Pet Cremation Services in the US industry analysis

Many factors have fueled consumers' choice of cremation services over traditional pet burials. The increasing cost of conventional burial services, especially in population centers with diminished cemetery space, has prompted consumers to consider lower-cost cremation. Additionally, households increasingly view their pets as an integral part of the family. This, combined with a rising pet ownership rate, has boosted demand for pet cremation services. Overall, industry revenue increased at a CAGR of 12.5% to $1.3 billion over the past five years, including a 1.3% increase in 2024 alone. The jump in 2024 can be mainly attributed to the continued growth in the number of household pets throughout the past five years.
