Pet products and the market

Market research shows that pet products, by themselves, do not account for 90% of the retail market: pet food, grooming and other products accounted for more than 25-30% in the market and pet medicines, which include vaccines, a treatment for chronic diseases, and even treatment for allergic reactions made up more than 20%.

Pet markets generally are segmented according to their geographic and demographic characteristics. The largest segment is urban, with around 50% market share of the market, compared to more than 25% for most major markets (see ‘Top 10 pet markets’). The other segments are suburban, where a few pet food and grooming companies have been developing the market, and rural areas, where many pet products are used for subsistence living, such as in small rural communities.

Some of the major brands in the market are PetSmart (2.6% market share), Purina (3.3%), and PetCare (10%), with another five leading the retail cat food segment (Purina, Kellogg’s Kibble and Pinnacle PetCare) and the pet care segment (PetSafe, Nutritional Shakes) (see also ‘Pet products and consumer pet care’).
