23 BIG 276 Pet Research Study R1V0 1

Today’s pet owners are changing the traditional American household.

Pets are now being seen as more a part of the family than they were before. There is an increase in the humanization of these animals whether it be toys made to mimic human products, owners purchasing pet insurance, or grooming made to be a spa experience. 

In a post-COVID world, pandemic pets are solidifying their roles. Nearly one-half of owners welcomed a new pet into their household during the pandemic. This helped shape how owners view their pets and spend their money on their pets.

Since Bigeye last reported on pet ownership in 2019, we have seen the projected total spending on pet-related products increase by billions of dollars. 

This report from Bigeye, based on data recorded across the United States, reveals pet owners’ spending habits, how pet owners view their pets, and everything in between.

Discover the Future of the Retail Industry

Today’s shoppers are more informed, connected, and demanding than ever before. 

Even before the pandemic, with growing competition from e-commerce, traditional retailers faced declining footfall at shopping malls and lackluster sales within department stores.

COVID accelerated these trends, enabling more consumers to discover the convenience of online ordering and home delivery. 

Over the past decade, we’ve also seen the rise of direct-to-consumer brands that cultivate their audiences on social media, amplified by influencers – changing the path to purchase in many retail categories. 

These factors combined have permanently disrupted retail.

This report from Bigeye, based on census-balanced data, reveals what shoppers want from brands today, the factors that influence their purchase decisions, and the customer experiences that can entice them back into physical stores.

Gain insights about US consumers’ attitudes and perceptions about gender in this research study.

About the Study

In December 2020, Elliot Page, the Oscar-nominated star of “Juno” shared with fans that they are transgender and identify as nonbinary.

Page joined a growing number of celebrities who identify as nonbinary, including singer Sam Smith, and Olympic gold medalist, Caitlyn Jenner, who was 65 when she came out as a transgender woman.

Nonbinary, trans, and genderfluid identities challenge societal norms. To understand how Americans feel about gender identity and expression, Bigeye undertook a national study involving over 2,000 US consumers aged 18 and over.

For marketers, this is a unique opportunity to learn which consumers are most likely to support gender-neutral toys and education, and how identity and generation influence the purchase of gendered products.

An estimated $5 billion was spent in the US on Cannabidiol (CBD) products in 2019 – an eye-popping 706 percent increase over the previous year. That figure is set to grow to $24 billion by 2023. As an audience insights agency, we set out to understand this evolving market.

Consumers’ receptivity to CBD use has been growing rapidly since the 2018 Farm Bill legalized industrial hemp production. Today, around 15% of adults in the US use CBD products.

To better understand this dynamic market, Bigeye conducted a national research study in January 2020.
