Commercially
available pet foods industry is today inundated with limitless choices and
multiple options at different price points, by breed type, life-stage, shapes
and sizes, and ingredient preferences. The future for pet foods appears robust,
with demand for healthy and premium end foods for pets providing the needed
impetus. Besides widening product assortments and manufacturer innovations,
factors such as increased popularity of organic pet food, and greater interest
in health of pets continue to drive sales in the pet foods market. With pets
gaining the ‘individual’ status, customization of food products as per their
life stages is evolving as an ongoing trend. Increasing number of dogs, cats
and other animals adopted as pets in various parts of the world also offer
immense growth opportunities for pet food market. Mirroring the trend in other
consumer markets, the market also continues to experience significant growth in
e-commerce for pet food through channels.
The
concept of pet humanization is giving way to pet food trends such as foods for
obesity control, health & wellness, and need for specialized foods for
different life stages of pets. Product
innovation continues to remain a key focus area, creating various niches within
the larger pet foods market. Against the backdrop of rise in product recalls,
and stringent federal and state regulations, healthy pet foods are becoming
increasingly popular. Claims of natural, gluten-free and other nutrition-containing
food items for pets are on rise by pet food suppliers. Continuing to highlight
the customer demand, premium products, featuring characteristics such as
limited ingredients, grain-free, high protein and low-carb, continue to
maintain center stage. Pet Treats are growing in popularity
among pet owners seeking nutrition and wellness of the pets. The recent years
witnessed a commendable growth in sales of
functional treats compared to regular dog and cat food with an
increasing number of pet owners turning to treats created for specific health
conditions related to age- or weight including
bone health, dental health, and skin and coat health. Pet food market is also witnessing
proliferation of exotic and alternative sources of protein in pet foods
manufacture. Akin to the human-food industry, there is an increasing demand for
clean labeling and transparency in pet foods along with growing preference for
locally sourced ingredients and traceability. Growing preference for including
whole ingredients in foods meant for pets has led to a simultaneous increase in
addition of animal protein in raw form as well.
As
stated by the new market research report on Pet Foods, the United States represents
the largest market worldwide. Asia-Pacific is forecast to emerge as the fastest
growing market with a CAGR of 7.6% over the analysis period, led by the increase
in pet population mainly attributed to rise in urbanization, changing
lifestyles, and increase in per capita disposable income in these countries and
rise in number of pet owners switching to commercial pet foods from homemade
foods.
