The global pet obesity management market size is expected to reach USD 1.04 billion by 2026 registering a CAGR of 6.8%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing cases of pet obesity is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 56% of dogs and 60% of cats were obese in U.S in 2017. Moreover, the number of companion animals with clinical obesity is expected to increase rapidly over the forecast period, thereby augmenting market development. Lack of water consumption and physical activity due to age factors leads to obesity in pets, which, in turn, is projected to boost the market growth.
In addition, obesity breeds conditions, such as high blood pressure, arthritis, and certain forms of cancer, are expected to propel the market in near future. Commercial pet foods contain too much grain that may cause more craving for foods. Thus, overfeeding can also increase the risk of obesity in animals. Strategic initiatives by various governments and private companies for increasing the awareness about pet care are expected to drive the market further. For instance, Hills Pet Nutrition laid down the guidelines to spread awareness about the risks associated with overfeeding.
