簡介目錄

2023年動物助行器市值為9億美元，預計2024年至2033年複合年成長率為5.7%，到2033年達到15億美元。

動物助行器是為動物福利而設計的工具、設備和服務。它們的範圍從義肢和輪椅等醫療輔助器具到訓練設備和豐富玩具等行為輔助器具。動物助行器還涵蓋獸醫服務和治療，透過確保動物獲得護理和支持來促進動物福利。

全球動物助行器市場的成長是由於寵物主人數量的增加、社會意識的增強以及對動物福利的關注而推動的。根據美國商業雜誌《富比士顧問》2024年的統計，美國約有8,690萬個家庭擁有寵物。隨著寵物擁有量的增加，對動物照護產品和服務的需求預計將同步增加，從而推動動物助行器市場的成長。此外，隨著寵物壽命的延長和可支配收入的迅速增加，寵物飼主在寵物的健康和福祉上花費更多，從而推動了醫療輔助器具。此外，穿戴式科技和智慧餵食系統的普及也為市場成長做出了重大貢獻。例如，GPS追蹤器和健康監測器等設備用於追蹤寵物的日常活動。此外，寵物飼主擴大轉向可透過智慧型手機應用程式控制的自動餵食器和飲水器，以提供便利性並確保寵物即使在外出時也能按時餵食和補水，這就是我正在努力做的事情。然而，與先進的動物助行器和獸醫治療相關的高成本以及缺乏接受過高級動物助行器的使用和處方培訓的獸醫專業人員嚴重阻礙了市場的成長。相反，促進動物健康和福利的政府支持政策預計將為預測期內全球市場擴張提供有利機會。例如，世界動物衛生組織（WOAH）旨在透過加強獸醫服務能力來改善全世界動物的健康和福祉。此外，遠端寵物監控服務的日益普及預計將為未來幾年的市場成長開闢新的途徑。

全球動物助行器市場按產品類型、動物類型、最終用戶和地區細分。依產品類型分為藥品、營養食品、診斷產品、手術設備和創傷護理產品。依動物種類分為伴同性動物、家畜動物和野生動物。依最終用戶分類，可分為獸醫院和診所、動物收容所和救援中心、農場和牧場以及寵物飼主。從區域來看，分析涵蓋北美、歐洲、亞太地區和拉丁美洲/中東/非洲。

簡介目錄
Product Code: A324362

The animal aids market was valued at $0.9 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $1.5 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2024 to 2033.

Animal aids are tools, devices, and services designed for the well-being of animals. These can range from medical aids like prosthetics and wheelchairs to behavioral aids such as training tools and enrichment toys. Veterinary services and therapeutic treatments are also covered under animal aids, which ensure that animals receive the care and support, thus promoting animal welfare.

The growth of the global animal aids market is driven by rise in pet ownership and increase in public awareness and concern for the well-being of animals. According to the 2024 statistics determined by Forbes Advisor-a U.S.-based business magazine-approximately 86.9 million homes in the U.S. own a pet. With increasing adoption of pets, the demand for animal care products and services is expected to rise simultaneously, thereby fostering the growth of the animal aids market. Furthermore, increase in lifespan of pets and surge in disposable income encourage pet owners to spend more on their pets' health and well-being, thus boosting the sale of medical and supportive aids. Moreover, increase in penetration of wearable technology and smart feeding systems notably contributes toward the growth of the market. For instance, devices such as GPS trackers and health monitors are being used to track the daily activities for pets. In addition, pet owners are increasingly turning to automated feeders and water dispensers that can be controlled via smartphone apps, providing convenience and ensuring their pets are fed and hydrated on schedule even when they are not home. However, high costs associated with advanced animal aids and veterinary treatments and dearth of veterinary professionals trained in using and prescribing advanced animal aids significantly restrain the growth of the market. On the contrary, supportive government policies promoting animal health and welfare are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the expansion of the global market during the forecast period. For instance, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) aims to improve global animal health and welfare by enhancing the capacity of veterinary services. Furthermore, increase in penetration of remote monitoring services for pets is expected to open new avenues for the market growth in the coming years.

The global animal aids market is segmented into product type, animal type, end user, and region. On the basis of product type, the market is divided into medicinal products, nutritional supplements, diagnostic products, surgical equipment, and wound care products.
