Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The pet industry is a major segment of the U.S. economy. In 2005, American pet
owners spent over $35 billion on their small companions, and in 2006, this
figure is expected to approach $37 billion. Recent growth in all segments of
the pet industry has provided an opportunity for both existing players and new
entrants. A growing number of players as well as consolidation among
manufacturers, retailers, and service providers, and globalization of the
American economy have transformed the maturing pet industry into a dynamic,
highly competitive environment. This BCC Research report analyzes these new
developments and their potential impact on the future of the pet industry.
