Plant-Based Pet Food Market to Surpass USD 57.3 billion by 2034, Driven by Ethical Pet Ownership, Sustainability

The global plant-based pet food market is on a trajectory of significant growth, with a new market outlook report forecasting a valuation of USD 57.3 billion by 2034. The industry, valued at USD 26.9 billion in 2024, is projected to expand at a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8% over the next decade, according to a recent market analysis.

This rapid expansion is fueled by a confluence of consumer trends, including the rising vegan movement, the humanization of pets, and growing awareness of environmental and health impacts. Pet owners are increasingly extending their ethical and dietary beliefs to their animal companions, seeking products free from animal-based raw materials to ensure no animals are harmed or mistreated in production.

Key Market Drivers & Highlights:

• Ethical Consumerism: The vegan movement and the anthropomorphism of pets are compelling pet owners to align their purchasing decisions with their personal values, opting for diets that reduce their pet's environmental footprint.

• Post-Pandemic Health Consciousness: Following the COVID-19 pandemic, a surge in consumer demand for natural and organic diets has extended to pets, with owners recognizing the potential health benefits of plant-based nutrition, such as reduced allergies and improved weight management.

• Nutritional Innovation: Manufacturers are actively addressing the primary market limitation-nutritional gaps-through intensive research and development. Pea proteins, a versatile and compatible ingredient, are emerging as a key solution to provide essential protein in grain-free formulations.

• Regional Growth Hotspots: While the U.S. and Germany are expected to show steady growth with CAGRs of 5.3% and 6.9% respectively, emerging markets like India (9.4% CAGR) and Brazil (12.5% CAGR) are set to experience explosive growth. This is driven by shifting cultural preferences, urbanization, and rising disposable incomes.

Competitive Landscape: A Two-Tiered Market Structure

The plant-based pet food market is defined by a two-tiered competitive structure, creating a dynamic and diverse ecosystem.

• Organized Tier (40% Market Share): This segment is dominated by large, multinational corporations with annual revenues exceeding USD 5 million. Major players like Benevo, Wysong, Evanger's Dog & Cat Food, and V-Planet command this tier with their extensive production capacities, advanced R&D, and global distribution networks. These companies are investing in online visibility and strategic acquisitions to broaden their product lines and consolidate market share. For example, PawCo Foods Inc. recently launched new plant-based dog food brands, LuxBites and InstaBites, and the UK's Omni expanded into Western Europe with new vegan meat options for dogs.

• Unorganized Tier (60% Market Share): Comprising local and niche players with revenues under USD 5 million, this tier holds a significant market share. These smaller companies are vital for catering to specialized dietary needs and local preferences. Their agility in adapting to consumer trends allows for the introduction of unique and innovative product mixes, ensuring a wide variety of options for pet owners.

Market Outlook

The press release highlights the increasing demand for sustainable pet food and the shift towards plant-based diets for cats and dogs. The sales channel analysis reveals that store-based retail channels hold the majority of the market share (86.4%), with supermarkets being the most popular point of purchase (42.0% in 2024). Kibbles, or dry plant-based pet food, remain the most popular product type, accounting for a 25.3% value share due to their convenience, long shelf life, and affordability.

The market outlook underscores a clear trend: pet owners, particularly millennials and single-person households, are willing to invest in premium, plant-based products that align with their ethical and health-conscious lifestyles. The industry is poised for continued innovation, with manufacturers focused on creating nutritionally complete formulations that satisfy both pet health and owner values.
