Smart pet feeders are here to stay, as trends in urban lifestyles and pet humanization gain momentum. An in-demand category among millennials and Gen Z, smart feeders are projected to register a significant CAGR through 2030, driven by needs for high-precision, connected, data-driven pet care.

These automated solutions not only dole out set portions on a schedule but also come with real-time monitoring through smart cameras and feeding analytics. We break down 5 key reasons why demand for smart pet feeders market will continue to soar over the next few years.

A Shortcut to Stress-Free Care

For busy urban pet parents — think work-from-home professionals, frequent travelers, and family caregivers — the smart feeder has become the hero of pet care. Synced to your schedule and automated to dispense meals and snacks on time, they eliminate the uncertainty of whether Fido or Whiskers got fed at work or while you were out.

Plus, mobile app controls make it a no-brainer to set up and adjust feeding times, view pantry status, and get notified through smartphones instead of leaving it to neighbors or sitters to remember. Here’s why we’re betting on hassle-free convenience to fuel strong feeder demand.

Precision Nutrition for Healthier Pets

Pet obesity is a growing concern, and overfeeding is one of the leading causes of weight gain in domestic animals. Smart pet feeders enable:

• Pre-programmed portion control for each meal

• Strict adherence to timed feeding schedules

• Personalized meal planning options for pets of different ages, breeds, or nutritional needs

Advanced feeders also monitor pet consumption and trigger notifications for missed feedings, which can indicate appetite changes or other health issues.

Pet Adoption & Returning to Routine: Effects of the Pandemic Era

Pet adoptions increased in countries all over the world during the pandemic, as people sought companionship and entertainment at home. Now that work and travel have resumed, many pet parents are turning to smart pet feeders as a way to meet their pet’s needs even when they’re away.

Automated pet feeders are now among the fastest-growing sub-categories of pet technology (pet tech), with double-digit growth across the industry as a whole.

Growing Consumer Adoption: Consumer Attitudes Shifting

Pet parents are open to the idea of smart pet feeders for several reasons, many of which go beyond the typical remote feeding and monitoring functions. As connected devices become a norm in the modern home, pet owners increasingly expect reliable automated solutions to take care of everyday responsibilities.

Market Projections & Opportunities in the Smart Feeder Segment

By 2030, the global smart pet feeder market is set to scale up a healthy CAGR based on the following growth drivers:

• Increasing number of households with pets, globally

• Spending on pet wellness & premium categories on the rise

• Heightened consumer awareness of pet health & nutrition

• Product accessibility across online platforms for pets of all sizes

North America currently dominates the global market, but regions like Asia-Pacific and Europe are likely to see rapid market expansion, too, thanks to growing disposable incomes, urbanization, and e-commerce sales in pet tech.
