Malaysia Pet Care Market 2025

The country’s improving economic conditions, marked by a stable GDP growth rate, easing inflation, and steady disposable incomes, have provided a supportive environment for the pet food and pet products sectors. This growth is further fueled by the expanding pet population, particularly among cats, while dog, bird, and fish populations have increased more gradually. The trend of pet owners turning to prepared food for their pets has also accelerated, driven largely by the convenience factor and busy lifestyles. This shift is especially prominent in the cat food segment. While dry food remains the preferred choice due to its affordability and convenience, a growing number of pet owners are also combining dry food with wet food, signaling a balanced approach to pet nutrition.

As the pet population grows, so does the shift in consumer behavior, with a significant portion of cat owners now feeding their pets prepared food – a trend that has been gaining momentum over the past 15 years. Despite this, a majority of dog owners still rely on home-cooked meals or scraps, mainly to manage costs. However, the proportion of dog owners switching to prepared food is steadily increasing, with many opting to mix packaged food with homemade meals. This shift aligns with the broader pet humanization trend observed globally, where pets are increasingly seen as family members. Pet owners are becoming more conscious of their pets’ diets, seeking variety, nutritional value, and regular treats, which has sustained growth in the market.

Despite the overall growth, some economic pressures have led to a shift in purchasing behavior. In particular, cat owners have begun trading down from mid-priced dry cat food to more affordable economy options, although the price of economy products has been rising faster than mid-priced alternatives. A similar trend has been observed in the dog food segment, where many owners have downgraded from mid-priced to economy dry dog food. This shift is largely driven by price sensitivity, although the demand for premium pet food remains strong among a loyal consumer base. These premium customers prioritize high-quality ingredients, nutritional benefits, and product transparency, with an increasing number of dog owners opting for specialized products, such as hypoallergenic formulas and those enriched with superfoods and supplements. Additionally, eco-consciousness is becoming an important factor for many pet owners, who are willing to pay a premium for brands that align with their sustainability values.
