Pet Food Market Summary

The global pet food market size was estimated at USD 128.73 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 191.24 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2026 to 2033. The demand for pet food products is anticipated to be driven by growing consumer inclination toward the adoption of pets, along with rising concerns regarding pet health and wellness.

Improvements in overall digestion and the performance of pet animals owing to the consumption of nutritious food are also likely to boost the growth of the pet food and care products market. The pet food products available in the global market rarely vary, prompting manufacturers to include multifunctional and innovative ingredients in their offerings to curb this similarity bias. Convenience is likely to play a vital role in driving this industry, given the increased popularity of prepared pet food and the supporting role of the pet food packaging market.

The increasing availability of organic products in a variety of flavors, along with the inclusion of essential ingredients such as probiotics and antioxidants, is likely to have a positive impact on the organic pet food market and the pet food ingredients market. Rising concerns among pet owners have been observed due to various health issues affecting their pets. Joint disease due to a lack of exercise and overfeeding was one of the main reasons pets were overweight. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), USD 123.6 billion was spent on pets in the U.S., including pet food & treats, supplies, vet care, and other items. In 2021, the highest sales in the country, amounting to USD 50.0 billion, were attributed to pet food and treats.

Pets also suffer from high blood pressure and diabetes. Pet owners are increasingly adopting nutritious foods manufactured by various companies, driven by rising awareness of the importance of maintaining their pets' health. This shift in consumer preferences is expected to positively impact the pet food additive market over the forecast period.

Diseases, such as osteoarthritis, among dogs and cats have considerably increased, with over 50% of cats and dogs reportedly suffering from it globally. The demand for pet food has grown significantly over the past few years. Large companies manufacture high-quality products, while others are attempting to market less expensive imitations. This is expected to act as a restraining factor for the growth of the frozen pet food market.

The raw materials utilized in every pet food extrusion market segment are primarily commodities and agricultural-based products. Grains, fruits, and animal protein meals, among other ingredients, are procured from various suppliers. The cost, quality, and availability of these key ingredients have fluctuated in the past and are expected to fluctuate in the future as well. For instance, in March 2023, pet food prices in America rose by 15.1% YoY. As a result, residents are considering giving away their pets. Such sudden and sharp increases in the prices of pet food can adversely affect market growth.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
