Pet Diabetes Care Devices Market

Pet Diabetes Care Devices Market Research, 2031

The global pet diabetes care devices market was valued at $1.9 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $3.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2022 to 2031. Diabetes is more common in older pets. The disease is more manageable if it is detected early and controlled with the help of a veterinarian. Diabetes is suspected on the basis of signs a pet is showing, but the diagnosis is confirmed only by the veterinarian by finding consistent hyperglycemia and glucosuria. Dogs and cats with diabetes usually require lifelong treatment with special diets, a good fitness regimen and daily insulin injections. The key to managing diabetic pets is to keep the pet’s blood sugar near normal levels and avoid too-high or too-low levels that can be life-threatening.

The COVID-19 pandemic witnessed a negative impact on the pet diabetes care devices industry, owing to the disrupted supply chain resulting in global scarcity of animal health items such as glucose meters for dogs, nutritious feed, and vaccinations. However, there was no indication that animals could transmit the virus to humans. This was further impacted by various transport restrictions imposed globally to curb the spread of the pandemic. In addition, the advantages of using advanced devices with other techniques also triggered the demand for the pet diabetes care devices industry.

Historical Overview 

The market has been analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively from 2021 to 2031. The pet diabetes care devices market witnessed growth at a CAGR of around 6.3% during 2022-2031.

The growth of the pet diabetes care devices market is expected to be driven by high potential in developing countries due to increase in the availability of improved healthcare infrastructure, increase in practice to meet unmet veterinary healthcare needs, and surge in demand for pet diabetes care devices.

Furthermore, the healthcare industry in emerging economies is developing at a significant rate, owing to rise in demand for enhanced veterinary care, significant investments by government to improve veterinary healthcare services, and development of the medical devices industry in emerging countries. E-commerce (electronic commerce) has become a vital tool for small and large businesses globally, due to rise in preference of consumers for online shopping over traditional purchasing methods. This is attributed to further support the market growth. The demand for pet diabetes care devices is not only limited to developed countries but is also being witnessed in the developing countries, such as China, Brazil, and India, which fuel the growth of the market. Factors such as rise in adoption of glucose monitoring devices and increase in awareness toward pet diabetes further drive the growth of the market. Furthermore, rise in consumer awareness related to preventive healthcare of pets boosts the adoption of pet diabetes care devices. Moreover, an increase in promotional activities by manufacturers and growth in awareness for glucose monitoring devices among the pet owner population are expected to fuel their adoption in the near future.  

Stringent regulations for the approval of pet diabetes care devices and lack of awareness in developing economies are hampering the Pet Diabetes Care Devices Market Growth. Moreover, the unfavorable regulatory scenarios of the products used for drug delivery are anticipated to hamper the growth of the market. 

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the pet diabetes care devices industry in a negative way, like various other veterinary medical devices industries were affected. The COVID-19 has helped to increase the demand for pet diabetes care devices, healthcare facilities, and personnel, the healthcare systems are likely to meet the increased demand during a pandemic event. However, COVID-19 has disrupted the supply chain, resulting in a global scarcity of animal health items such as glucose meters for dogs, nutritious feed, and vaccinations. Despite this, there is no indication that animals can transmit the virus to humans.   

The infrastructural projects, manufacturing units, industries, and various operations had to be put on hold owing to the pandemic situation. The volatile costs of raw materials and the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic have restricted the growth rate of the market. Moreover, some of the pet care businesses had to close permanently, and some managed to keep afloat despite an entirely unparalleled dent in earnings. Following the initial lockdown, there have been various restrictions and rebounds into lockdowns on both a regional and national level. The animal company operating across the country, have supported their franchisees to try and adapt and leverage income by focusing on dog walking, dog daycare, and gardening services. As per the article published in 2021 under the title “Diabetes among dogs increased by 10-20% during pandemic: Vets”, cases of diabetes in dogs have increased 10-20% during COVID-19. Due to the increased lockdown and restrictions, there was a lack of routine checkups which lead to more cases of diabetes in dogs. Hence COVID-19 had a notable impact in the pet diabetic care market.
