There is a growing trend of humanizing pets in the Asia-Pacific, like what has been observed in other parts of the world. Some of the factors affecting the market are increasing pet ownership and humanization, growing awareness of nutritional needs, and quality control and safety.

The fundamental driver of the market is the rising number of pet owners globally. As more people welcome pets into their homes, the demand for pet food naturally increases. The trend of pet humanization, in which pets are considered important family members, increases demand for high-quality pet food. As more people bring pets into their homes, the market benefits from an expanded customer base. Increased pet ownership and humanization drive substantial growth in the market. Moreover, with increased awareness of pet nutrition, pet owners are more likely to choose pet food that meets their pets' specific nutritional requirements. Veterinarian recommendations and disseminating nutritional knowledge play a significant role in shaping consumer choices. As a result of the growing awareness of nutritional needs, the market is anticipated to increase significantly.

However, maintaining consistent quality and safety in pet food production is a critical challenge. Contaminations, recalls, and quality control issues can harm a brand's reputation and trust. Contaminated or unsafe pet food can pose health risks to pets, which are beloved family members for many owners. Adverse health effects, including foodborne illnesses, can lead to emotional distress and medical expenses for pet owners. Ingredient supply chain disruptions are a significant challenge that hampers the growth of the market.
