Strategic Management Project Pre-Report
The project pre-report investigates the global pet goods market and addresses significant
components of Japan's and Venezuela's international business environments. Japan, for instance,
is shown as one of the most successful markets for pet product producers. On the contrary,
Venezuela is a highly challenging environment for U.S. and worldwide businesses due to its
economic and political crisis.
Industry Analysis
The great majority of pet owners regard their pets to be family members. According to
Fortune Business Insights (2021), pet care products are becoming more popular as people get
more information about animal welfare and well-being. The key global industry players are Mars
Incorporated and Spectrum Brands Inc from the U.S., Unicharm Corporation from Japan, and
Neste S.A. from Switzerland (Fortune Business Insights, 2021). The market's leading players
focus on expansion, mergers and acquisitions, and new product development (Grand View
Research, n.d.). Pet care items are classified into several categories: food, hygiene, toys, and
others. Global market size is expected to increase from 222.93 billion in 2021 to 325.74 billion
dollars in 2028 (Fortune Business Insights, 2021). Based on industry data, the most recent trend
is changing dietary food products to boost the market (Fortune Business Insights, 2021). For
instance, pet dogs are afflicted by obesity issues in many countries worldwide.
Consequently, the need for dietary food items to keep pets healthy will rise. Another
critical trend is the increased desire for plant-based and healthful food items (Fortune Business
Insights, 2021). The popularity of subscription-based dog and cat toy services is projected to fuel
the need for animal toy items (Fortune Business Insights, 2021). Finally, increased demand for
high-quality animal hygiene products is projected to drive market growth.
