We brought a profile of the pet segment in the country, based on data produced and organized by Instituto Pet Brasil.
Last year's balance, released by IPB (Instituto Pet Brasil), based on the performance of the pet market until December 31, shows that the sector's revenue grew by 16.4% in 2022, reaching R$ 60.2 billion. This mark surpasses the previous projection, made based on data from the third quarter, which was 15.8% (R$ 59.9 billion).
IPB, an institution that has been stimulating the development of the Brazilian pet sector for ten years, publishes annual revenue projections every quarter. Consolidated revenue for the year is released at the beginning of the following year. Consolidated turnover for 2021 was R$ 51.7 billion, an increase of 27% compared to 2020, which recorded a turnover of R$ 40.9 billion, as reported by IPB. Nelo Marraccini, president of the IPB Advisory Board, highlights that growth followed the sector's trend for 2022. “There was already an expectation of an even greater acceleration in the second half of the year, with the improvement in inflation and Gross Domestic Product in the country. The numbers presented at this closing confirmed this expectation”, he declared.
