In recent years, the pet economy has continued to grow globally, and smart pet devices are becoming a new growth engine. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global pet wearable device market reached $3.69 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to $4.16 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 14% from 2025 to 2032. Amid this global growth, the United States is the largest and most demanding single market.
Strong demand in the US market is accelerating the penetration of smart pet products.
Americans are known for viewing their pets as family members. According to a report by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), the number of pet-owning households in the United States will exceed 66 million in 2024, with pet spending exceeding $150 billion. Among these, the share of health management and smart device products is rapidly increasing. Consumer demand for pet monitoring, location tracking, and activity tracking has made smart collars, vital sensors, and GPS trackers one of the fastest-growing categories.
Smart collars, automatic feeders, and other pet wearables are particularly popular on platforms like TikTok and Amazon, with many products exceeding 10,000 units sold annually. The integration of AI algorithms and IoT technology has transformed these devices from mere tracking tools into an extension of pet health management. It's foreseeable that the US market for smart pet consumption still holds enormous potential.
Opportunities and Challenges for Cross-Border Sellers: High-Growth Sectors Require Efficient Fulfillment
Smart pet devices, characterized by their small size, high order value, and rapid updates, place extremely high demands on inventory turnover and logistics efficiency. Cross-border sellers who continue to rely on direct shipments from China often face challenges during peak season, such as unstable shipping times and long return and exchange cycles. These devices, in particular, often contain batteries or electronic components, making them sensitive goods requiring specialized handling during customs clearance and transportation.
As a result, more and more sellers are pre-stocking their goods in US overseas warehouses, improving their fulfillment experience through drop shipping and local delivery. This not only significantly shortens delivery times but also provides priority exposure within platform algorithms, boosting conversion rates.
