Cat Litter Market, By Product Type (Clumping, Non-clumping), By Raw Material (Clay, Silica), By Distribution Channel (Specialized Pet Shops, Internet Sales, Hypermarkets, Other Distribution Channels), By Geography (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Cat litter is available in a variety of different types. Some types are clumping, while others are non-clumping. Cat litter has traditionally been made of clay, a natural mineral that absorbs moisture. This clay is not flushable, so some brands have turned to alternative materials, like silica crystals. But clay has the disadvantage of taking much longer to biodegrade. Moreover, it can be dusty and hard to carry.
Market Dynamics:
Growing cat ownership is one of the key factors driving growth of the global cat litter market. According to the Canine Journal, in 2018, there were an estimated 470 million pet dogs and 370 million pet cats worldwide. In 2020, there were an estimated 89.82 million pet dogs in Europe and in 2017, there were an estimated 84.6 million pet dogs in China, with the population estimated to exceed 136 million by 2022. In 2019-2020, 67% of U.S. households owned a pet, which is an estimated 84.9 million homes. Also, increasing disposable income is another key factor expected to drive the growth of this market.
On the other hand, increasing cost of raw materials is projected to hamper the cat litter market growth.
