Pet Ownership in Challenging Times & the Effect on Pet Industry Sales

by Freedonia Industry Studies

April 1, 2020

Increased ownership rates for dogs, a pattern evident in the wake of the Great Recession, “might help soften the blow of pet industry losses,” according to David Sprinkle, research director for Packaged Facts, “and in the long term, losses aren’t characteristic to the U.S. pet market.”

Ownership (and adoption from pet shelters) of the most companionable and pettable pets may get a boost among a national population that is now largely isolated, staying at home, and well aware of the mental and physical health benefits of pet ownership.

New pet parents tend to be key buyers of pet products as they look to accommodate an expansion of their pet family or to make their home suitable for their first pet. Pet industry businesses can partner with pet shelters and rescue groups to highlight the ongoing need for homes for these animals and the companionship benefits they have for homebound people.

For more information, see Pet Market Outlook 2020-2021 along with the rest of the pet industry coverage from our sister publisher, Packaged Facts.
