COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Due to prolonged lockdowns in many locations, limits on international commerce, the closure of production facilities, travel bans, supply chain constraints, and a scarcity of raw materials, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the manufacturing sector's operating efficiency. The pandemic has affected the organic pet food market because production facilities have been shut down, raw material costs have increased, there is a labor shortage, supply chains have been disrupted, and the economy is unstable.

Market Growth Factors

Foodborne illness cases are on the rise.

To protect pets' health, hygienic and healthful pet food is essential. As a result, pet owners like to purchase high-quality pet food. Compared to conventional goods, food with holistic, organic, and natural labels tends to draw more consumers. Often, by-products of the food manufacturing industry, like chicken skin and bones, are used to make pet meals. However, if the raw material employed is treated with additional antibiotics, such procedures might result in foodborne diseases. In order to stop the spread of foodborne illnesses that may be brought on by pet food, the supply chain must be managed from the first handling step to the last.

The function of social media and blogging in pet food

Internet platforms are becoming a common occurrence. Pet owners often use social media in their everyday lives, and many of them use it to study things before buying them for their dogs. Customers that shop online utilizes a variety of search engines, including Google, Amazon, YouTube, and others, in addition to asking friends and social media influencers for suggestions. In light of this, social media is becoming a crucial tool for online pet food companies for various reasons, including the ability to instantly notify clients about the most current information from their firm. This supports the growth of the regional market.

Market Restraining Factors

Regulations that are not standardised impede international commerce.

Pet food businesses are required to file patent and approval applications in order to introduce new products in various nations. Significant losses occur when organisations that grant patents for newly launched products, such the European Patent Office and the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, take too long to provide authorization. These issues may thus limit the expansion of the pet food market as a whole, which would hamper its expansion throughout the forecasted period.

Pet Type Outlook

Based on pet type, the organic pet food market is segmented into dogs, cats and others. In 2021, the cats segment acquired a substantial revenue share in the organic pet food market. This is because cats are more accessible to teach than dogs and may be left alone for long periods. Also, compared to owning a dog, owning cat is significantly less expensive. Also, market participants are profiting from the growing awareness of companion animals' health, particularly cats. For instance, Inaba Foods (USA) Inc., with goods sold worldwide, is one of Japan's most well-known brands of luxury cat meals and treats.

Food Type Outlook

Due to consumers' rising inclination to see their dogs as part of the family, rising consumer spending on premium pet food products, and new product advances, the top rivals in the organic dry pet food category also have a sizable market potential.

Sales Channel Outlook

On the basis sales channel, the organic pet food market is bifurcated into supermarkets & hypermarkets, specialized pet shops, online sales channel, and others. In 2021, the supermarkets & hypermarkets segment recorded a remarkable revenue share in the organic pet food market. Supermarkets and hypermarkets are large retail establishments that provide packaged foods, fresh produce, dairy products, and groceries all under one roof. Also, they provide appealing discounts and offers to their devoted clients. These shops provide a broad range of goods, and consumers are free to choose anything they want.
