The latest episode of Focus Retail on BFM Business highlighted the strong momentum of the pet care market, with Maxi Zoo France as the main guest. During his interview, Vincent Doumerc, CEO of the company, discussed the major trends reshaping the sector and the strategic ambitions driving Maxi Zoo’s development.
Doumerc emphasised the expansion of the store network, including a growing focus on city‑centre locations, as well as the boom in health‑ and wellness‑oriented products. He also pointed to the increasing importance of exclusive brands, e‑commerce, and omnichannel services, all essential to meeting the evolving expectations of pet owners.
The programme also featured its Start‑up segment, where Julien Evrard presented Bagane, a premium furniture concept that taps into the pet parenting trend by combining interior design with animal well‑being.
Retail expert François Valadas concluded the episode with an analysis of the key trends shaping a market in which French consumers continue to invest in their pets despite a more challenging economic environment.
