Pet Tech Market Analysis, Development Status, Business Growth and Regional Forecast Till 2035
New York – March 10, 2023 - Research Nester’s recent market research analysis on “Pet Tech Market: Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2035” delivers a detailed competitors analysis and a detailed overview of the global pet tech market in terms of market segmentation by type, product, application, end use, distribution channel and by region.
Rise in Prevalence of Disease Among Pets to Boost the Growth of Global Pet Tech Market
The global pet tech market is estimated to grow on account of rise in prevalence of disease among pets. Many diseases affect pets, most of which go unrecognized. For instance, congestive heart failure (CHF) is comparatively common in dogs. Around 9% of all canines and about 74% of older dogs have some form of heart illness.
There are numerous potential causes for the emergence of CHF. Some dogs are born with congenital cardiac issues that contribute to this sickness, albeit the symptoms of this ailment may not appear for years. As a result, there is an increasing need for various wearable animal gadgets and AI-assisted technologies, which is further expected to drive market expansion.
Moreover, surge in adoption of pet is also anticipated to boost the market growth. Around 18 million dogs were kept as pets in India in 2018. It was predicted that there would be more pets than 30 million by the end of 2023. Interaction with animals has been demonstrated to lower blood pressure and cortisol levels, a hormone associated to stress.
Other studies have shown that interacting with animals could elevate mood, reduce loneliness, and foster a sense of community. Therefore, this may be the main driver of the increase in pet adoption. Also, there has been an increase in the transmission of disease among pets, which has raised concerns about the health of the animals. As a result, there is a rising need for examination, which is expected to fuel the market for pet tech.
Some of the major growth factors and challenges that are associated with the growth of the global pet tech are:
· Growing Prevalence of Internet
· Rise in Lost Pet Cases
Challenges:
Owners who use pet-related devices must also deal with unanticipated problems. Even, if the training collar has a remote, it could occasionally not work. For instance, the batteries may deplete or the remote control could stop operating at any time. There could be further problems, as when food is served insufficiently or at the inappropriate times.
There are many possible ways that technology could go wrong, so when these problems do arise, people might find them annoying. As a result, it is predicted that this factor would slow market expansion. Moreover, there is a possibility that this pet tech may also suffer from electrical issues as many tech products do operate on electricity. Hence, owing to the shortage of electricity this product couldn’t function.
Access our detailed report at: https://www.researchnester.com/sample-request-4743
By type, the market for pet tech is segmented into RFID, GPS, and sensors. Amongst these segments, the RFID segment is anticipated to garner the largest revenue by the end of 2035, backed by rising need to monitor the temperature, heart rate, and more, of the pet. Further, the obesity prevalence among pets is also growing. Hence, owing to this, the need to monitor calorie intake is also rising, further boosting the segment growth.
Also, farmers are using it more frequently to track their livestock. When an animal comes within range of the RFID reader, a radio signal from the reader's antenna activates the RFID chip, enabling radio frequency identification, also known as RFID. After that, the chip sends back a signal with the animal's unique identification number. Reader information might be used by an animal tracking computer. Farmers and ranchers use tags to track a variety of factors, including medication dosage, feed output, weight, and milk production.
By region, the North America pet tech market is estimated to generate the highest revenue by the end of 2035. The growth of the market in this region can be attributed to rising disposable income of the people which is further influencing people to invest more on intelligent and smart pet products such as smart collars, feeders, and more, along with growing adoption of rescue pets.
Additionally, it is projected that the rise in pet illnesses would encourage pet owners to invest in smart pet technology and monitor their pets' physiological processes including breathing, heart rate, and sleep. This is expected to boost growth for the North American pet tech market in the region throughout the course of the projected year. Also, with an increasing demand for pet collars that enable better training in animals, the market in this region is expected to expand significantly during the ensuing years.
This report also provides the existing competitive scenario of some of the key players of the global pet tech market which includes company profiling of GoPro, Inc., FitBark Inc., Garmin Ltd., CleverPet Inc., Scollar Personalized Pet Care, Tractive, Mars Incorporated, Lupine Pet, Motorola Solutions Inc., and Wagz Inc.

5G is now live in 24 markets, GSMA predicts it’ll be 20% of global connections by 2025 — and eyes a big tech break-up
The next-gen flavor of mobile connectivity, 5G, is now live in 24 markets globally, according to GSMA’s annual state of the global mobile economy report.
The cutting edge network tech is capable of supporting speeds up to 100x faster than LTE/4G and delivering latency of just a few milliseconds, as well as being able to connect many more devices per cell site. As it rolls out, it’s expected to underpin a new wave of “smarter” digital services which bake in real-time AI assistance and help drive the digitization of legacy industries.
In last year’s report the carrier association didn’t break out a firm figure for markets where 5G is live — but dubbed the tech “a reality” after commercial launches in the US and South Korea towards the end of 2018. It also said it was expecting 16 more “major countries” to have launched 5G networks by the end of 2019.
It’s now touting “significant traction” for 5G — saying 79 operators across a further 39 markets had announced plans to launch commercial 5G services as of January 20, 2020. 
As it stands actual 5G connections remain a fraction of the connectivity pie vs current (4G) and previous gen cellular favors. Per the report, 4G became the dominant mobile tech globally in 2019 — with over 4BN connections, accounting for 52% of total connections (excluding licensed cellular IoT).
The GSMA expects 4G connections to continue to grow for the next few years, peaking at just under 60% of global connections by 2023.
For 5G its forecast is that it will account for a fifth (20%) of global connections by 2025, with the carrier association expecting “particularly strong” take-up across developed Asia, North America and Europe.
(For wider context, almost half of the global population (3.8BN people) are now users of the mobile internet as a whole (2G-5G), per the report — which is forecast to grow to 61% (5BN people) by 2025.)
It’s worth emphasizing that the presence of 5G in a market does not mean universal coverage.
On the contrary, 5G rollouts have tended to be targeted on urban centers. Which means 5G availability in the 24 markets that have launched commercial networks so far is likely highly limited vs population. There are also still relatively few 5G smartphones vs non-5G handsets (though since this time last year more are being unboxed; Sony, for example, just announced its first 5G handsets).
Perhaps, most importantly, consumer demand for the next-gen flavor of connectivity has yet to be robustly stood up. The GSMA’s report poses the (existential, for telcos) question of: “Will they pay for it?”
“The number of live 5G markets is increasing by the day and consumers’ awareness of the technology is also growing as hype makes way for reality. However, there is wide variation across the globe in terms of intentions to upgrade to 5G and the willingness to pay more for it,” it concedes.
“In general, consumers in South Korea and China – having witnessed some of the earliest launches – appear to be the most excited by the prospect of upgrading to 5G, while those in the US, Europe and Japan seem more content with 4G for the time being,” the GSMA adds, before striking an upbeat note: “5G is still in its infancy though; as more tangible use cases are deployed, more consumers will appreciate the benefits of 5G.”
Aka, 5G needs a killer app. But one has yet to emerge. (Edit note: A global pandemic that triggers a mass transition to remote working and virtualized socializing could have potential though. After all, concerns about the corona virus did force the GSMA to cancel its own annual shindig, MWC, just last month.)
Despite the report’s prediction that consumers will, down the line, be sold on 5G’s “benefits” another graphic in the report maps out the current reality — that “awareness of 5G does not necessarily translate into an intention to upgrade”.
It shows adults in markets including the UK, Australia, Spain and Italy having high awareness of the tech but low intent to pay for 5G, with less than 35% saying they want to upgrade. The US market also has a similarly high level of awareness of 5G — and only a slightly higher intention to upgrade (~40%+). 
The GSMA writes that more needs to be done by carriers to “raise awareness” of other “benefits” than just higher data speeds, touting claimed advantages such as “improved mobile service coverage”, “innovative new services” and “connectivity for previously unconnected devices” as having 5G marketing potential.
However, on the latter point at least, the report also chronicles variable and often low appetite — certainly outside China — for a range of ‘smart’ devices…
Still, the GSMA predicts billions more IoT devices will be coming on stream over the next five years — saying that between 2019 and 2025 the number of global IoT connections will more than double to almost 25 billion, while it expects global IoT revenue to more than triple to $1.1 trillion.
Another segment of the report deals with the perennial issue of stagnant operator revenue growth vs Internet companies, with the GSMA noting telcos continue to lag tech giants and major device makers.
“For many operators, revenue growth as a percentage is in the low single digits, if that,” it writes. “As core telecoms revenue stagnates, a common strategy now for major operator groups is to seek revenue growth from adjacent services. Pay TV, media, IoT, enterprise solutions and the broader array of digital services still only account for a minor share of operator revenues (10–20% for most), although there are a few notable exceptions, largely enabled by M&A activity.”
It’s perhaps no surprise, then, that top of the GSMA’s 2025 prediction/wish-list is a bold one that one of the GAFA companies (Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon) will be broken up. (It makes not suggestion of which — though plenty of American eyes are now on Google.)
Other near-term hopes on the GSMA’s list are that “AR eye glasses reach the mass market with a form factor from at least one global OEM”; health wearables become “part of the solution to overburdened public health systems”; and “private enterprise networks explode and become a battleground between telcos and cloud companies” (we don’t think they mean explode literally). 
There’s also another 2025 prediction for 5G — that the technology becomes “the first generation in the history of mobile to have a bigger impact on enterprise than consumers”.
Which is certainly one way to silver-line a low-demand ‘cloud’ and hedge (hopefully) for business buy-in to make up for lacklustre consumer desire to pay more to do the same stuff slightly faster* (*depending on network conditions). 
“Governments and regulators must play their part to help propel 5G into commercial use by implementing policies that encourage advanced technologies (e.g. AI and IoT) to be applied across all economic sectors,” the GSMA writes elsewhere in the report — a call to action that aligns exactly with policy priorities recently set out by the new European Commission, suggesting telco lobbying in Brussels has borne fruit. 
Thierry Breton, the Commissioner for internal market — who’s now driving a pan-EU strategy to encourage the pooling and reuse of industrial data that leans heavily on the deployment of what’s he’s called “critical” 5G networks — is also a former chairman and CEO of France Telecom.

(For wider context, almost half of the global population (3.8BN people) are now users of the mobile internet as a whole (2G-5G), per the report — which is forecast to grow to 61% (5BN people) by 2025.)
It’s worth emphasizing that the presence of 5G in a market does not mean universal coverage.
On the contrary, 5G rollouts have tended to be targeted on urban centers. Which means 5G availability in the 24 markets that have launched commercial networks so far is likely highly limited vs population. There are also still relatively few 5G smartphones vs non-5G handsets (though since this time last year more are being unboxed; Sony, for example, just announced its first 5G handsets).
Perhaps, most importantly, consumer demand for the next-gen flavor of connectivity has yet to be robustly stood up. The GSMA’s report poses the (existential, for telcos) question of: “Will they pay for it?”
“The number of live 5G markets is increasing by the day and consumers’ awareness of the technology is also growing as hype makes way for reality. However, there is wide variation across the globe in terms of intentions to upgrade to 5G and the willingness to pay more for it,” it concedes.
“In general, consumers in South Korea and China – having witnessed some of the earliest launches – appear to be the most excited by the prospect of upgrading to 5G, while those in the US, Europe and Japan seem more content with 4G for the time being,” the GSMA adds, before striking an upbeat note: “5G is still in its infancy though; as more tangible use cases are deployed, more consumers will appreciate the benefits of 5G.”
Aka, 5G needs a killer app. But one has yet to emerge. (Edit note: A global pandemic that triggers a mass transition to remote working and virtualized socializing could have potential though. After all, concerns about the corona virus did force the GSMA to cancel its own annual shindig, MWC, just last month.)
Despite the report’s prediction that consumers will, down the line, be sold on 5G’s “benefits” another graphic in the report maps out the current reality — that “awareness of 5G does not necessarily translate into an intention to upgrade”.
It shows adults in markets including the UK, Australia, Spain and Italy having high awareness of the tech but low intent to pay for 5G, with less than 35% saying they want to upgrade. The US market also has a similarly high level of awareness of 5G — and only a slightly higher intention to upgrade (~40%+). 
The GSMA writes that more needs to be done by carriers to “raise awareness” of other “benefits” than just higher data speeds, touting claimed advantages such as “improved mobile service coverage”, “innovative new services” and “connectivity for previously unconnected devices” as having 5G marketing potential.
However, on the latter point at least, the report also chronicles variable and often low appetite — certainly outside China — for a range of ‘smart’ devices…
Still, the GSMA predicts billions more IoT devices will be coming on stream over the next five years — saying that between 2019 and 2025 the number of global IoT connections will more than double to almost 25 billion, while it expects global IoT revenue to more than triple to $1.1 trillion.
Another segment of the report deals with the perennial issue of stagnant operator revenue growth vs Internet companies, with the GSMA noting telcos continue to lag tech giants and major device makers.
“For many operators, revenue growth as a percentage is in the low single digits, if that,” it writes. “As core telecoms revenue stagnates, a common strategy now for major operator groups is to seek revenue growth from adjacent services. Pay TV, media, IoT, enterprise solutions and the broader array of digital services still only account for a minor share of operator revenues (10–20% for most), although there are a few notable exceptions, largely enabled by M&A activity.”
It’s perhaps no surprise, then, that top of the GSMA’s 2025 prediction/wish-list is a bold one that one of the GAFA companies (Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon) will be broken up. (It makes not suggestion of which — though plenty of American eyes are now on Google.)
Other near-term hopes on the GSMA’s list are that “AR eye glasses reach the mass market with a form factor from at least one global OEM”; health wearables become “part of the solution to overburdened public health systems”; and “private enterprise networks explode and become a battleground between telcos and cloud companies” (we don’t think they mean explode literally). 
There’s also another 2025 prediction for 5G — that the technology becomes “the first generation in the history of mobile to have a bigger impact on enterprise than consumers”.
Which is certainly one way to silver-line a low-demand ‘cloud’ and hedge (hopefully) for business buy-in to make up for lacklustre consumer desire to pay more to do the same stuff slightly faster* (*depending on network conditions). 
“Governments and regulators must play their part to help propel 5G into commercial use by implementing policies that encourage advanced technologies (e.g. AI and IoT) to be applied across all economic sectors,” the GSMA writes elsewhere in the report — a call to action that aligns exactly with policy priorities recently set out by the new European Commission, suggesting telco lobbying in Brussels has borne fruit. 
Thierry Breton, the Commissioner for internal market — who’s now driving a pan-EU strategy to encourage the pooling and reuse of industrial data that leans heavily on the deployment of what’s he’s called “critical” 5G networks — is also a former chairman and CEO of France Telecom.

Acupuncture Market Rugged Expansion Foreseen by 2023
Market Overview
Acupuncture therapy is an alternative therapy which includes insertion of thin needles at strategic body points by trained professionals and works on the principle of balancing the flow of life energy in the body to treat disease and manage stress for a healthy living. The therapy is gaining acclamation owing to the myriad benefits it offers. Acupuncture helps to release comorbid discomforts. It treats pain associated with chemotherapy in cancer treatment, bone problems like osteoporosis, respiratory issues, migraine, fibromyalgia, and others which are mostly observed incidents in the rising geriatric population. The growing prevalence of gynaecological disorders like menstrual issues, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), pregnancy complications, menopausal related issues, dysmenorrhea, and infertility are influencing people to opt acupuncture therapy as a treatment for releasing pain induced by such problems. Furthermore, the capability of the acupuncture therapy to treat psychological illness and insomnia, disorders which are observed in majority of the world population owing to the modern lifestyle, is anticipated to amplify the acupuncture market growth, globally. Acupuncture therapy is a painless therapy as the needles penetrating only the skin are extremely thin. The escalating demand for such non-invasive therapy among people is expected to spur the global acupuncture market growth.
On the flip side, side effects associated with acupuncture treatment and lack of approved clinical support are challenges that the acupuncture market can encounter which can be responsible for the retarded acupuncture market growth.
Market Research Future (MRFR) predicts that the global Acupuncture Market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 14.50% in the upcoming years 2017-2023 and shoot up to valuation USD 55323.8 Mn by 2023. 
Major Players:
Key players leading the global Acupuncture market include Schwa-medico GmbH, Wuxi Jiajian Medical Instruments Co., Ltd, 3B Scientific GmbH, Zepter International, SEIRIN Corporation, Cymedics GmbH & Co. KG, Asia-med GmbH, MKW Laser system GmbH, Qingdao Great Fortune Co., Ltd., and AcuMedic Ltd. among others.
Acupuncture Market – Segments
For ease of understanding, the market is segmented into four key dynamics: -
By Product & Services       : Services (Traditional Chinese Medicine, Japanese Acupuncture, Korean Hand Acupuncture, Auricular & Scalp Acupuncture, Non-Insertion Acupuncture, Moxibustion, and others) and Products (Cupping & Needles, Suction Cups, Laser Needle, Rod Lasers, Laser Pens, Electro-Acupuncture Devices, and others.).  
By Application: Pain Syndrome Illnesses and Gynecological Disorders among others.
By End-user: Wellness Center and Hospitals & Specialty Clinics among others.
By Regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Rest-of-the-World.
Regional Analysis
The European region heading with the presence of a large number of players accounts for the dominating market in the global Acupuncture market. The region is expected to exhibit a phenomenal growth prospect throughout the review period.  The increasing number of occurrences of chronic diseases alongside the growing preference for acupuncture therapies amongst the European population drives the growth of the regional market.
Furthermore, factors such as the escalating insurance coverage in nations like Austria, France, Spain, and others, by other private companies and government support for R&D activities, increase in geriatric population, and the increasing demand for Acupuncture therapies and devices add to the growth in the regional market.  The European acupuncture market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.53 % over the forecast period.
The Acupuncture market in the Asia Pacific region is another lucrative market, globally. The market is primarily led by the growing inclination towards the alternative therapies and major markets in China and India which have emerged as the fastest growing market for acupuncture devices. Additionally, increasing healthcare expenditures and the prevalence of various common disorders are positively impacting the growth of the regional market.
Global Acupuncture Market – Competitive Analysis
Highly competitive, the Acupuncture market appears to be fragmented due to the presence of several key players who are making substantial investments in R&D activities to bring about innovations in the devices.
Manufacturers of acupuncture devices try to develop instruments that are user-friendly, convenient and can allow physicians to optimize the pain treatment efficiently, literally, for each patient. Caregivers try to offer uniquely refined treatments using advanced devices with controlled incremental expansion designs.
