(Food-Beverage-News.Com, February 05, 2020 ) The pet food ingredients market is estimated to be valued at USD 37.0 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 54.3 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2019 to 2025. Factors such as rise in the disposable income of the middle-class population has led to an increase in the spending capacity on pets. Pets are treated as companions to the owners, and increasing health concerns of their pets have encouraged them to opt for premium pet food products. Pet owners prefer buying high-quality and differentiated food products for their pets to provide them nutrition and variety in pet food.
The constituents of pet food products include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and other essential micronutrients. These constituents are derived from ingredients such as grains, vegetables, fruits, chicken meal, lamb meal, vitamins, and minerals. Other additives are also accompanied, which are used to enhance the color, flavor, and texture of the product. Furthermore, the expansion of pet superstores has made premium and super-premium pet food easily accessible. One of the emerging trends in the pet food industry is the incorporation of insects, as they are an excellent source of proteins. Additionally, vegan and grain-free pet food products have been gaining popularity in the pet food industry. These trends are expected to increase the demand of premium pet food ingredients.
