Pet care was among the hardest hit industries by inflation and general price increases in Italy, at least in the first half of 2023. However, these price increases were not seen across the board in all distribution channels, with the biggest increases seen in discounters, supermarkets, and hypermarkets. Meanwhile, in pet shops and superstores the price increases were smaller. Inflation has been more stable in 2024 and a gradual return to normality is expected by the end of the year.
