Morgan Stanley reports there are five million more pets in the U.S. than there were in 2019 and predicts an 8% compound annual growth rate in the pet industry by 2030, which is one of the largest rates of return in any retail segment. According to the 2021-2022 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, 70% of U.S. households own a pet. That equates to about 90.5 million homes looking for pet products and services. If you’ve been considering investing in a pet care franchise, a great place to begin your research is FBR’s list of award-winning pet franchises. 

“Americans are increasingly attached to their pets, which is clearly shown in survey results, and thus pet spending is a priority,” says Simeon Gutman, an equity analyst at Morgan Stanley. “Consumers are less willing to cut pet spending even when real personal disposable income declines. On the whole, the pet category remains an attractive investment across both food and products, as well as vets, insurance, and other services, making an investment in the pet sector relatively low-risk.” 

Grand View Research estimates that the global market size of pet care services was valued at USD 23.0 billion in 2021 and reports that it is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1% from 2022 to 2030. The company cites the increasing population of companion animals as well as a steadily growing culture of pet humanization as key drivers influencing increased expenditure on pets today.
