As pets increasingly occupy the role of family members in households worldwide, owners are seeking food options that align with their ethical beliefs, particularly those that avoid animal-based ingredients. The vegan movement and anthropomorphism of pets are key factors influencing this shift, encouraging pet owners to choose plant-based diets to ensure that no animals are harmed in the production process.

The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated this trend, with health-conscious individuals extending their organic and natural dietary preferences to their pets. The environmental impact of conventional animal-based pet foods, such as high energy consumption and waste generation, has also heightened consumer awareness, fostering demand for sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives.

Market Growth Drivers and Product Innovations

Key drivers of growth include increased consumer demand for transparency, with pet owners now expecting clear, accurate, and helpful product information. Manufacturers are responding by offering detailed insights into sourcing, processing, and nutritional content. Rigorous research and development efforts are critical to address nutritional gaps, enabling the creation of formulations that meet the dietary needs of pets without compromising taste or quality.

Among plant-based ingredients, pea proteins have emerged as a versatile and widely accepted source, bridging the gap for grain-free alternatives. Manufacturers are also innovating with kitchen-friendly components such as vinegar, celery, and cheese to extend shelf life while keeping ingredient lists concise. Collaborations with ingredient specialists are enhancing formulation processes and ensuring optimal nutrition for pets.

Regional Trends and Country Insights

The United States and Germany are expected to show steady growth, with CAGRs of 5.3% and 6.9%, respectively, through 2034, reflecting strong consumer interest in health-oriented and environmentally conscious products. India and Brazil are projected to witness even faster expansion, with CAGRs of 9.4% and 12.5%, driven by urbanization, cultural shifts toward vegetarianism, and a growing middle class increasingly attentive to pet welfare.

Segment Highlights

Dry plant-based pet food, or kibbles, is anticipated to dominate the market, holding a 25.3% share in 2024, thanks to its convenience, affordability, and nutritional balance. Among pets, senior cats are leading consumers of plant-based products, representing 75.1% of the cats' segment, as owners seek sustainable options that support long-term health. Retail remains the primary sales channel, with store-based sales accounting for 86.4% of the market in 2024.
