Cat Food Market Outlook 2025-2034: Key Trends, Growth Drivers, and Market Share

"What industry-specific factors are fueling the growth of the cat food market?
The cat food market's expansion is expected to be fuelled by a growing number of cat-owning households. These are people who have at least one cat as a pet and do not possess any other animals. The health and longevity of cats hinge on the quality of their food. Therefore, a surge in cat ownership will directly trigger higher demand for cat food. Case in point, Animal Medicines Australia, an NGO based in Australia, reported that pet ownership saw a considerable hike in 2022. They noted a surge from 39% in 2021 to 28,730.8 pet owners in 2022, an increase of 24%. This clearly illustrates the rising trend of pet adoption and investment in their care. Thus, the upward swing in cat ownership is bolstering the growth of the cat food market.
