Dog and Cat Toys: U.S. Pet Market Trends and Opportunities

 

Continued humanization of pets, a growing preference for natural and eco-friendly toys among pet owners, more durable plush toys for dogs, and the propensity of pet owners with multiple cats to buy toys will be the primary drivers behind the growth in sales of dog and cat toys over the next five years.  Growth in dog toys (at three-fourths of the total) will outpace growth in cat toys in this billion-dollar market. For cats toys, nonetheless, the Internet and supermarket channels are showing stronger growth in sales, helping to offset declining sales in the pet specialty channel.
