Report Methodology
The information in this report was obtained from both primary and secondary
research. Primary research entailed attendance at industry trade shows;
informal interviews with members of the trade; and an on-site examination of
the retail milieu, including mass-market outlets, pet specialty shops, and
veterinary clinics. Secondary research included extensive Internet canvassing
and research- and data-gathering from relevant trade, business, and government
sources; company reports including annual reports, 10Ks, and other financial
releases from public companies; company profiles in trade and consumer
publications; and other reports by Packaged Facts, which has been reporting on
pet-related markets for nearly two decades.
Our market size estimates are based on Information Resources, Inc. (IRI) data
for tracked mass-market retailers (supermarkets, drugstores, and mass
merchandisers other than Wal-Mart), independent pet store sales-tracking
surveys, reported revenues of marketers and retailers, and figures appearing
in the trade press. Information on new product introductions is derived from
reports in the trade press and online, as well as detailed data from
Productscan Online, a service of Datamonitor, Ltd. Our analysis of consumer
demographics derives primarily from the Simmons Market Research Bureau (New
York, New York) spring 2006 consumer survey, which is based on approximately
30,000 respondents
