Market Overview

According to the latest data, the market size of the pet food industry in Europe is expected to rise by USD 13.4 billion with a CAGR of 5.7% by the end of 2028. The presence of companion animals in individuals’ domestic environments confers myriad benefits pertaining to human health and subjective well-being. Humans readily attribute socially-supportive qualities to their pets-attributes that psychologically engender a tangible sense of receiving social support from said animals. In contemporary times, a substantial majority of self-identified dog and cat owners regard their pets as fully integrated members of their family units, ascribing these animals parity with human members in familial hierarchies. This rapidly proliferating trend of anthropomorphizing pets has emerged as a pivotal driver shaping the greater pet care industry, including the pet food market.

As pets garner more humanized status as family members within households, the comprehensiveness of their care and upkeep takes on greater significance for owners. This shifting perception has catalyzed surging consumer demand for high-quality pet food products. Pet owners, responding to pets’ elevated roles, seek nutritionally balanced food options aligning with their strengthened commitment to provide beloved animal companions with maximum care and well-being. The proliferation of this mentality continues to expand the premium pet food market as owners transfer attitudes traditionally reserved for human relations to pet relations.
