Global Grain-Free Pet Food Market - 2023-2030
Market Overview
The Global Grain-free Pet Food Market size reached US$ XX million in 2022 and is projected to witness lucrative growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2030. The market is growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
Globally rising pet ownership is expected to have a favorable effect on market expansion. Grain-free pet food is a type of pet food that contains alternative sources of carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes, peas, lentils, or chickpeas. The idea behind grain-free pet food is that it provides a more natural and species-appropriate diet for pets since grains are not a natural part of their ancestral diet.
Proponents of grain-free pet food argue that it may be easier for pets to digest and may also reduce the risk of certain health problems, such as obesity and diabetes.
Market Dynamics
The Growing Humanization of Pets
The demand for grain-free pet food is rising with the increase in the adoption of pets. With the increase in the humanization of pets, pet owners are becoming more aware of the quality of ingredients used in pet food. They want to feed their pets nutritious food free of grains and other ingredients that might be harmful to their health.
Some pet owners believe that grain-free diets are healthier for their pets like cats, dogs, etc. because they more closely resemble the diets of wild dogs and cats. They believe that grain-free diets are easier to digest and can help prevent health issues such as allergies, digestive problems and weight gain.
The humanization of pets has led to an increase in the pet spending of pet owners. They are willing to pay more for premium pet food.
The Increasing Pet Spending of the Respective Pet Owners
According to the Binghamton Investment Fund report, more than 67% of U.S. households own a pet. Consumers are growing their interest in health and wellness and they want the same for their pets also. As a result, pet owners are not thinking twice before spending more money on their pets. According to a study by Gale, who is a business solutions agency, found that 44% of millennials see their pets as practice before they have their child.
Additionally, the increasing disposable amounts of consumers are also encouraging them to spend more on their pets’ wellness and nutrition. For instance, according to Petkeen, approximately 6 lakhs of pets are adopted every year in India and the pet food market in India is over 310 million dollars which ultimately grows the grain-free pet food market simultaneously.
