This is how Mexico’s pet industry makes billions of dollars

The International Market Analysis Research and Consulting Group estimates that Mexico’s pet market was worth $5.4 billion in 2024. It is anticipated to expand at a rate of 4.85% between 2025 and 2033, reaching $8.27 billion by 2025.

Increased pet ownership, the growth of e-commerce platforms, and the growing desire to put companion animals’ comfort and well-being first are the main drivers of this robust growth.

Thanks to technological advancements, the digital pet products and services market is growing quickly. By early 2024, 83.2% of Mexicans had already shopped online and interacted with different companies in the industry, according to IMARC Group.

More than 200 businesses produce or sell pet food in Mexico, and the industry is expected to grow by 2.5 percent year until 2030.

Global corporations like Amazon, Chewy, and Petco, as well as regional startups, are creating omnichannel ecosystems that blend online and offline commerce. In addition to subscription models and reward programs that improve customer relationships, these platforms use artificial intelligence to provide tailored recommendations.

While virtual veterinary consultations and grooming appointments via mobile apps increase the range of services offered, advancements in logistics and distribution systems enable access to areas outside of major cities.
