Supported by tech savvy consumers, especially millennials looking for easy and bulk purchase and delivery of pet products, the online pet food and supplies market is anticipated to witness strong growth in U.S. Factors such as convenient shopping, availability of imported and discounted local pet products, and price comparisons, the market is witnessing a rise in adoption.
The American Pet Product Association (APPA) stated that millennials are the largest segment of pet owners.

Thus, high number of tech savvy pet parents is expected to drive the U.S. pet food and supplies market over the forecast period.

For instance, dehydrated and canned dog and cat food has gained popularity in U.S. Furthermore, demand for organic and natural pet food has increased recently owing to rising consciousness regarding pet health among pet parents. Manufacturers are launching chemical free products to meet requirement of pet’s nutritional intake. For instance, Natural Pet MaxMeat, Air Dried Dry Dog Food by MaxMeat is a high protein meal pack.

Online availability of supplies from different vendors is projected to stimulate the growth of the U.S. online pet and supplies market in near future.

Easy and prompt availability of a wide range of innovative, imported, and convenient products such as trendy pet accessories, hygiene products in form of sprays, imported pet snacks, and others are also contributing to market expansion.
