Key Trends Driving Growth
- Increasing demand for pet food with palatable ingredients and smaller portions:
- Many pet food vendors around the world 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 that combines dry kibble and tender meat for different textures. Hills Pet Nutrition provides Hills SCIENCE DIET SAVORY CHICKEN ENTREE for adult cats.
- With the increase in small dog ownership, vendors are addressing this trend by offering smaller portions of dog food in dry and wet varieties. This trend is expected to continue as more pet owners choose smaller breeds due to ease of care, especially among older individuals and city dwellers. The introduction of these new products is expected to drive growth in the pet food market.

Key Challenges:
- The chances of pet allergies among pet owners are increasing
- Certain animals harbor harmful bacteria, such as Campylobacter jejuni, which can transmit diseases to humans, especially children. Additionally, furry creatures, especially cats and birds, cause allergies in humans. Proteins in pet saliva and urine can trigger skin allergies in humans, affecting 15%-30% of allergy sufferers.
- Dog dander, saliva, and urine often trigger immune system reactions, causing nasal and ocular membrane inflammation, skin rashes, rashes, coughing, and asthma attacks. Because of this, pet adoption faces resistance, especially from those with weakened immune systems or asthma.
- Such challenges hinder the growth of the pet care product market, including the sale of pet food, in the forecast 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, which offers cost savings for customers and minimal storage risks. With only 10% water content compared to 75% in wet food, dry pet food helps maintain pet oral hygiene and can be used in food puzzle toys for controlled consumption. The increasing number of pet owners around the world, especially in emerging markets such as India and Malaysiawill further drive growth.
- Although currently, the demand for dry food exceeds that of wet food, the latter is expected to increase due to its high water content, ease of chewing, and increased satiety, particularly favored by owners of more older pets with dental problems.
- 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 its higher protein and fat content, which is considered tastier compared to wet alternatives, thus dominating the market for dog food.
