Estudo de entrega em domicílio de medicamentos para animais de estimação

Agora disponível

As vendas online de medicamentos para animais de estimação estão crescendo rapidamente e, hoje em dia, os donos de animais têm mais opções do que nunca na hora de escolher onde comprar. Mas, nesse mercado em constante evolução e altamente competitivo, algumas questões importantes permanecem: quem está capturando essa receita, como as clínicas veterinárias estão se adaptando e o que influencia as decisões dos donos de animais?

O Estudo de Entrega Domiciliar de Medicamentos para Animais de Estimação em 2026, Desenvolvido pela Brakke Consulting e pela Trone Research & Consulting, este estudo abrangente fornece as respostas. Baseado em mais de uma década de pesquisa, ele oferece uma visão fundamentada em dados sobre o cenário de entrega de medicamentos em domicílio, tanto da perspectiva do veterinário quanto do dono do animal de estimação.

Com base em pesquisas com 400 veterinários e 1.200 donos de animais de estimação nos EUA, o estudo oferece informações estatisticamente confiáveis sobre comportamento de compra, desempenho dos canais de distribuição e pressões competitivas. Ele explora tendências importantes, como modelos de assinatura e entrega automática, fidelização de clientes, conformidade e a crescente influência de varejistas online e novos participantes do mercado.

Os principais insights incluem:

• Preferências dos donos de animais de estimação e fatores que influenciam a compra
• Como as clínicas estão protegendo suas receitas e se adaptando à concorrência online.
• Onde as vendas de medicamentos com receita estão sendo mantidas ou perdidas
• O impacto da telemedicina e a evolução dos modelos de serviço.
• Comparações de referência para acompanhar a evolução do mercado

O produto final é um relatório abrangente em PowerPoint com mais de 100 páginas, contendo análises de especialistas e recomendações práticas para apoiar estratégias de marketing, desenvolvimento de produtos e crescimento.

Com preço de $19.000, o estudo inclui uma consulta de uma hora com um consultor sênior da TRC.

Ponto de vista da Brakke Consulting
Lembro-me do 11 de setembro - há 25 anos.

When we lived in New Jersey and I ran the international business for Pharmacia Animal Health, I bought tickets for me and my two young boys to see the Yankees play the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium in Bronx on September 10, 2001. Back then, and as I still think today, this was the greatest rivalry in sports, and we were all very excited. But after waiting around for a while in the stadium, the game was called because of rain, and we headed home rather bummed out.

The traffic across the George Washington Bridge was terrible that night, and since the boys liked to see the lights of Manhattan, we headed down the FDR Drive to lower Manhattan to drive around the World Trade Center. Despite the weather, the stormy skies made for dramatic views of the massive towers that symbolized the strength of the city and our country. We didn’t get to see two great baseball teams play, but we got to see two great towers.

The morning of Tuesday, September 11, was gorgeous. When the first plane hit the North Tower, I was finishing a budget review meeting with the country manager of Japan. When the second plane hit the South Tower, I had just started a budget review meeting with the country manager of Brazil. These two country managers on the other sides of the world told me that planes had hit the towers – that’s how I found out.

The traffic was terrible that morning because the Giants had lost to the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football and people were late leaving for work. One of my best friends was late for a morning meeting with Cantor Fitzgerald in their offices at the top of the North Tower. He was stuck on the George Washington Bridge – no one in the Cantor Fitzgerald offices that morning survived.

Because of the weather, we saw the magnificent WTC towers the night before they collapsed and burned for 100 days. Because of the traffic, my friend’s life was spared. I will never forget what happened that day.

Telling stories is a great way to remember things in our lives – for me it is cathartic. If you have a story about 9/11 you’d like to tell, send it to us and we will figure out a way to share them with our readers.

Sua visão
Last week we asked you what you thought was the most important factor to determine market potential when bringing a new product or service into the animal health field. Almost 43% of respondents chose disease incidence, 24% chose the competitive landscape, 17% chose customer acquisition, 9% chose the cost of R&D and 7% said the target species. I asked Grok this question but didn’t offer these answer choices – Grok’s answer was whether the product or service solves a commercially relevant unmet need. Then it recommended to answer this question first: Is the problem recognized? Sounds similar to disease incidence.

For me, visiting Ground Zero and the site of the World Trade Center towers is still an emotional event – the first time I visited the Memorial Fountain soon after it was finished, it took my breath away. Let’s see this week how many respondents have visited Ground Zero. Check which best applies to you:
