US Pet Market Focus: Pet Specialty Channel and Internet Shoppers

Industry Reports, United States

Report Overview

In pet industry retailing, things are both changing and staying the same. With the early 2000s bust, the pet industry gave investors one of the most dramatic dot.com failures:  Pets.com of sock puppet fame.  Fast forward two decades, and PetSmart’s June 2019 IPO of Chewy.com proved a spectacular success, leading to the Forbes headline “Don’t Bet Against Pets.”

The pet industry continues to outperform the lion’s share of consumer good markets, and the lions are less changeable than might meet the eye:  Amazon was an investor in Pets.com, and PetSmart acquired Pets.com’s assets. In U.S. Pet Market Focus: Pet Specialty Channel and Internet Shoppers, Packaged Facts projects that the Internet will account for 26% of U.S. pet product sales by 2023, with PetSmart/Chewy and Amazon cornering 78% of this ecommerce.
