Pet Food Packaging Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Material Type (Plastic, Paper and Paperboard and Other Material Types), Food Type (Wet Food, Dry Food and Other Food Types), Animal Type (Dogs, Cats and Other Animal Types), Packaging Form (Pouches, Bags and Other Packaging Forms) and Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Pet Food Packaging Market is accounted for $11.02 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $18.70 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period. Pet food packaging keeps items fresh, long-lasting, and clean. It helps to keep the food contamination-free and ensures freshness & hygiene of animal feed. The market for pet food packaging is expanding as a result of several main causes, including rising pet adoption rates, higher income levels among pet owners, changing lifestyles, need for straightforward packaging, and the tendency towards ""humanising"" animals. Manufacturers of pet food packaging products have improved their product lines over time as a result of consumers' increased desire for convenience above cost.

According to the National Pet Owners Survey of 2021-2022 by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), about 70% of US households, or about 90.5 million families, own pets.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growth in pet adoption and rising awareness of animal health

The Pet Food Manufacturers' Association estimates that 12 million UK homes have pets. The pet food business has concentrated on preserving the quality of pet food packaging, such as spill-proof and labelling innovations such identifying metabolizable energy. This is due to the surge in pet adoptions and the increased awareness of animal health among owners. Animal lovers require appealing, educational, and protective items, just like any other consumer of food. Additionally, pet food standards from the FDA have evolved through time and now resemble those for human food. Manufacturers prioritise offering user desires, such as intelligent pet food packaging. Thus, the packaging of these pet food items offers a positive outlook for the market for pet food packaging.

Restraint:

Packaging issues

The problems with packaging are the key factor impeding the growth of the pet food packaging market. Many nations forbid the use of plastic bags because they can harm the environment and because food is sometimes packaged in them. As a result, many people are becoming more conscious of the negative effects of plastic bags and refraining from purchasing food in them. Despite the fact that plastic bags can be recycled, doing so is more expensive than having the plastic itself made. There is a considerable probability that the package will get damaged during transport.

Opportunity:

Innovative ideas of the manufacturers

The new ideas of the manufacturers in using the correct ingredients to keep the balanced diet for the pet is the significant opportunity driving the growth of the pet food packaging market. Recently, manufacturing organisations have also come up with innovative ways for enhancing food flavour by adding new flavours. Second, the expansion of the pet food packaging market is made possible by the rise in the sale of pet foods through online and E-Commerce sites.

Threat:

Hazardous effects of pet food packaging

The negative consequences of pet food packaging are projected to impede the expansion of the global pet food packaging market. It is well recognised that this pesticide is bad for human health. When people are exposed to herbicides that contain Pet Food Packaging for an extended period of time, the majority of these herbicides irritate their eyes, which leads to skin allergies. Chronic symptoms of pet food packaging include anaemia, cancer, and tumours. Pet food packaging has been identified by the US Environmental Protection Agency as a possible human carcinogen.

Covid-19 Impact

The recent years have seen a significant disruption in the pet care industry as a result of the rapid expansion of online commerce. The COVID-19 pandemic also accelerated change and markedly increased online pet food sales. In addition to the anticipated industry advances for 2019, the start of 2020 has brought challenges for plastic manufacturers in the midst of the Coronavirus outbreak. The British Plastics Federation (BPF), for instance, conducted a poll of its members in March 2020 to show how the coronavirus pandemic affected the manufacture of UK plastics.

The plastic segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The plastic segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. An increase in the consumption of upright bags and pouches is the key factor driving the demand for plastics. Another important aspect influencing the rise of plastics material is the industry's rising popularity of flexible packaging such as polyethylene Terephthalate.

The bags segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The bags segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the firms' increasing focus on reducing the usage of expensive resources in the product's manufacturing, the creation of the bags is encouraged. Flexible materials are currently not frequently gathered by kerbside recycling systems, however bags were to be widely recycled.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. With the rise of nuclear households, the pet food business in Asia-Pacific is booming. In this regard, the idea of humanization is probably going to support the expansion of the local market in the near future. Probably the three biggest markets in the Asia Pacific are China, Japan, and India.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to increased pet humanization and pet ownership, the increase of private label store brands, and rising urbanisation are some of the key factors propelling the North American pet food packaging industry. A further factor driving up per capita pet spending in this market is the increase of non-traditional households without kids and high levels of discretionary income. Additionally, pet owners can afford to buy more value-added goods, which causes a decline in the pet food industry as consumers migrate to branded goods.

Key players in the market

Some of the key players profiled in the Pet Food Packaging Market include American Packaging Corporation, Ardagh Group SA, Mondi PLC, Berry Global Inc., Coveris Holdings, Crown Holdings, ProAmpac LLC, Silgan Holdings Inc., Amcor PLC, Constantia Flexibles Group GmbH, Polymerall LLC, Sonoco Products Company, Wipak, Ball corporation, Bemis company and Mead Westvaco corporation.
