According to the American Pets Product Association, about 370 million cats are globally kept as pets, accounting for 70% of households that own a pet. The industry dynamics, such as the increasing number of multi-cat households and the growing pet cat population, are expected to drive the product demand over the forthcoming years. In addition, the rising number of single-person homes and increasing willingness to own at least one pet are expected to boost the global cat litter market growth.

High Demand of Clumping Litter: Human hostility, adverse weather, and other concerns have led many cat owners to keep their feline friends indoors. This global cat litter trend, coupled with the rising awareness of cat safety, has significantly boosted the demand for cat litter boxes, ensuring a secure environment for their pets. Unlike traditional litter, clumping litter offers a distinct advantage as it allows for easy removal of both solids and urine.

The North America region in the cat litter market accounted for a share of about 39% of the global revenues in 2024. The trend of adopting pets gained momentum in the region, when people were spending more time at home. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), the number of pet-owning households increased from 67% in 2019 to 70% in 2020. A surge in the utilization of technology in cat litter products has also been pushing the markets. For instance, in April 2023, HHOLOVE announced the launch of iPet Smart Litter Box on Kickstarter, a global crowdfunding platform, for North American consumers.
