Key Trends Fueling Growth
- Increasing demand for pet food with savory ingredients and smaller portions:
- Many pet food vendors globally are expanding their product lines to include flavors with fresh ingredients. For example, Nestle Purina offers PRO PLAN SAVOR SHREDDED BLEND, a cat food line combining dry kibble and tender meat for varied texture. Hills Pet Nutrition provides Hills SCIENCE DIET SAVORY CHICKEN ENTREE for adult cats.
- With the rise in small dog ownership, vendors are catering to this trend by offering smaller portions of dog food in dry and wet varieties. This trend is expected to continue as more pet owners opt for smaller breeds due to ease of care, especially among older individuals and urban dwellers. The introduction of these new products is anticipated to drive growth in the pet food market.

Major Challenges:
- Increasing instances of pet allergies among pet owners
- Certain animals harbor harmful bacteria, like Campylobacter jejuni, which can transmit diseases to humans, particularly children. Additionally, furry and feathered creatures, notably cats and birds, trigger allergies in people. Proteins in pet saliva and urine can incite skin allergies in humans, affecting 15%-30% of allergy sufferers.
- Dog dander, saliva, and urine often provoke immune system reactions, causing nasal and ocular membrane swelling, skin redness, rash, coughing, and asthma attacks. Consequently, pet adoption faces resistance, especially among those with weakened immune systems or asthma.
- Such challenges deter the pet care product market's growth, including pet food sales, during the projected period.

1.1 Dry food- The dry pet food market is set to grow significantly in the coming years due to its easy storage and transportability, offering cost savings for customers and minimal storage risks. With only 10% water content compared to 75% in wet food, dry pet food aids in maintaining pet oral hygiene and can be used in food puzzle toys for controlled intake. The rising number of pet owners globally, especially in emerging markets like India and Malaysia, will further drive growth.
- While currently, demand for dry food exceeds that of wet food, the latter is expected to rise due to its high water content, ease of chewing, and increased satiety, particularly favored by owners of older pets with dental issues.
- Despite its benefits, challenges such as high transportation costs and low durability may hinder the growth of the wet food segment. Dried dog food stands out with higher protein and fat content, perceived as tastier compared to wet alternatives, thus dominating the market for dog food.
