Pet Stores in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Man's best friend: Vigorous competition from online retailers, mass merchandisers and discount department stores will likely limit industry growth

The Pet Stores industry has prospered over the past five years due to improvements in household finances and, rising pet ownership among millennials. Therefore, pet parents have increasingly lavished their pets with premium food products, designer pet accessories and luxury grooming services. The industry has expanded steadily during the period despite mounting competition from supermarkets, mass merchandisers and online retailers that offer similar products at greater convenience and competitive prices. Traditional brick-and-mortar establishments have successfully positioned themselves as pioneers and exclusive providers of high-quality food and service offerings, such as grooming or daycare. Over the five years to 2023, IBISWorld expects industry revenue to rise an annualized 4.0% to $29.4 billion, including 0.3% growth in 2023 alone.

Stores also sell pet foods and supplies, such as collars, leashes, health and beauty aids, shampoos, medication, toys, containers, kennels and furniture.
