Aside From Consumer Electronics, Pet Products Are The Fastest-Growing Retail Segment
The pet business is a growth industry and is a $32 billion dollar market worldwide. Specialty pet foods are a significant and growing portion of that market, and 43% of those customers buying specialty foods are purchasing them at specialty pet retail stores like PET DEPOT®. Nearly 60% of all U.S. households include at least one pet. In fact, pets are the fastest growing segment of the population in the entire United States. There are 72 million pet cats and 67 million pet dogs in America, along with countless birds, fish and other small animals. Pet food is an industry that offers stability and customer loyalty to the specialty pet food retailer. Year in and year out, customers typically return every 2-6 weeks to purchase more of their pets' favorite brands.
