While, during this time of self-isolation, people are making many sacrifices in an effort to take care of themselves and their communities, there is one vulnerable group that cannot be ignored – our pets.
The global stockpiling trend is not just related to human food but also to pet food, and this can be stressful for pet owners. This is why many could turn to online ordering.
According to GlobalData’s global consumer survey in 2018, 23% of global consumers say they typically buy products for their pets online. While one-quarter of consumers globally is quite a lot, this number is expected to spike following consumption patterns seen in other categories amid the outbreak.
Brands that show success during this time are those who are agile and, if they weren’t already, are adopting contactless delivery methods. It can also be an opportunity for lesser-known brands or premium brands to shine as consumers will have to be more experimental based on what’s available on the shelves and what comes in their subscription boxes.
Subscription boxes are not just about convenience. They are about personalisation.
