Pet Food Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global pet food market size reached USD 124.7 billion in 2024, demonstrating robust expansion driven by evolving consumer preferences and increased pet ownership worldwide. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2025 to 2033, reaching a forecasted value of USD 203.3 billion by 2033. This impressive growth trajectory is primarily fueled by heightened awareness of pet health and nutrition, innovation in pet food formulations, and the premiumization trend across developed and emerging markets. As per our latest research, the pet food industry continues to witness a paradigm shift toward natural, organic, and functional products, supporting sustained market expansion.

The primary growth factor propelling the pet food market is the significant rise in pet ownership across both developed and developing regions. Urbanization, changing family structures, and a growing perception of pets as family members have contributed to this surge. As more people adopt pets, there is a corresponding increase in demand for high-quality, nutritious pet food. Furthermore, the humanization of pets has led owners to seek products that mirror their own dietary preferences, such as grain-free, organic, and non-GMO options. This shift in consumer mindset has encouraged manufacturers to innovate and diversify their product offerings, thereby stimulating market growth.

Another critical driver is the increasing focus on pet health and wellness, which has significantly influenced purchasing decisions in the pet food market. Pet owners are becoming more informed about the nutritional needs of their animals, leading to a demand for specialized diets that address specific health concerns such as obesity, allergies, digestive health, and age-related conditions. This trend has given rise to functional pet foods enriched with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and other health-boosting ingredients. Manufacturers are investing heavily in research and development to create formulations that cater to these evolving needs, further propelling the market’s upward trajectory.

The expansion of distribution channels, particularly online retail, has also played a pivotal role in the growth of the pet food market. The convenience of e-commerce platforms, coupled with a wide variety of product choices and home delivery options, has made it easier for consumers to access premium and specialized pet foods. Additionally, the proliferation of specialty pet stores and supermarkets/hypermarkets offering dedicated pet care sections has enhanced product visibility and accessibility. These dynamic shifts in distribution strategies have not only increased market penetration but also fostered brand loyalty and repeat purchases among pet owners.

From a regional perspective, North America continues to dominate the global pet food market, accounting for the largest share in 2024. This leadership is attributed to high pet ownership rates, advanced pet care infrastructure, and a strong presence of leading pet food brands. However, the Asia Pacific region is emerging as the fastest-growing market, with a rising middle class, increasing disposable incomes, and changing attitudes toward pet care. Europe also maintains a significant market share, driven by stringent regulations on pet food quality and a well-established pet culture.

Current Scenario of the Pet Food Market

Key Drivers of the Pet Food Market

Increasing pet ownership rates have led to a greater demand for pet food

The global demographic shift has led to an increasing trend in pet ownership. GenZ and Millenials majorly constitute the total number of pet owners. Moreover, the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in the number of pet owners leading to an increased demand for pet food. According to the data published by the American Veterinary Medical Association, from 2016 and 2020, the proportion of American homes with dogs rose from 38% to 45%, but by 2022, it had bottomed off. In recent times, however, cats have gained popularity. From 25% to 26% in 2020 and then to 29% in 2022, the proportion of households with at least one cat grew marginally. Consumer spending on dogs and cats between 2020 and 2022 increased across the board. Source- https://www.avma.org/news/pet-ownership-rate-stabilizes-spending-increases

The pet food market is driven primarily by the significant increase in pet expenditure, particularly on premium pet food. Because pet owners are becoming more conscious of their pets' health and nutrition, they are becoming more willing to spend money on unique and high-quality ingredients—a trend known as premiumization.

As pet owners' preferences change, manufacturers are forced to develop and improve their formulas, which drives up demand for additives that improve nutritional value, taste, and general well-being. The idea that pets are essential members of the family fuels the relationship between increased pet spending and the desire for high-quality ingredients in pet food, which leads to steady growth.In a prerecorded presentation on October 24 during the two-day AVMA Veterinary Economic and Business Forum, which was virtually held this year, Rosemary Radich, the former principal data scientist for the AVMA Veterinary Economics Division, stated, "The increase in the number of households with dogs looks large, but it occurred over a six-year period, which is pretty conservative growth."
