Global Cat Food Market Outlook
The global cat food market size was valued at USD 32.66 billion in 2023. The market is further projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of USD 48.90 billion by 2032.
Key Takeaways
- Cat food market growth is attributed to the increasing trend of pet ownership worldwide, with over half of the global population having a pet, and almost one-fourth of these pet owners having a cat.
- In the United States, 70% of households had a pet in 2021, further driving the demand for high-quality, nutritious cat food and snacks.
- The adoption rate for cats in the US is 72%, which is the same as in 2022 and three percentage points higher than in 2021. This data is based on the first quarter of 2023, as reported by Shelter Animals Count (SAC).
The trend of pet humanisation has led to an increased demand for high-quality, premium, and specialised cat food products. Pet owners are becoming more selective and seeking products tailored to address specific feline health concerns and dietary needs, such as weight management formulas, grain-free options, or those designed for cats with urinary traction infections and food allergies. This trend has resulted in the cat food market development and the emergence of new product offerings. Brands like Blue Buffalo, Wellness, and Merrick offer high-quality, premium cat food products that cater to specific dietary needs, such as weight management and hairball control.
Pet owners are increasingly seeking products that mirror their own dietary preferences, emphasising transparency and clean-label products. This shift towards natural and organic options is driven by the desire to provide cats with healthier and safer nutrition, free from artificial additives and fillers. Companies like Open Farm, Castor & Pollux, and Weruva offer cat food products that are made with natural, organic, and non-GMO ingredients.
Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the growth of e-commerce, with consumers increasingly turning to online channels for pet food and snacks. This trend has been driven by the convenience of online shopping, doorstep delivery, and the rising collaboration of industry giants with retail e-commerce players. Pet food manufacturers and retailers have expanded their online presence, with companies like Chewy, Petco, and PetSmart offering a wide range of cat food products and home delivery services.
In addition to these trends, it is essential to note that cat adoption rates have surged during the pandemic, leading to an increased demand for cat food and snacks. The growth in pet humanisation, where cats are considered as part of the family, has also contributed to the demand for high-quality, nutritious cat food and enticing snacks, aiding the cat food market growth.
