Research Methodology

Ecosystem Creation

Untapped Markets mapped the pet food and pet-care ecosystem across brand owners, retailers, marketplaces, subscription models, importers, veterinary channels and DTC platforms.

Desk Research

The study triangulates public market benchmarks, government or trade references, industry coverage, company positioning, product availability, e-commerce signals and regional pet ownership indicators. Where exact country-level premium or DTC values are unavailable, Untapped Markets uses modeled estimates and states them as such.

Forecast and Validation

Forecasts are built from base-year sizing, premium-share assumptions, comparable regional CAGRs and annual CAGR interpolation from 2026 to 2033. Outputs are checked for internal consistency, 2026 and 2032 chart labels, pie-share totals and duplicate contamination.

Survey Design Note

For survey products, the report is structured around consumer behaviour, category attitudes, purchase barriers and brand/channel preferences. No unsupported completed fieldwork is claimed unless fieldwork is separately commissioned.
