Synthèse
The global pet market, valued at $280 billion in 2022, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7% from 2023 to 2032. In France, as part of this market, there is a strong trend toward humanization and premiumization of pet products, with owners increasingly viewing their pets as family members. This shift is seen in the demand for specialized, high-quality goods and services, particularly in food, insurance, hygiene, and care segments. The dog and cat market segments dominate with significant growth, and new technology-oriented start-ups are burgeoning, such as pet tech which is estimated to reach $5 billion by 2022 with a CAGR of 15% from 2023 to 2032. The French market showed a 7% increase in sales from 2021 to 2022, and pet shops and online channels are becoming more popular distribution methods, as evidenced by a 24% growth in pet shop sales and 11% via the Internet.
Key industry players, like Mars Petcare and Nestlé Purina, maintain a strong presence, with specialty areas in dog and cat foods respectively. Notably, France maintains a significant pet population with 74 million pets in 2022, showing continued stability in dog numbers and a steady increase in cat ownership, further influenced by factors such as living space and lifestyle.
The Humanization and Premiumization of Pet Ownership in France
The French market demonstrates a growing affinity for pets with a noticeable humanization of these animal companions, paralleling a demand for premium offers. Reflecting their heightened status within households, pets, especially dogs and cats, dominate the market, together accounting for a striking majority of the pet industry. New types of pets, including a variety of species such as rodents, birds, fish, and even non-traditional domestic animals, are gaining traction, demonstrating broadening consumer interests within the market.
Key figures from the industry showcase significant growth, with sales climbing about 7% in the span of a year, indicating a healthy and expanding marketplace. Of particular note, the pet food sector outshines other categories, taking the lion's share of the market. Other consumable areas, namely hygiene, health, and accessories, also present numerous opportunities for growth and innovation.
The pet tech market is another burgeoning segment, reflecting the desire for connected experiences in pet care, with smart collars and GPS trackers reflecting this industry’s strongest demand, in part fueling this market segment's worth of approximately $5 billion globally, with a potential growth rate of about 15% annually over the next decade.
French pet ownership is driven by a range of motives, from emotional connections to practical considerations. The leading reasons for adopting pets include growing up in the company of animals, the sentiment of family incompleteness without a pet's presence, and the desire to provide a home for abandoned animals. Interestingly, social factors like combating loneliness or fostering connections also play into the dynamic of pet acquisition.
The consumer base is also diverse, with pet ownership slightly less common among the elderly and the wealthy, while rural and provincial urban areas show a higher likelihood of pet ownership, potentially attributable to larger living spaces conducive to pet habitats like gardens.
Despite an overall unwavering number of dogs, the cat population has seen substantial growth over the years, suggesting a shift in preference toward feline companions, particularly in urban settings where cats’ independent nature and lower maintenance align with compact living environments and fast-paced lifestyles.
Market distribution channels reflect a strong representation through supermarkets, garden centers, and, increasingly, the internet. The latter poses significant competition to traditional outlets as consumers embrace the convenience and breadth of online shopping. Pet shops and specialized retail chains, although not yet predominant, are showing robust growth, both in number and in year-over-year sales, indicating a growing consumer preference for specialized pet care and products.

1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of study
A pet is an animal kept or intended to be kept by man for his pleasure. [Code Rural]
Companion animals are divided into 8 families: cats, dogs, fish, farmed birds, farmyard animals, small mammals, aquatic animals and terrarium animals. The scope of this study therefore excludes farm animals and any animal intended for professional use.
The market is largely dominated by the dog and cat segments, which account for the vast majority of the market, but the category of "new pets" is developing. This term refers to pets other than dogs and cats, and therefore encompasses a wide range of animal species. While some are relatively widespread, such as rodents, birds and fish, others are less common, notably animals that were originally non-domestic. [Ministry of Agriculture and Food]
The pet market can be broken down into 4 consumption categories:
- live
