1 Synthèse du marché
1.1 Definition and scope of study
The term domesticated animal refers to animals that are fed, managed, regulated (for reproduction) by humans. The opposite of domestic animal is the wild or ferocious animal. There are two categories of pets:
- Pet animals that are kept indoors
- Farm or farm animals that are raised on farms to produce milk, meat, eggs, etc.
This study focuses only on the first category. In common parlance this term refers to dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and small birds.
The global pet industry has grown rapidly as a result of many more people adopting or buying animals as members of their household.

It is estimated that for the next few years the pet adoption market will grow significantly for both dogs and cats but equally for fish and rabbits.
