简介目录

通膨与宠物照护经济的变迁

美国正经历疫情后的长期通货膨胀,这导致人类生活必需品以及宠物相关产品和服务的成本上升,对家庭财务状况产生了重大影响。这些经济负担导致人们减少宠物支出,延迟领养,在某些情况下甚至放弃宠物。这种环境要求兽医诊所能够在价格负担能力和优质护理之间取得平衡。

传统兽医产业的颠覆与机会

传统兽医诊所面临重大课题,包括利润率下降和消费者行为的转变。然而,整个宠物护理产业正在经历一场转型,这场转型由企业和技术娴熟的机构引领,它们利用策略合作伙伴关係和创新的商业模式。这些公司正在模糊产品、服务和数位化互动之间的界限,以赢得更高的客户忠诚度和宠物护理支出占有率。

产业领导者正在推行全通路和 "全市场" 策略,整合零售、电子商务和技术支援服务,以满足不断变化的客户期望。结合诊断、远距医疗、处方管理和送货上门的整体宠物健康生态系统正日益受到关注。

不断变化的消费者行为与人口结构

年轻的宠物主人,尤其是千禧世代和Z世代,正在推动对全面的一站式宠物护理解决方案的需求。这些消费者重视便利性、个人化和高接触服务,这通常反映了他们对人类健康和保健的期望。因此,提供兽医护理、宠物食品、美容和宠物保险一站式服务的公司越来越受欢迎。

线上宠物药局蓬勃发展

在新冠疫情期间,宠物用品的线上销售激增,大大改变了宠物主人的购物方式。根据Packaged Facts的数据,预计到2025年,宠物用品电商销售额将比2020年翻倍。这项转变将提升线上宠物用品零售商和药局的收入,同时也威胁到传统兽医诊所,因为这些诊所历来依赖高利润的诊所内药品销售。兽医医疗服务面临成本正常化,诊所必须创新才能在这个新时代保持获利。 Chewy Pharmacy于2018年上线,亚马逊计划于2025年进军兽医处方领域,这表明电商巨头正以直接面向消费者的解决方案瞄准该领域。这种转变为兽医带来了风险和机会。兽医可能会损失处方药收入,但他们也可以与数位平台合作或开设自己的线上服务。

Inflation and Changing Pet Ownership Economics

As Americans continue to navigate persistent post-pandemic inflation, rising costs for both human necessities and pet-related products and services have significantly impacted household budgets. This financial strain has led to reduced pet spending, delayed adoptions, and, in some cases, pet relinquishment. In this environment, veterinary services that offer a balance of affordability and quality care are in high demand.

Disruption and Opportunity in Traditional Veterinary Care

Legacy veterinary practices face mounting challenges, including declining margins and shifting consumer behaviors. However, the broader pet care industry is undergoing transformation, led by corporate and tech-savvy players leveraging strategic partnerships and innovative business models. These companies are blurring the lines between product, service, and digital engagement to capture greater customer loyalty and share of pet care spending.

Industry leaders are pursuing omnichannel and "omnimarket" strategies, integrating retail, e-commerce, and tech-enabled services to meet evolving customer expectations. The focus is increasingly on holistic pet wellness ecosystems that combine diagnostics, telehealth, prescription management, and home delivery.

Evolving Consumer Behavior and Demographic Shifts

Younger pet owners, especially Millennials and Gen Z, are driving demand for comprehensive, one-stop pet care solutions. These consumers value convenience, personalization, and high-touch service - often mirroring their expectations for human health and wellness. As a result, companies that offer bundled services across veterinary care, pet food, grooming, and pet insurance are gaining traction.

Online Pet Pharmacies Gain Ground

Online sales of pet products surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, reshaping how pet owners shop. This trend continues to accelerate: according to Packaged Facts, e-commerce pet product sales are projected to double 2020 levels by 2025. While this shift boosts revenue for online pet retailers and pharmacies, it threatens traditional veterinary practices that have historically relied on high-margin in-house medication sales. With veterinary services facing cost normalization, practices must innovate to maintain profitability in this new era. Chewy Pharmacy's 2018 launch and Amazon's 2025 entry into veterinary prescriptions exemplify how e-commerce giants are targeting this space with direct-to-consumer solutions. This shift creates both risks and opportunities for veterinarians: while they may lose some prescription revenue, they can also partner with digital platforms or launch their own online offerings.

Veterinary Services Market Report - 2025 Edition
