Significant Rise in Pet Population During COVID-19 Pandemic Supported Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the revenues of many industries around the world. The pandemic led to a global lockdown in 2020, causing loneliness and stress among large segments of the world's population. Pets are great partners for pet owners, and with many people adopting pets, there will be enormous opportunities for the pet industry in 2020.
