Russia's pet care market has been expanding rapidly recently, thanks to a number of factors. The rising acceptance of pet ownership in Russia is a significant contributing element. The Russian Pet Industry Association estimates that 35 million Russians owned pets in 2020, with dogs and cats being the most common breeds. The demand for pet-related goods and services, such as pet food, grooming, healthcare, and other services, has expanded as a result of the rising pet population. The rising levels of disposable income among many Russian consumers are another factor promoting the development of the pet care sector in that country. Russians are more likely to spend money on pet-related goods and services as more of them are able to afford to own pets.

Demand for higher-quality pet goods and services has also been fueled by Russia's expanding middle class. As pets are regarded as family members, many people have made significant investments in pet care items such as accessories, pet health, pet fashion, and so on. This is even more prevalent among the millennial generation in both developing and developed countries around the world. Along with this, the rise in middle-income households and rising disposable incomes have increased pet owners' willingness to spend money on high-quality pet supplies. As a result, one of the factors driving the market expansion for pet care goods is the growing interest in pet humanization, combined with an increase in demand for premiumization in pet care products.According to the report titled “ Russia pet care Market Research Report, 2027” published by Actual Market Research, the Russia pet care market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The Russian pet care business is expanding as a result of the application of technology.

Smart pet feeders, GPS pet trackers, and pet healthcare applications are just a few examples of innovative goods and services being developed using technology that assists pet owners in better caring for their animals and maintaining contact with them even while they are away from home. Russia is a nation of cats. The number of cats is almost two times that of dogs. Additionally, there is a tendency for the number of cat-owning families to rise. The remaining third of the 40.8 million domestic cats reside in rural areas. Of all cats, purebred cats make up 26% of the population.

The British Shorthair, Siamese, Scottish Fold, Siberian, and Maine Coon breeds are the most well-liked varieties. Dogs make up 56% of the population of cities, which is more than half. In contrast, every second family in rural areas and every fourth in metropolitan areas owns a dog. The German Shepherd, Yorkshire Terrier, Chihuahua, Toy Terrier, and Central Asian Shepherd are the most common breeds in Russia. Pet care is anticipated to experience favorable retail volume growth from 2017 to 2021. The expected economic recovery will probably enable Russian consumers' discretionary incomes and increase in the number of dogs and cats. Due to its lower volume base than cat food, a slightly stronger volume rise is anticipated for dog food.

Along with the anticipated GDP recovery, the sluggish retail volume sales of various pet supplies and premium dog and cat food that were seen during the review period are predicted to rebound. pet care is expected to develop into a more mature and stable industry.The absence of regulations in Russia's pet care sector is one issue. Pet care firms are not required to obtain a license or meet any minimum standards, which might result in a lack of consistency in the industry's quality and safety standards. Another issue is that some Russian pet owners are unaware of and uneducated about proper pet care. This may result in bad nutrition, little exercise, and subpar veterinary treatment for the dogs. For some Russian pet owners, especially those with lesser incomes, the high cost of pet care goods and services might be a problem. Lack of access to high-quality pet care goods and services may result from this, which may have an adverse effect on the health and happiness of pets.

Dry pet food, which many pet owners prefer, is in high demand in Russia. This is due, in part, to the convenience and long shelf life of dry pet food, which allows owners to store and serve their pets more easily. Premium and high-quality products are increasingly popular in the dry pet food sector. Many pet owners are willing to spend more for high-quality pet food that is devoid of artificial additives or preservatives. Wet pet food, in addition to dry food, is popular in Russia, especially among cats. Cats have a lower thirst drive than dogs and may benefit from the extra moisture in wet food.The future of the Russian pet care market appears bright, with various factors driving growth and innovation in the business.

One prominent trend in Russia is the growing popularity of pet ownership. As more individuals acquire pets, there will most certainly be an increase in demand for pet products and services. Another emerging trend is a greater emphasis on premium and high-quality pet items. Russian pet owners are increasingly willing to spend extra for high-quality ingredients that provide superior nutrition and health benefits for their pets. This trend is likely to stimulate industry innovation, with manufacturers creating new goods to fulfill the needs of discerning pet owners.Considered in this report• Geography: Russia• Historic year: 2017• Base year: 2022• Estimated year: 2023• Forecast year: 2028Aspects covered in this report• Russia Pet Care market with its value and forecast along with its segments• Country-wise Pet Care market analysis• Various drivers and challenges• On-going trends and developments• Top profiled companies• Strategic recommendationBy Segments Type• Pet Food • Pet Accessories • Pet Healthcare • Pet Grooming By Animals Type• Dog Food• Cat Food• Fish Food• Bird Food• Others By Food Type• Dry Food• Wet Or canned• Snaks and treats• OthersThe approach of the report:This report consists of a combined approach of primary as well as secondary research.
