Packaged Facts attributes much of the growth in the pet food market to the rapid acceleration of online sales
The US retail market for dog and cat food ended 2018 with sales of $27 billion, up more than 4% compared to 2017, according to market research firm Packaged Facts and its report, titled, “Pet Food in the US, 14th Edition.”
Packaged Facts attributes much of the growth in the pet food market to the rapid acceleration of online sales, driven especially by behemoths Amazon.com and Chewy.com, whose rapid advances have been more than offsetting the resultant drag on brick-and-mortar sales.
