The APPA National Pet Market Opportunity Study focuses on previous and non-pet owners in order to identify market opportunities and barriers to pet ownership. This study delves into the reasons why previous and non-pet owners do not own a pet, with special focus on the role that presence of children in the household and household income have on pet ownership. A need/gap analysis is presented to compare previous and non-pet owners' levels of agreement with personal attitude statements to those of current pet owners. In addition, this study also includes the effect of current economic conditions on pet ownership, a summary of media activities, internet access and information about awareness of new pet products.
