The concentration in the American pet industry is intensifying. A new study, on which PET worldwide reports in its latest issue, shows that the market is split among just a few players. The same tendency can be observed in pet product retailing, where PetSmart and Petco claim a market share of 50+ per cent in the speciality trade. Further topics in the new PET worldwide are: • Cat food: a look at the international market • Benelux: new trends and developments in the pet industry • Internet: how e-commerce is growing in the pet supplies sector You can order the latest issue of PET worldwide by calling +49/72 43/575-145 or by e-mailing u.hoffstaedt@daehne.de.
