Online Pet Food and Pet Supply Retailing industry revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 0.8% over the five years through 2025-26. Pet ownership in the UK is surging as Millennials delay starting families due to high child-rearing costs, while retirees seek companionship. This trend is reshaping household demographics and driving strong demand in the pet industry, particularly boosting online pet food sales and expanding revenue opportunities across related sectors. Pet humanisation and premiumisation are rising, translating into higher-value baskets. A growing number of pet owners treat fur babies as part of the family, deserving the very best on offer from clothing, grooming, premium food, treats and toys. Britons want their animals to look and feel good, investing more in special diets and indulgent products that promise a better quality of life, supporting revenue growth. Despite the positive outlook, retailers continue to face numerous challenges in the form of intense competition from supermarkets and generalist retail giants like Amazon, which have entered the pet market. During the cost-of-living crisis, many pet owners cut back on spending on their beloved pets, with some even reconsidering ownership altogether. However, as inflationary pressures ease in 2025-26, pet owners begin feeling more confident and willing to spend more on their pets. This shift is set to drive increased sales for online pet food retailers. In 2025-26, revenue is anticipated to hike 6% to £1.1 billion, and the average profit is expected to reach 5.8%. Over the five years through 2030-31, the online pet food and supplies industry's revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 4.2% to £1.4 billion. As the levels of pet ownership increase within the UK, the number of e-retailers selling pet foods and supplies will grow. One reason for the growth in pet numbers is that Millennials and Gen Z are delaying having children and are instead turning to pets for companionship. Also, social media drives pet industry trends among Gen Z, who routinely engage with pet content on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, amplifying the impact of pet influencers and directly shaping purchasing habits. Demand for pet essentials remains steady, enabling companies like Pets at Home to boost recurring revenue and customer retention by offering bundled monthly subscription services that address these ongoing needs.
