Description

The performance of the pet industry is influenced by two key factors: economic conditions and pet ownership trends. While the “pets as family” mindset and focus on pet health continue to thrive, economic challenges facing U.S. pet owners create a tough market environment. Post-pandemic inflation and the trade policies of the current administration have brought a level of uncertainty not seen since the Great Recession. Additionally, stagnant growth in the pet population poses another obstacle, although this trend may reverse as more Gen Z adults enter the pet ownership market.

Assuming economic conditions remain stable, Packaged Facts predicts steady growth for the industry over the next five years. The primary challenge—and opportunity—for businesses in the sector lies in addressing economic concerns by ensuring pet care remains affordable. Supporting this goal are trends like the appeal of "Made in the USA" products, home-centric offerings, feline-focused items, premium goods, personalized services, and the adoption of AI-driven efficiencies—all of which can help stabilize and sustain the market.

Scope of the report:

This report analyzes current and projects future retail sales and trends across the U.S. pet industry. It examines collectively and separately four sectors of pet products and services – pet food, non-food pet supplies, veterinary services, and non-medical pet services – paying particular attention to the market impact of the economy, omnichannel and omnimarket strategizing, and consumer mindsets and purchasing patterns.

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.
