SA’s pet industry is the focus of this edition of the Business Day Spotlight.
Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Irené Raubenheimer, co-founder of Rogz.
In business for the last 26 years, Rogz is a pets’ accessories business that Raubenheimer started with Paul Fuller in the late 1990s.
Join the discussion:
Over time Rogz has grown, now supplying 90 countries, while maintaining its headquarters in Cape Town.
Raubenheimer says the pet industry is much larger than they had anticipated and has actually been one of the few to experience growth through the Covid-19 pandemic. The global pet industry is valued at about $223bn as of last year, according to Research and Markets.
Topics of discussion include: Rogz’s business model; the evolution of SA’s pet industry over the last two decades; the effects of Covid-19 on the sector; how SA compares to the global industry and prospects for the future.
