U.S. Durable Dog and Cat Pet Care Products Market Report 2022: Older Pets and Owners & Pet Tech Presents Opportunities

DUBLIN, July 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Durable Dog and Cat Pet Care Products in the U.S., 4th Edition" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The impact of the coronavirus pandemic continues to play out across nearly every facet of American life, even as living and working conditions resume some sense of normalcy. In the previous edition of this report from Q3 2020, the publisher had forecasted a 10% growth rate for the durables market for that full year, but the reality defied all expectations.

After years of low- to mid-single-digit growth, the durable pet products market grew by 18% in 2020 as pet owners rushed to purchase products such as gates and crates to keep pets contained while they worked from home, collars and leashes for the walks they now had the time to take, and toys to help keep pets entertained and interactive. An even bigger success story, 2021 saw sales surge 20% to nearly $8 billion, four percentage points higher than growth in the overall non-food pet supplies sector.
