Market Dynamics
Rising pet ownership trends among urban middle-income population.
The growing number of pets owned by people in the urban middle-income class of the Middle East & Africa fuels the growth of smart pet devices. The development of cities and the pace of modern life are leading many people to rely on technology to oversee, feed, and keep their pets busy whenever they are away. Being aware of pets’ well-being and having extra funds to spend have motivated people to buy GPS trackers, smart feeders, and pet cameras. The trend of seeing pets as family members is leading to increased spending on them. Moreover, having a phone with internet access is now much simpler due to how common smartphones are.
According to Dubai's Statistics Center, as people's daily lives change and their interest in pets grows, the number of urban households owning pets has been rising. Further, pet-related activities and initiatives that heavily promote technology-related measures encourage this. Thanks to new technologies and an increase in the number of people purchasing pet-related goods and services, the number of smart pet devices on the market is likely to grow significantly over the coming years. This illustrates how most civilizations nowadays are focusing more on pets and improving their quality of life.
Technological advancements enabling remote monitoring, feeding, tracking devices.
The growth of the Middle East & Africa smart pet devices market is driven by new technology, allowing pet owners to care for their pets even when they are not home. Because of connected devices and IoT, families can now see what their pets are doing in real time. Because they are busy, many pet owners now count on pet cameras, GPS trackers, automatic feeders, and health trackers in order to care for their pets when they are not home.
As more people in urban areas adopt pets and are middle-income families, pet gadgets help make life more comfortable and stress-free for them. Further, more pet owners are choosing technologies that assist in tracking their pet’s exercise, eating habits, and overall health. As people’s income increases in Asia, they are able to afford better products for their pets. Having pets as family members is becoming popular, which leads to greater demand for these new products.
High device costs limit adoption in lower-income households.
Fewer pet owners in the Middle East and Africa can afford pet electronic devices because of their high cost. Technology is widely used in the Middle East, and most people cannot afford these gadgets. Since many smart pet items come with sophisticated features for remote control, health supervision, and automatic feeding, people often find them more expensive. For those who have lower incomes, it may appear that these devices are more luxurious than mandatory.
Further, because people in the region have unequal incomes, the cost often seems higher and prevents a large group from going to the theater. Therefore, while the number of pets is going up in the region, some parts of the market grow slowly because people do not have much spare money. Besides, if people do not know how much these devices can help them in the future, it can discourage more people from using them. Affordable and better-quality items are difficult to make for local manufacturers.
Untapped rural markets offer growth for affordable pet tech.
It is mainly in rural areas of the MEA region that pet owners are increasing, making this market ripe for smart pet devices. As more people live in cities and earn enough to buy their pets, many rural animal owners are becoming interested in low-cost and simple methods to care for their pets. Automated feeders, trackers with GPS, and devices used for health monitoring help solve these problems for pet owners. Furthermore, as pet care and tech rise in popularity, many seek products that can simplify caring for their animals in areas where vet services are scarce. Innovations in these fields that are cost-effective and adjusted to the areas might attract extra users and help the industry expand. As more people use mobile internet and smartphones in MEA’s rural areas, opportunities for growth in app-connected devices are boosting the market’s growth.
Growing e-commerce platforms simplify access to smart devices.
The smart pet devices market is seeing several new prospects due to the growing usage of online shopping in MEA. Since digital infrastructure and internet usage have improved, finding and buying digital tools for pets online is now easy for consumers. Young people who own pets and are tech-savvy are now seeking better and easier ways to take care of their pets. Brands from other countries can make their products available to people in the MEA region through e-commerce platforms without having to open any stores. Moreover, online shops focused on a region can give special attention to marketing and help in their area, which helps create a trusting relationship with their customers. The region’s people now find it easy to shop online while exploring pet care, so the MEA region is on the rise for smart pet device companies and merchants.
