The dry pet food held the largest market share in the global pet foods market, followed by snacks and treats, and wet foods. Manufacturers in the global pet food market are becoming increasingly responsive towards demand for better quality standards and healthier products owing to rising concern of pet owners to provide their pet with foods with high nutrition level. The pet food manufacturers are increasing their research and development budget to fulfill the expectations of pet owners. With the rising pet ownership and growing concern of pet owners towards safety of their pets, the regulatory standards in the pet food industry has been rising. Already well-established in North America, this trend is expected to augment further to other global regions.
The use of ingredients in the pet food industry is also getting public attention worldwide. The ingredients are responsible for sound development of digestion, brain development, immune system and joint health of the pets.
Geographically, North America dominates the global pet food market and is expected to grow at a consistent pace. According to American Pet Products Association, the total pet care industry expenditure in the U.S. was $58 billion in 2014 which is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years. The total expenditure in the U.S pet food industry is expected to be $23 billion in 2015 increasing from $22 billion in 2014. Europe occupies the second largest share in the global pet food market after North America. However, the pet food market in Europe is growing at a higher pace as compared to North America due to increasing pet adoption in the region. Among regions, Asia Pacific is the fastest growing pet food market which can be attributed to factors such as under-penetrated market structure, growing disposable incomes, and rising numbers of nuclear families. Pet adoption is emerging as one of the symbols of social status in Asian countries which has been favorable for the pet food market in the region. This has also led to significant increase in investment from the global pet food manufacturers in the region.
