The global pet snacks and treats market size is expected to reach USD 79.23 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 11.9% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. With consumer buying habits and trends in the pet food industry constantly evolving, manufacturers are constantly enhancing their product offerings. Major players are focusing on key countries, which present strong opportunities for sales growth and the development of pet snacks & treats.
Product innovations in terms of clean-label ingredients, sustainable and eco-friendly packaging, health benefits, and longer shelf-stable life are also expected to provide lucrative opportunities for manufacturers. Players have been realizing the immense potential these new pet snacks & treats have and are focusing on creating similar options.
The most common dietary preferences of pet owners suggest a movement toward moderation and higher-quality ingredients. Consumers in the global market seek pet snacks and treats that are organic, natural, sugar-free, low-calorie, low-carb and contain plant-based ingredients. Furthermore, there is a growing demand for premium pet food and increasing interest in natural pet snacks & treats with limited ingredients and health claims such as grain-free.
Over the past few years, the demand for pet snacks & treats has been increasing significantly across the globe. With the legalization of medicinal cannabis for human consumption, pet snacks & treats manufacturers have also begun marketing cannabis-based pet products. The legalization of hemp oil and CBD for pet treats by various governments offers players a major market opportunity.
Cannabis-based products are more effective than conventional ones for treating stress, anxiety, inflammation, pain, insomnia, muscle strain, and other health issues in dogs and cats. In addition, cannabis-based foods show little to no side effects in dogs. These benefits present lucrative growth avenues for players operating in the pet snacks & treats market.
