Market Growth Factors
Pet humanization and premiumization are the two meaningful factors driving the growth of the US dog food market. It has created a demand for specialty dog food, which is specifically designed to cater to the nutritional requirements of pets. This also caused pet owners to become more aware of the ideal canine diet and to willingly spend on premium product personalization.
For canine life to be sustained, dog food must be made to feed-grade pet food ingredient standards in order to supply a complete and balanced diet of carbohydrates, minerals, proteins, fats, vitamins, and water. These benefits help to build immunity, maintain daily activity and the natural functions of bone and teeth, repair, and maintain muscle tone and stature. People commonly adopt such products for market penetration and consumer favor. The products include dry kibble, wet canned food, and semi-moist food.
Pets are owned more often as people need natural, organic ingredients to grow, so the dog food market innovates for demands. Consumers who focus on health push manufacturers to include more natural products, organic products, and plant-based products in their offerings because they live green lives, stress sustainability, and consider ethics. The increasing bond of dog owners with their pets and the rising demand for premium products that support dogs' health and well-being are expected to be the major factors driving the market growth.
