What Key Factors and Trends are Driving the Growth of the Pet Care E-commerce Market?
The pet care e-commerce market is anticipated to grow due to the increase in pet adoption rates. Pet adoption involves bringing a pet home from shelters or rescues where they have been given loving care, have been spayed or neutered, received vaccinations, and have had training in preparation to become your pet. To engage with consumers, pet care brands are enhancing their marketing strategies and broadening their online presence. For example, data from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a U.S. not-for-profit organization, showed that in July 2022, only 3.2 million of the approximately 6.5 million animals entering shelters are adopted each year. Similarly, the Humane Society, an animal protection organization based in India, stated in July 2022 that annually, 31% of cats and 28% of dogs find homes from shelters. As a result, the pet care e-commerce market's expansion is fueled by the surge in pet adoptions.
