Description

Pet Food in the US, 18th Edition


This report covers the retail market for pet food in the United States, focusing on products for dogs and cats. The full retail spectrum is quantified, including online sales, mass-market outlets, pet specialty stores (chains and independents), and other channels. Sales through the veterinary channel are excluded. This report also examines meal toppers and other pet food add-ins to provide market perspective and track overall trends in pet food. Packaged Facts projects that sales of dog and cat food will grow from nearly $52 billion in 2023 to over $64 billion in 2028, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 4.4% for the period, a return to the kind of growth seen prior to the COVID era.

Featuring in-depth analysis of these and other factors contributing to the changes this market is experiencing, this completely revised 18th edition of Packaged Facts’ Pet Food in the US provides historical and projected overall sales (2018-2028), as well as separate sales tracking and projections for dog and cat food. The report also examines trends by form (dry, wet, semi-moist, frozen/refrigerated, and freeze-/air-dried), ingredients, and product claims across the full retail spectrum including online retailers, mass-market outlets, the pet specialty channel, and other channels. Relying on survey data from Packaged Facts’ proprietary January 2024 and July-August 2024 Surveys of Pet Owners, as well as MRI-Simmons Summer 2024 consumer study, Pet Food in the US provides a detailed look at pet owner sentiment and pet food usage by type, marketer, and brand.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
