Indonesia Pet Food Market Size to Hit USD 2.54 Billion by 2034 | With a 4.69% CAGR

IMARC Group, a leading global market research and management consulting firm, has published its latest market intelligence report on the Indonesia Pet Food Market. The Indonesia pet food market size grew from USD 1.65 Billion in 2025 to USD 1.76 Billion in 2026 and is projected to reach USD 2.54 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.69% during 2026-2034. Growth is being driven by increasing pet ownership, rising disposable incomes, humanization of pets, demand for premium, organic and functional food, increasing e-commerce, and rising health awareness about pets.

Pet food in Indonesia is benefiting from a growing middle class, with the middle class and those approaching middle class status comprising 66.35% of the population in 2024 according to BPS-Statistics Indonesia, providing a larger consumer base with higher spending power. This economic shift has fueled the humanization of pets, with owners treating pets as part of the family and increasingly choosing premium, healthy, and specialized diets. Increasing knowledge about pet health and nutrition has raised preference for functional and organic pet food containing vitamins, minerals, and probiotics, while local brands are innovating with grain-free, protein-rich and breed-specific formulations. At the same time, the expansion of e-commerce, digital payments, and modern retail, together with government initiatives that promote high-quality and safety standards for pet food, is improving access and building consumer confidence across the archipelago.

Indonesia Pet Food Market Trends and Drivers:

Demand for pet food in Indonesia is being underpinned by the humanization of pets and the shift toward premium and functional nutrition. As owners treat pets as family, they are willing to spend more on high-quality nutrition, with growing interest in digestive health, joint care, and skin and coat maintenance, as well as grain-free, high-protein, breed-specific and organic diets without artificial preservatives and fillers. Pet Fair Southeast Asia noted that pet ownership and humanization in Indonesia stabilized in 2024 with a 6% increase in value and volume sales.

The region's structural differentiator is the diversification of pet ownership and specialty pet food. Household ownership of exotic pets such as rabbits, birds, reptiles and fish is rising alongside traditional dogs and cats, creating demand for niche, species-specific diets. The growth of ornamental fish and aquascaping hobbyists has lifted demand for premium fish food, while reptile and bird owners are driving products such as insect-based proteins and fortified birdseed mixes, and age-specific, senior and allergy-sensitive formulations are gaining traction.

A third driver is online retailing and the growth of Indonesia's digital economy. Platforms such as Shopee, Tokopedia and Lazada offer competitive prices, a wide range of brands, home delivery and subscription models, while social media and influencer marketing guide purchase decisions. The International Trade Administration reports that Indonesia's digital economy is among the fastest growing in Southeast Asia, with a projected value of over USD 130 Billion by 2025, and national quality and safety rules for pet food are encouraging manufacturers to upgrade their offerings, a dynamic that is set to intensify over the coming decade.

Government Schemes and Regulatory Initiatives Driving Demand:

● Pet Food Quality and Safety Requirements: Pet food produced for commercial distribution in Indonesia must meet minimum standards or technical requirements and safety for consumption and comply with good manufacturing practices, and anyone producing pet food or its ingredients for commercial distribution must obtain a business license. These requirements support product quality and consumer confidence, in line with the government initiatives the report highlights.

● Ministry of Agriculture Import Framework: Importing pet food into Indonesia requires a recommendation letter from the Ministry of Agriculture, and importers must hold a Veterinary Control Number (NKV) for storage facilities, with imported products labeled in Bahasa Indonesia and English. As of November 2025, 57 U.S. pet food plants were approved to export to Indonesia, reflecting an oversight system that international brands must navigate to reach Indonesian shelves.

● National Digital Economy and AI Agenda: Indonesia's government views digitalization and AI as new engines of growth, with the digital economy approaching USD 100 Billion according to the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, 15,000 AI-ready talents being prepared in 2026, and the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework Agreement expected to be signed in 2026. This agenda supports the e-commerce and digital payment infrastructure through which pet food is increasingly sold.
