After growing 44% last year1, U.S. eCommerce sales are expected to continue to surge in the years ahead, topping an estimated one trillion in sales by 20222. More than three quarters of consumers plan to continue those behaviors after the pandemic ends according to a recent study by McKinsey, which has created an even greater need to optimize how a brand shows up on retailer sites.

In recent years, eCommerce has seen rapid acceleration across the Garden and Pet industries. The growth rate and adoption of Home & Garden eCommerce is growing two times faster than category, and Pet eCommerce has grown five times in the last five years.3 This explosive growth will continue to make online sales the fastest growing channel for years to come.

“eCommerce continues to experience incredible growth across both the Garden and Pet industries presenting new and exciting opportunities for Central and our retail partners,” said Mike McGoohan, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Strategy at Central Garden & Pet. “Our partnership with Profitero will help provide better visibility into our consumers’ shopping experience at the digital shelf, which will ultimately increase basket size, drive attachment rates and grow our businesses.”

“Across the board, brands are realizing that eCommerce shopping behaviors are here to stay and in order to unlock the full potential of this shift online, they need to have the right partners to guide them,” said Sarah Hofstetter, President of Profitero. “It's not just about being online anymore, because every brand can be online. We’re helping brands be more competitive, giving them the data, tools and actionable insights that will put them in the best position to win online and successfully grow their business.”
