Description

Dog Food Market Size:

Dog Food Market, growing at a 4.66% CAGR, is expected to grow to USD 103.075 billion in 2030 from USD 82.080 billion in 2025.

Dog Food Market Overview:

The dog food market primarily targets dogs and other closely related canines. The precise ingredients of this diet vary according to the producer; however, most dog foods include meats, grains, cereals, by-products of meat, minerals, and vitamins. Offline and online are both included in the distribution channel category.

The online sector is anticipated to experience the highest growth during the projection period. This segment's growth is mostly attributable to increased consumer convenience, a preference for customization, and widespread access to larger discounts compared to offline businesses. Further, according to a survey conducted by the American Pet Items Association (APPA) in November 2021, 22% of pet owners intend to keep buying pet food products online even after the COVID-19 pandemic is finished. This trend has influenced the growth of the world market.

Dog Food Market Growth Drivers:

• Dog owners were most prevalent overall

The APPA poll revealed that in 2021, more Americans acquired new pets. In the study, 14% of respondents, up from 6% in June 2020, said they acquired a new pet due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, this number rose, with 69 million U.S. households having dogs as their most common pet. Gen Z and Millennials, younger demographic groupings, were more likely to acquire new pets than previous age groups, particularly those who lived in cities and had kids. Significant expected growth in market size is partly due to rising dog ownership rates and concerns over canine health, raising consumer knowledge of specialty and commercially accessible dog food and snacks.

• Using plant-based dog food is a sustainable practice

Plant-based food options have been increasingly popular in the UK in recent years. New research published in April 2022, headed by Professor Andrew Knight of the University of Winchester, claimed that diets made up entirely of plants are safer and healthier for dogs than those made up entirely of meat. It is also better for the environment to put dogs off their meat-based diets. Because the production of dry pet food contributes to the emission of millions of tonnes of CO2. For instance, Freshpet (FRPT) announced in September 2021 the release of Spring & Sprout, the company's first-ever fresh, vegetarian dog food. Spring & Sprout, a balanced dog food made by Freshpet's veterinarian nutritionist, mixes wholesome plant-based proteins with cage-free eggs, fruits, and vegetables. The initiative to offer nutrient-dense food options, along with the creation of a sustainable environment, will fuel market expansion.

• The government's assistance and India's expanding market will accelerate growth.

India is one of Asia's fastest-developing economies. India's pet population has significantly increased, which has mostly been responsible for the market's expansion. The demand for dog food is also being fuelled by social media's quick rise in impact, rising disposable income, and growing awareness of dogs' health. There are a few pet food producers in India, but not enough to match the demand or standards. The government is acting to close the demand-supply gap and support the private sector's investment in the establishment of an animal feed plant under the Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development (AHIDF) scheme, which is valued at Rs 15,000 crore. The government claims that the pet industry in India is expanding at a fast rate.
