Market Overview

Pet food is animal feed specifically formulated for consumption by domesticated animals. It is readily accessible for purchase in pet stores and supermarkets and is customized to meet the nutritional requirements of various types of pets, such as dogs, cats, birds, fish, and other small mammals. The pet food market in Middle East and Africa was estimated at USD 1,436 million in 2022 and is expected to hit USD 2,313 million by 2028, registering a CAGR of 8.5% from 2023 to 2028 as per the latest market estimates. The presence of pets in individuals’ lives has been shown to confer significant benefits pertaining to personal well-being. Humans readily imbue companion animals with socially-supportive attributes-projecting nurturing qualities that psychologically engender perceived social support from said pets. Concurrently, contemporary cultural perspectives have witnessed the proliferation of humanized perceptions of companion creatures. A substantial proportion of self-identified dog and cat owners regard their pets as fully-fledged members integrated within family units, elevating these animals to parity with human members in familial hierarchies. This anthropomorphizing of pets has surfaced as the primary catalyst driving recent growth within the lucrative pet care industry, including the burgeoning premium pet food market.

As pets garner progressively more elevated statuses approximating human members within family structures, the attentiveness afforded to their health, hygiene and caretaking takes on amplified significance for owners. Correspondingly, this shifting mindset has produced sharply escalating consumer demand for high-quality pet food products uniquely formulated to optimize a pet’s well-being. Pet owners demonstrate greater willingness to invest in premium nutrition options aligning with their strengthened commitment to furnish beloved animal companions with maximum care apropos of any human dependent. Thus the proliferation of humanized perceptions, with attendant premiumization of pet upkeep, continues to expand the upper echelons of the pet care market-a trajectory expected to persist as cultural attitudes evolve further.
