European pet retail market modernization

Overview

The pet retail sector in Europe is undergoing digital and structural transformations. Zooplus has expanded its presence in Germany by launching a new marketplace, adding 10,000 products to its assortment. This expansion utilizes artificial intelligence to optimize product information and aims to provide small and medium-sized enterprises with access to a larger European audience.

Simultaneously, physical retail locations are adopting modernization strategies. In Germany, Zoo & Co. has reopened a renovated facility featuring a new brand concept and digital infrastructure, such as electronic shelf labels. In Austria, Kölle Zoo Holding is testing a shop-in-shop format to evaluate new suppliers, allowing partner brands to occupy temporary, specially designed spaces to gauge customer response.
