The U.S. Pet Supplies Market

Countries covered: United States Special Offer. Now 50% off the original price of $2799. This fully updated report from Packaged Facts analyzes the $5 billion market for non-food pet supplies, covering products for all pet types. The report offers a detailed dis-cussion of market size and composition, distribution and retail trends, and the role of the Internet, providing market projections through 2005. Quantitative analyses derived from sources such as IRI InfoScan sales-tracking data and Simmons Market Research Bureau consumer surveys.

Market Parameters

This study covers the U.S. retail market for pet supplies and accessories, with a focus on pet cats and dogs, though products for other pet animals (fish, birds, small animals, reptiles, and amphibians) are also covered and included in the market quanti-fications. The report addresses the full retail and direct-sales spectrum, with an em-phasis on chain outlets such as pet superstores, mass merchandisers (discounters), and supermarkets.

Reflecting the relative standing of pet supply product segments by sales, and in keeping with the breakout used by Information Resources, Inc. in its InfoScan sales tracking data, Packaged Facts divides the pet supplies market into four main catego-ries. In order of dollar size, these are:

• Cat Litter, including deodorant products;
• Other Dog/Cat Supplies (excluding cat litter and rawhide chews, which comprise their own categories);
• Non-Cat/Dog Supplies, including products for fish, birds, small ani-mals, reptiles/amphibians, and specialty pets; and
• Rawhide Chews.

While the market includes certain edibles that straddle the line between food and toys or healthcare treatments—such as natural or nylon chews—pet food is ad-dressed by a separate Packaged Facts study. This report also does not cover horse or pony supplies, nor does it cover any services to pets, such as grooming and training or veterinary care. Sales of pet supplies to professionals and institutions such as veteri-narians and animal shelters are also excluded. Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs for animals are included in the market, but drugs and supplies available by prescription only are not.

Report Methodology

The information contained in this report was obtained from both primary and secondary research. Primary research entailed consultation with industry sources and on-site examination of the retail milieu. Secondary research entailed data-gathering from relevant trade, business, and government sources, including company literature. Packaged Facts has derived sales figures from sources such as Information Resources, Inc. (IRI) InfoScan data and Supermarket Business consumer expenditure surveys. Figures provided on national consumer advertising expenditures are based on data (copyright 2000) from CMR, a Taylor Nelson Sofres company. The analysis of con-sumer demographics primarily derives from the Simmons Market Research Bureau (New York, NY) Fall 2000 consumer survey, based on 31,576 respondents.

74% of people would go into debt for their pets.
