Global Pet Care Market 2014-2018 with Del Monte, Mars, Nestle & Procter & Gamble Dominating
M2 - Fri Apr 11, 6:46AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jl6g9g/global_pet_care) has announced the addition of the "Global Pet Care Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Pet Care Market will grow at a CAGR of 4.64% over the period 2013-2018. In the past, the majority of pet food sales were generated from big retail grocery chains and pet stores. However, nowadays, a number of retailers stock private label pet food that is more profitable than branded pet food. The major reasons for this are less costs incurred in producing and selling private label products and ease in supply and distribution. Moreover, private label products are cheaper than national brands, thereby attracting new customers in emerging markets. Therefore, the rise in supermarkets and hypermarkets is likely to lead to an increase in the sales of private label pet care brands, which will in turn, propel the growth of the Global Pet Care market. According to the report, the Global Pet Care market is driven by several factors of which growing urbanization is very important. In the recent past, developed and developing countries have been witnessing rapid urbanization, which has led to an increase in the disposable income of the urban population. This has led to an increase in spending on pet care products. Further, the report states that pets often face health problems that are a matter of serious concern for their owners. One of the common problems faced by pets is obesity, especially in dogs and cats. On average, one out of five pets is obese because of the increased consumption of packaged food products. Further, it has been observed that some pets get addicted to packaged food and completely avoid home-cooked food, resulting in side effects. Additionally, arthritis and heart disease are some of the other increasing health problems faced by aging pets, thus, restricting people from adopting pets. Therefore, health problems in pets pose a significant challenge to the Global Pet Care market. Key Vendors - Del Monte Corp. - Mars Inc. - Nestl? SA - Procter & Gamble Co.
