“Keeping a pet and spending on its care have a cultural as well as social importance in Asia Pacific, leading to a high count of pets here,” states an analyst. Due to the growing awareness pertaining to pet health, together with the increasing disposable income of consumers, the demand for pet food in Asia Pacific has been witnessing a tremendous rise and is expected to remain increasing over the coming years.

Apart from this, the increasing palatability of pet food products, due to the intensifying competition between producers, is also attracting a significant amount of demand, leading to a remarkable growth in this market in the long term.

Although representing a bright future, the pet food market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to face quite a few hurdles during the forecast period. The main among them is the growing trend of smaller pets. As smaller pets require less amount of food, the consumption will reduce automatically, causing an adverse impact on the Asia Pacific pet food market in the near future. Other than this, stringent government rules implemented to regulate the quality of pet food are also projected to hinder the growth of this market considerably over the next few years, states the research report.
