Consumer trends: buying petfood online

When asked to give buzzwords to describe trends in the petfood and treat market, many people—regardless if they are industry experts or pet parents—would answer with words found on many petfood packages: natural, organic, corn-free and human-grade. But perhaps the biggest trend is not what list of ingredients pets are getting from their owners, but where those pet owners are getting those popular niche food and treats.

Online pet retailers are more sophisticated in their web design and e-commerce, reaching their target audience via website usability, SEO, paid search and word of mouth via blogging and discussion boards.

The private equity community has developed a modest fascination with the pet industry over the past five years. Interest has accelerated markedly since 2007, as evidenced by deal volume. Notably, deal volume grew from 2009–2010 in contrast to the broader consumer marketplace which contracted. 2011 is off to a strong start for the industry, with five announced deals in January to-date.

The axis of the pet transaction world was effectively bent by the Swander Pace/Merrick Pet Care transaction and possibly for the better of total transaction volume.
