Pets have become a common sight in almost every household in developed countries. These pet owners have made it a habit to take their dogs outside as a companion during their walks and runs. These pets mostly return with their paws full of mud and dirt, which in turn soils the living area or lawn, once the dog returns from venturing outside.

Besides, the demand for pet care products and services is skyrocketing as people's lifestyles improve in various countries. Consumer perceptions of pet health and hygiene are improving, which is resulting in an increased demand for pet care products. Furthermore, rising company’s attention on advertising and promotion is favourably impacting the market growth.

According to the FEDIAF (European Pet Food Industry), around 88 million households own at least one pet animal, with almost a quarter of those having a dog.

Europe is house to over 110 million cats and over 90 million dogs as of 2020. In 2019, over 48% of Dutch homes had at least one pet, according to data from the Dutch Food Industry. Germany, for example, has roughly 10 million dogs, making it Europe's second-largest dog population as of 2019. Grooming dogs is becoming increasingly popular in Italy and Germany, which is likely to boost product sales over the forecast period.

This will trickle down to demand generation for paw plungers as well, and ensuring that the market grows at a steady pace during the projected period.

Covid-19 impact on Paw Plunger Market

The novel coronavirus outbreak had a negative influence on pet hygiene care product sales. However, during the early stages of the outbreak, businesses observed a significant increase in pet basics such as pet food and healthcare goods as consumers resorted to panic shopping.

Such shifts in consumer purchasing habits have had a significant impact on the paw plunger market as well, as the lockdowns were imposed, and people were forced to limit themselves from venturing outside for only essentials. This again led to lower sales, as these cleaners were required only when pets are being taken outside by their owners and they accumulate debris in their paws, which was not the case during the past year.
