Smart Cat Houses Booming in the Care Market

In recent years, the global pet cat care market has shown remarkable growth, driven by the increasing demand for cats as beloved companions and family members. As cats become more integrated into family life, the cat care market has expanded significantly. With growing interest in smarter, more efficient ways to care for pets, the future of cat care looks increasingly promising. In this article, we explore the latest market insights from major regions like the U.S., Europe, and emerging markets, and introduce how SPH’s innovative, highly interactive, and safe Smart Cat House is aligning with these trends.

Europe: Leading in Cat Ownership and Pet Care

Cats have long been a favorite pet in Europe. According to the European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF), the number of pet cats in European households reached 127 million in 2022, with 26% of households owning a cat. However, pet ownership statistics vary when adjusted for population size. While larger countries naturally have more pets, countries like Hungary have a higher per capita pet ownership rate.

Key statistics from the FEDIAF report show:

• Russia leads Europe in total pet cat numbers with 23.15 million cats.
• Germany and France follow with 15.2 million and 14.9 million cats, respectively.
• Pet food market growth: The European pet food market grew to 29.1 billion euros in 2022, with an annual growth rate of 5.1% over the past three years.

Europe’s pet care industry is booming, which presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in pet products, including innovative cat care solutions.

U.S.: Growing Popularity of Cats, Particularly Kittens

Although dogs remain the most popular pets in the U.S., the number of pet cats continues to rise steadily. According to MRI-Simmons data, the number of households with kittens has increased from approximately 3.1 million in 2014 to around 3.9 million in 2023. Meanwhile, the number of households with puppies has decreased, making kittens the new favorite pet for many.

Some key trends include:

• Cat vs. dog ownership: The ratio of households with kittens to those with puppies has grown from 54% to 89% over the past decade.
• Urbanization impact: Cats are more adaptable to urban living, making them a popular choice in highly urbanized areas, especially in cities where space is limited.

The ongoing urbanization in the U.S. and other regions has made cats a more attractive choice for pet owners, contributing to the growing demand for cat care products and services.

03 Emerging Markets: Five Key Regions on the Rise

While the U.S. and Europe have mature pet markets, several emerging markets are rapidly growing in the cat care sector. According to a MarketsandMarkets report, countries such as China, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and India are experiencing significant increases in cat ownership and care market potential.

Key emerging markets for cat care:

• China: The leader in the emerging markets, with a market value of $5.8 billion in 2022, expected to grow to $13.39 billion by 2027.
• Brazil: Second in market size, reaching $884.4 million in 2022, projected to grow to $1.11 billion by 2027.
• Mexico: The cat care market in Mexico was valued at $545.7 million in 2022, with growth expected to $680.5 million by 2027.
• South Africa: As disposable income rises, the demand for high-quality cat food and accessories is increasing.
• India: Urbanization and a growing middle class are fueling the rise in cat ownership in India.

These regions are contributing significantly to global cat care market growth, with an annual compound growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7% projected from 2022 to 2027.
