PET consumer sample. How to get insights from this market?
6 min read

Brazil ranks among the countries with the highest number of PETs per household and is the 2th country that invests and consumes the most PET products and services worldwide. The sector has been efficiently achieving significant growth and becoming one of the largest areas of opportunity in Brazilian commerce today. This is among several other reasons why a company should invest in a PET consumer sample.
Economic growth is not only due to the quantity of PETs in Brazil; the redefinition of PETs, from house protectors to family members, has led many pet owners to start investing in the care of their pets in areas that also provide comfort and leisure, and not just food and health.
Through a PET consumer sample, companies seek to find the areas and regions with the best opportunities and identify potential threats, aiming for economic growth as the sector has been growing.

Growth of the PET market in Brazil
With a silver medal in the global PET market list, Brazil has been growing year after year and investing more and more in products and services in this sector. Of the 1,6 billion PETs in the world, 6,4% are in Brazil, according to data from Euromonitor International. Also according to Euromonitor, the PET sector moves a global market of R$ 130 billion per year and continues to grow. For many years, the PET market has consistently shown commendable growth, always with significant percentages. From 2019 to 2020, even with the pandemic at its peak, the sector grew by 15,5%.
According to estimates from the Pet Brazil Institute (IPB), the PET sector is expected to grow by 14% in 2022, with a revenue of R$ 58,9 billion. According to Abinpet, the PET market accounts for about 0,36% of Brazil's gross domestic product (GDP), ahead of important markets such as household utilities and industrial automation, for example. Through a PET consumer sample, it is possible to note that growth is not only concentrated in the most common sectors such as PET food, pet shops, and animal health; there is a desire and need for services that were not so sought after until now. Technology companies continue to invest and innovate in this market, and every day new animal trainers are formed, as well as the emergence of insurance services and even hotels for PETs.

The peace of mind of leaving your PETs safe and well cared for is priceless, and PET owners know it.

Animals, like humans, require periodic health care, and many PET breeds need more constant care.

Animal hospitals and clinics, preferential places on flights, and health insurance are services aimed at the health and well-being of PETs and have yielded good profits for investors, in addition to the most important thing: health and well-being for animals and comfort for owners.

Every day, more PET owners are more concerned about what their animals eat and about providing the best food for their pets, even with the aim of preserving the PETs' health. By consulting needs and purchasing behaviors through PET consumer samples, companies saw the opportunity to create personalized rations with essential and ideal components for each type of animal, breed, and size. Currently on the market, there are specific rations for each breed, with fun and interesting shapes for animals. Animated treats for PETs have also become common, often used as bargaining chips during training and play.
Who should invest in a PET consumer sample?
It's a mistake to think that your business has no relation to the PET market and sees no areas of opportunity in it. Research shows that 46% of PET owners have stopped frequenting places because they do not accept their animals. Having a PET consumer sample is a differential that good online survey software can provide, because in addition to preventing you from possible threats related to this audience, it will also bring you visions of opportunities with low investment and quick return.
Survey panels for companies came with everything and quickly gained the market

Restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, real estate agencies, construction companies, and even dealerships are reinventing themselves to include PETs in their products and services, in order to gain the preference and loyalty of their audience. Companies with a more free and alternative style already accept that their employees bring their PETs to work, which for many is a very positive and important step, since PETs, for a good part of the population, are considered family members.
A consumer sample PET will help you identify the areas of greatest opportunity and growth, as well as the less saturated and more profitable areas.
