The growing adoption of pets worldwide is the major driver of the global pet care e-commerce market. Rising disposable incomes and living standards are encouraging people to own expensive pets. As such, the expenditure on the well-being of pets is also increasing across the globe. With growing internet penetration and the proliferation of smartphones, the booming e-commerce industry is offering pet care product owners the opportunity to sell their products online and expand their market reach. Thus, increasing internet penetration and the growing tech-savvy pet owner population is also significantly driving the growth of the global pet care e-commerce market.

Furthermore, the increasing number of companies offering various pet care online services is further intensifying the competition in the industry, thereby driving the global pet care e-commerce market growth.

An increased number of pet owners buying insurance policies for their pets further boosts the market growth. In 2018, Petco announced the acquisition of the leading pet insurance marketplace- PetInsuranceQuotes.com- to help pet owners find the right insurance plan for their pets.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has positively impacted the growth of the global pet care e-commerce market. Nationwide lockdowns and mandatory social distancing measures have shifted the purchasing preference of pet owners from regular offline stores to online stores. With many bricks-and-mortar pet stores closed due to the pandemic, e-commerce market players have witnessed record growth in sales. Chewy.com, for example, reported a 46.2 percent increase in sales to $1.62 billion, and the company sold more than $1 billion through its auto-ship program for the first time. For instance, Chewy.com reported a rise in sales by 46.2 percent to $1.62 billion, and the company sold more than $1 billion through its auto-ship program for the first time.

According to the Pet Food Manufacturers’ Association (PFMA) 2018 report, 6.6 million households in the United Kingdom own a dog compared to only 5 million U.K. households owning a cat as a pet. However, the cat segment is projected to witness a considerable compound annual growth rate during the forecast period. This is because many people adopt cats as they are relatively low maintenance, require less veterinary care, and require less training.

According to the APPA (American Pet Products Association), total U.S. pet industry expenditure is projected to reach US$99 billion by 2020, from US$90.5 billion in 2018. Asia Pacific (AAPC) is projected to showcase lucrative growth between 2019 and 2025 because of the rising number of pet owners in APAC countries with rising disposable income and living standards.
