The global pet food market size is expected to reach USD 139.29 billion to expand at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2024 to 2030 as per the new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is majorly driven by rising demand for organic and natural pet food products due to its numerous nutritional properties.
The global pet food products have witnessed substantial demand over the past few years owing to the advent of online purchasing and notable contribution of e-commerce in shaping and strengthening the industry. Trends influencing the growth of this industry include launches of new products, online private brands, treats, and novel technologies.
Consumers do not prefer traditional products for their pet’s consumption. They try to comprehend the ingredients list and usually opt for healthier available alternative in the market. Consumers prefer made-to-order, frozen, and fresher meals for their pets. Although these types are comparatively expensive, customers are willing to pay more for healthy items for the consumption for their household pets.
The outbreak of COVID-19, which has led to the closure of factories, production units, and manufacturing sites globally, there has been significant decline in the global demand for pet food ingredients and raw materials. Due to the ongoing pandemic, several production plants have been completely or partially shut down while others are running at reduced rates, which may result in a supply-demand gap globally.
