The size of the Cat Food Market was valued at USD 32.66 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 44.15 billion by 2032, with an expected CAGR of 4.4 % during the forecast period. Cat food is especially designed according to the domestic cat's requirements as an obligate carnivorous creature that consumes high-protein and meat-based diet. They are not in a position to digest plant-based proteins like the case of their close relatives, which means their diets have to have animal-derived proteins in them; such as chicken, beef, or fish, and so forth. Cat foods can be made from dry kibbles, wet (canned) foods, and even raw or freeze-dried variants. Wet food is generally favored for having a higher moisture content, thus promoting hydration. Dry kibble helps to clean the teeth, thereby preventing the accumulation of tartar. Another thing that may be catered for is life stage: kitten, adult, or senior. There may also be added nutrients like taurine, an essential amino acid, and omega-3 fatty acids for healthy skin and coat. There is also specialty food designed for cats with special health conditions, like urinary tract issues, allergies, or weight management. Giving well-balanced cat food ensures felines will get full nutrition to have a full, healthy life.
