The global CBD pet market size was accounted for USD 27.7 million in 2019. It is also projected to witness a 40.3% CAGR over the forecasted period, 2020 to 2027. Rising awareness about the consumption of cannabis prevailing among pet owners and shifting trend towards natural pet supplements is expected to drive the market growth.
These CBD products help in fixing the mental and physical issues of pets. The CBD treatment also helps in the treatment of diseases like anxiety, sleep disorder, epilepsy, and cancer. Moreover, the rising number of anxiety disorder cases among dogs is also considered as the major factor driving the demand for such products.
The cannabidiol pet market is unregulated which is permitting new entrants to enter the global market. Thus, the FDA has also set up regulatory measures for defining CBD products that can be used to prevent and diagnose diseases in animals. Moreover, the legalization of CBD across Europe is also projected to bode market growth.
The food-grade segment held the highest share of more than 60.0% across the global market in 2019. This can be associated with the rising spending on pet food by the owners. Further, increasing the acceptability of pet food products like chews and treats is also projected to trigger market growth.
The therapeutic grade product segment is also projected to gain significant growth from 2020 to 2027. This can be associated with the rising adoption of CBD oils for the treatment of pain and inflammation. As this oil is free from hazardous ingredients like THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), it does not have adverse effects on the pets’ nervous system, which is projected to propel its market demand in the upcoming years.
In 2019, the application segment of general health/ wellness accounted for the largest share of 23.8% across the global market. The surging expenditure on pet healthcare and increasing concerns regarding pets among their owners are estimated to augment the demand for this segment.
The segment of joint pain also accounted for a significant share of more than 23.6% across the global CBD pet market in 2019. The rising number of joint-pain cases among pets owing to immobility and obesity is projected to boost the market growth. For example, a study by APPA (American Pet Products Association) in 2019 stated that 1 in 4 dogs across the U.S. is suffering from arthritis. Moreover, as this oil is helpful for the treatment of problems associated with the joints, the market is expected to significant momentum in the upcoming years.
In 2019, the e-commerce end-user segment accounted for the largest share of more than 40.0% across the global market. This can be attributed to the ease in the availability of several CBD products on e-commerce platforms like Alibaba and Amazon. Also, the fact that the reduction in the number of complications associated with prescription is projected to propel the market growth.
Also, additional features of the e-commerce segment such as hassle fee instant delivery, quick replacement facility, and availability of a wide range of product portfolios on a single platform for comparison are expected to augment the market growth. Moreover, the surging penetration of the internet and smartphones across remote locations is further expected to fuel up the demand for CBD pets.
North America accounted for a dominant share of more than 35.0% across the global market in 2019. This can be associated with the imposition of favorable initiatives by governing authorities and the surging presence of key players like Fomo Bone, Canna-Pet, and HempMy Pet across countries like the U.S. and Canada.
In 2019, Europe is also projected to account for a substantial share across the global market. The legalization of CBD and the increasing pet population is expected to propel market growth across this region. For example, the industry report published by the European Pet Food Industry stated that around 21.0 USD Billion was spent in 2019 by the Europeans on their pets. Moreover, the surging adoption of CBD for therapeutic and food-grade purposes is anticipated to trigger market growth.
The global cannabidiol (CBD) pet market is witnessing substantial growth due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This can be attributed to increasing awareness about the health of domestic animals as they can also act as virus-spreaders. Also, the need for protecting animals from diseases and viruses is expected to augment market growth. Moreover, favorable initiatives undertaken by the governing authorities for the promotion of health awareness and increasing expenditure across the health sector are projected to propel the demand for CBD pets over the post-pandemic period.
The global market includes key players such as General Mills Inc., Nestle, Mars Inc., Canna-Pet, Pet Relief, Honest Paws, Fomo Bones, CBD Living, Pet stock, Petco, and Charlotte’s Web. Constant product development and innovation to improve the taste of animal food are being undertaken by the key players for widening the geographical reach.
Several strategies like acquisitions, collaborations, and product launches are being implemented by the players for widening their product portfolio. For example, Martha Stewart had collaborated with Canopy Growth for launching a wide variety of CBD-infused food products for animals.
