfort and safety during travel. The region benefits from high pet ownership rates and substantial disposable income among consumers, who are willing to invest in premium and innovative pet travel solutions. Furthermore, a well-established pet care industry, coupled with growing awareness of pet safety during transit and the presence of regulatory considerations, such as those impacting airline-approved carriers, further underpins North America's market dominance.

Recent Developments

In January 2025, Sleepypod, a company known for innovative pet products, introduced the Clickit Range Car Safety Harness. This new product was specifically developed to enhance the safety of sighthounds during vehicle journeys, addressing a niche yet important segment within pet travel accessories. The harness underwent comprehensive crash testing, underscoring the company's dedication to robust safety standards for pets in transit. This launch broadens Sleepypod's specialized offerings, catering to diverse pet needs and reinforcing the importance of secure in-car restraint systems for traveling companions.

In January 2025, Sleepypod launched the Oops Tray, an accessory designed to render Sleepypod pet carriers leakproof. This new product directly addresses a common functional concern for pet owners regarding cleanliness and containment during travel, particularly in unforeseen situations. The integration of the Oops Tray enhances the practicality and hygienic aspects of their existing carrier line, thereby improving the overall pet travel experience. This innovation highlights an ongoing commitment to refining product utility within the global pet travel accessories market.

In 2024, Kurgo introduced the Nomad Carrier Backpack, expanding its collection of pet travel accessories. This carrier backpack features a compact and aesthetically pleasing design, making it suitable for shorter trips and daily excursions with smaller pets. It integrates functionalities consistent with Kurgo's established carriers, such as a built-in tablet sleeve, prioritizing portability and convenience for pet owners on the move. The introduction of this product aligns with the market trend towards offering versatile and user-friendly solutions for pets accompanying their owners in various travel scenarios.

In 2024, Kurgo released the Cascade Harness, an addition to its active pet gear range aimed at outdoor enthusiasts. This innovative harness incorporates several pockets, including dedicated spaces for pet essentials and a dispenser for waste bags. It maintains the adjustable and comfortable fit characteristic of Kurgo harnesses, featuring two leash attachment points, padded chest and belly sections, and four adjustment points. A perforated foam back plate enhances breathability, thereby improving both the safety and practical utility for pets during travel and outdoor activities.
