Pet Stores in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

Grooming time: Industry revenue growth will be supported by rising levels of disposable income

The Pet Stores industry in Canada has performed strongly over the past five years as cats, dogs, fish and birds have remained popular home companions. High pet ownership rates and an increasing number of pet parents, those that treat their pets as family members, have supported demand for industry products. A rise in pet ownership and disposable income during the coronavirus further supported the industry. While the coronavirus posed challenges for smaller operators, the industry largely benefited due to higher expenditures by Canadian pet parents. Following the coronavirus, demand for industry products and services remained high although revenue increased at slower rates. Over the past five years industry revenue is expected to increase at a CAGR of 6.2% to $3.8 billion, including a decrease of 0.4% in 2023. However, industry profit is expected to have decreased over the past five years, largely driven by increased operating costs during the coronavirus.
