The global pet ID microchips market has been gaining significant traction over the past few years. Pet ID microchips provide a convenient way to uniquely identify pets by implanted microchips under the pet's skin. When scanned with a compatible scanner, these microchips provide access to important information such as the pet's name, owner's contact details, medical history and more. This has helped in reducing the risk of pets getting lost and makes it easier for owners to be reunited with their pets. Factors such as increasing pet adoption rates around the world, growing awareness about pet identification and stringent rules regarding pet identification in several countries are expected to drive strong demand for pet ID microchips in the coming years.
Market Dynamics:
The global pet ID microchips market is primarily driven by factors such as rising pet adoption, growing awareness about pet identification and stringent regulations regarding pet registration and identification in various countries. Pet adoption has increased substantially over the past decade owing to changing lifestyles and growing loneliness, especially in urban households. This has augmented the demand for reliable pet identification solutions such as microchips. Furthermore, increasing instances of lost pets that are later found due to microchips have increased awareness about the technology among pet owners and professionals. Several animal welfare organizations also promote microchipping. Stringent rules in countries like the US and UK require pets to have some form of permanent identification like microchips. This is expected to fuel mandatory adoption. However, high costs of microchips compared to collars and tags as well as reluctance from certain pet owners continue to restrain the market growth. Meanwhile, ongoing technological advancements to develop more user-friendly and affordable microchips present significant opportunities for market players.
