Franchising: Us & You
Pet ownership and spending on pets is a multi-billion dollar industry in America. In fact, the American Pet Products Association estimates that spend in 2020 will hit $99 billion. This number has steadily increased year over year, even during challenging economic cycles.
Additionally, approximately:
- 85 million households have a pet (dog-63.4, cat-42.7)
- Over the last 30 years pet ownership has gone from 56% to 67% of all U.S. households.
- Pet ownership is increasing by generation as well: baby boomers account for 32% of pets owned, but households headed by younger cohorts now account for 62% of pet ownership.
“Pet specialty retailers who establish themselves as trusted resources within their communities continue to enjoy the benefits of these positive trends, as parents increasingly seek the best advice and products for their pets.”
This phenomenon was particularly evident during the last economic downturn, when the pet industry enjoyed a more comfortable ride as other industries were challenged.
