MARKET DRIVERS
The growing consumer awareness of natural and organic pet food products has led manufacturers to shift their focus from synthetic products to natural products, one of the main factors influencing the pet food market. The convenience benefits associated with organic and natural dry pet foods are expected to drive demand for products. Unlike most conventional types, organic and natural pet foods are used on a large scale. The increase in demand for dog food, along with high traction in the premium pet food sector, is supposed to lead the pet food market during the forecast period. The demand for dry food multiplies compared to other products, and it is convenient to grow and store pets without raising them. This has a positive impact on urban consumers who increasingly choose dry pet food.
Canned foods are considered more delicious for dogs and cats because this type of product contains adequate protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Wet pet food is easy to digest, minimizing backyard cleaning activities. The high digestibility provided by wet foods is desirable for sick cats and dogs and demanding consumers. As a family partner, the tendency to adopt dogs is presumed to increase the demand for products. Dogs, in particular, are witnessing an upward trend in the concept of the humanization of pets. This has increased the number of people who own dogs and offers premium food. In addition, rapid urbanization is one of the main factors that drive the pet food market.
MARKET RESTRAINTS
A significant limitation identified in the growth of the pet food market is the issue of regulatory systems. Also, the high cost of products, especially foods canned with meat proteins, can limit consumer preferences, inhibiting business growth over the outlook period.
