India’s pet care industry has surged to $3.6 billion in 2024, nearly doubling from 2019, driven by growing urban pet ownership. The number of pets in Indian households has risen to 32 million, with pet parents like Mumbai entrepreneur Neha Bapna spending thousands monthly on premium food, travel, and wellness. Pet-friendly resorts, grooming services, and specialized healthcare are fueling the industry’s expansion. Experts predict India's pet care market could surpass $7 billion by 2028, despite challenges like limited pet-friendly spaces and economic concerns.
