U.S. Pet Market Outlook, 2016-2017

LONDON, Oct. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The future of the pet industry continues to look bright. The industry picked up the pace in 2015, compared to 2014 when sales were not as strong. And the outlook for 2016 and beyond looks even better, as warm weather across the U.S. is sure to perk up sales. Changes are also in the air in terms of market dynamics. Private equity has shown considerable interest in pet retail, with a host of investments in the major players including PetSmart, Petco and Pet Supermarket. The veterinary channel is also seeing changes, including acquisitions from Mars PetCare and VCA. Services, both veterinary and non-medical, have been moving across channels, as more retailers offer grooming, boarding, training and veterinary clinics.
