Pet Travel Becomes the New Global Normal – SUNDLY’s Small-Pack & Adhesive Pet Pads Target the Travel Scene

Pet-friendly travel is rapidly becoming a global trend. The global pet-friendly tourism market is valued at approximately $2.8 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach $5.8 billion by 2034, with a CAGR of 9.3%. In the aviation sector, airlines including Etihad Airways, U.S.-based JSX, and Air India have launched in-cabin pet programs. In accommodations, the global pet-friendly hotel market is expected to reach $8.17 billion by 2030, growing at 12.2% annually. This surge in pet travel has created entirely new demands for pet cleaning supplies.

Whether in aircraft cabins (where pet carrier sizes are restricted), on road trips (where car space is limited), or in hotels (where carpets and furniture need protection), bulky large-pack pet pads are inconvenient and difficult to carry. Meanwhile, standard pads tend to shift or curl under a pet’s movement, leading to leaks that stain seats and floors.

Against this backdrop, small-pack portable pads and adhesive-back pads are becoming essential product categories for the global pet travel scene.

Small-Pack: The Must-Have for Lightweight Travel

Whether for air travel, train trips, or road trips, small-pack pads — compact, lightweight, and individually sealed — allow pet owners to easily tuck them into pet carriers, backpacks, or car door pockets for quick and convenient use.

Adhesive-Back: Eliminating Displacement in Mobile Scenarios

Car seats, hotel floors, pet strollers — these common temporary potty spots have varying surface materials, most of which are smooth. Adhesive-back pads feature adhesive strips at the corners that stick firmly to all types of surfaces, preventing slipping during travel and effectively avoiding leaks and secondary soiling.

As pet travel evolves from “can we bring them?” to “how do we travel better with them?”, pet cleaning supplies must also upgrade from “home-use staples” to “travel-scene solutions.” SUNDLY is ready to support global brand partners in seizing this growth opportunity with proven manufacturing capabilities and flexible customization services.
