Smart Wearables for Horses Market Size, Share, Trends, 2031

Report Code : CVMI1905202510 | Published Date : May 19, 2025

The Smart Wearables for Horses Market is rapidly evolving, merging precision equine management with digital innovation. These devices—ranging from biometric monitoring collars to smart blankets and GPS-integrated leg bands—are transforming how owners, trainers, and veterinarians understand and respond to a horse’s health, activity, and environment. In 2024, the global market is valued at USD 735 million and is projected to reach USD 1.65 billion by 2031, growing at a robust CAGR of 12.1%. Increasing investment in equine health, performance analytics, and early disease detection through technology is fueling the adoption of wearables across all equine sectors.

Key Market Drivers

1. Growth in Competitive Equestrian Sports: Horses competing in show jumping, endurance, dressage, and racing increasingly need real-time biometric tracking for injury prevention and optimized performance.

2. Rising Demand for Preventive Health Monitoring: Early detection of lameness, colic, stress, and respiratory conditions using wearable sensors is becoming standard among proactive horse owners.

3. Integration with Smart Stables and Cloud Platforms: Data from wearables syncs with mobile apps and herd management dashboards to inform nutrition, exercise, and care plans.

4. Human-Animal Tech Crossovers: Inspired by the human fitness tech boom, smart wearables for animals are gaining traction with equestrian professionals and recreational riders alike.

Competitive Landscape

Innovative companies at the intersection of equine care and IoT technology are developing hardware-software ecosystems for remote and real-time monitoring:

Nightwatch (Protequus) – Smart halter that alerts for distress signals and cardiac anomalies
Equilab – GPS and ride tracker app with performance insights
SeeHorse – Monitors vital signs and syncs with mobile dashboards
Moocall – Calving and foaling alert system for mares
Arioneo – Smart girths and blankets for respiration, temperature, and activity levels

Emerging Trends

1. AI-Powered Predictive Alerts: Algorithms detect abnormal trends in movement, vitals, or temperature, alerting owners before clinical symptoms appear.

2. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Integrated Devices: Wearables now sync with smart barn systems to automate fans, lighting, and feeding schedules.

3. Sustainability in Device Materials: Companies are using biodegradable, hypoallergenic, and recyclable materials for long-term animal comfort.

4. Multi-Device Ecosystems: Platforms are emerging that integrate multiple wearables (hoof, halter, blanket) into a unified dashboard.

Regulatory Landscape

Smart wearables are generally unregulated medical devices but must meet safety, electromagnetic frequency (EMF), and durability standards. Data privacy and usage consent are emerging issues in regions like the EU (GDPR) and U.S. Veterinary endorsement is increasingly considered essential for clinical use
