Abstract
The dynamics of the pet products industry are changing as consumers are now
treating their pets as well as they treat themselves. Traditionally, pets were
perceived to be property. Today, however, consumers are treating their pets
more like children, and "pet parents" have evolved. The "humanization" of pets
is affecting the entire industry. Because consumers are now demanding the same
luxuries for their pets, the pet products industry is booming.
In 2005, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association
(APPMA), total spending on all pet products increased by an estimated 4.4% to
$35.9 billion. From 1999 to 2004, spending grew at an average annual rate of
nearly 7.0%. Growth in the pet industry will be strong again in 2006, as
spending on pet products should increase by at least 4.0%.
It should be noted that several manufacturers have cited a recent trend
towards store brands. According to data presented in Doane Pet Care Company's
10K, sales of store-brand pet foods have increased at a much faster pace than
those for nationally advertised brand foods. In fact, sales of store brand pet
foods reportedly increased at a compound annual rate of 8.8% for the period
from 2001 to 2005, compared to 3.7% for nationally advertised brands.
