The Americas Pet Frenzy Infographic Takes a Look at the Costly Industry

— March 3, 2012 — Lifestyle
FrugalDad.com's Americas Pet Frenzy infographic is a detailed review of the enormous pet industry in the US, which is worth $50.8 billion dollars annually. Surprisingly, however, the interesting infographic also provides details that prove it isn't a one way street -- owning pets can add years to the human life. There is, as FrugalDad.com points out, an imbalance still though, as four million animals die in shelters every year.

According to the Americas Pet Frenzy infographic, more is spent per year on pets in the US than on movies, digital music and video games combined. Dog owners live up to three years longer than the average American, and heart attack victims are six times more likely to survive if they own dogs.
Trend Themes
1. Rising Pet Ownership - Opportunity for pet-related businesses to cater to the growing number of pet owners and offer innovative products and services.
2. Human-animal Bond - Opportunity for businesses to develop products and services that enhance the well-being and longevity of both humans and their pets.
3. Pet Adoption and Shelter Support - Opportunity for businesses to create solutions that address the issue of animal overpopulation and contribute to animal welfare.
Industry Implications
1. Pet Products and Services - Opportunity for companies to innovate and offer a wide range of pet-related products, such as high-quality pet food, pet healthcare services, and pet fashion accessories.
2. Health and Wellness - Opportunity for companies to provide services and products that promote the health and well-being of pets and their owners, such as pet insurance, fitness trackers for pets, and holistic pet care.
3. Tech and E-commerce - Opportunity for companies to leverage technology and e-commerce platforms to develop innovative solutions for pet owners, such as online pet adoption platforms, smart pet devices, and personalized pet subscription boxes.
