Market Trends:

As pet food aids in combating skin allergies and infections and enhancing the overall health as well as the life expectancy of pets, pet owners in the United States are increasingly seeking products that address these health concerns. Additionally, owing to the increasing awareness of harmful preservatives incorporated in pet food, owners are becoming extremely cautious about the ingredients and demanding premium and organic pet food variants. Consequently, a rise in the demand for pet food comprising organic ingredients and fewer fillers is strengthening the market for organic pet food items that are free from pesticides, artificial flavors or genetically modified organisms. Apart from this, manufacturers are focusing on resourcing ethically-viable products and incorporating changes in the manufacturing process. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach US$ 36.0 Billion by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of 4.6% during 2019-2024.
