Report Overview
The global dog food market size was USD 65.56 Billion in 2025. Rise in pet adoption among Gen Z and millennial households, who actively seek ethically sourced and nutrient-rich products, is influencing demand for sustainable dog food across online and offline retail channels. As a result, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.90% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to reach a value of USD 96.12 Billion by 2035.
Market growth is driven by a rising trend of pet humanisation and a shift towards clean-label, functional foods for dogs. According to the American Pet Products Association, the United States consumers spent over USD 65.8 billion on pet food and treats in 2024, reflecting a strong consumer inclination towards pet wellness. This trend is mirrored globally, with pet ownership rising in Asia-Pacific and Latin America, owing to growing middle-class populations and urban lifestyles.
Several governments are also rolling out regulatory frameworks that favour pet food safety and quality, boosting the dog food market development. For instance, the European Union’s Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 on the marketing and use of feed ensures consistent labelling and transparency across member states. Meanwhile, China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) has strengthened guidelines for animal food safety, indirectly supporting premium product development in the region.
In addition, the surge in demand for personalised nutrition for dogs has redefined the global dog food market dynamics. Brands are leveraging AI-driven platforms to offer breed-specific, age-based, and condition-focused meals, with players like Nom Nom and Ollie taking the charge. Dog food, which was once a shelf-based commodity, is now a subscription-first, direct-to-consumer (DTC) industry with immense B2B potential. Suppliers, logistics partners, and packaging firms are exploring new touchpoints in this evolving ecosystem.
