The pet industry is growing exponentially every day, and this is no surprise. In the United States alone over 90.5 million families own a pet. With such a large number of pets circulating in the country, this also creates a huge market for pet products, whether it be food, toys, or supplies. One example is pet training pads.
Pet Training Pads
Pet training pads, also known as potty pads, piddle pads, or wee-wee pads, are square or rectangular layers of absorbent material. The pet pad market is increasing due to a rise in pet adoption and rise in per capita spending. According to the American pet Products Association, in the United States, over 123.6 billion dollars was spent in 2021 on pet products, with 29.8 billion being spent on supplies such as pet training pads. Consumers are willing to pay more and more for pet care products to provide their pets with the best possible comfort, and it is imperative that companies’ setup infrastructure to keep up with their customers’ needs.
A rise in demand, means that businesses must scale quickly to supply their customers accordingly. There are many challenges however when it comes to scaling a production line quickly, especially when it comes to end-of-line production such as packaging.
