Global Dog Food Market Trends:
The rising awareness regarding the dietary needs of dogs among pet owners is driving the global market. Moreover, the growing focus on pet health and nutrition and the rising dog ownership rates is contributing to the market. Besides, the growing prevalence of various health conditions among dogs is acting as another growth-inducing factor. In response to this, veterinarians are recommending low-calorie and value-added dog food products to enhance dogs' nutritional intake, thus propelling the demand for dog food across the globe. In line with this, several major companies are introducing products specific to the breed, age, and size of dogs in smaller, disposable, single-serve containers in order to offer convenience to both the pets and owners, which is influencing the demand. Along with this, several leading players are developing organic variants using ingredients that are grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, or antibiotics, which is creating a positive market outlook. The market is further driven by the initiatives taken by the governments of several countries to promote the use of safe and healthy ingredients to improve the overall wellness of dogs. Along with this, various non-governing agencies are heavily investing in the development of dog shelters for the well-being of stray dogs, further impacting the market favorably. Other factors, such as the rising popularity of social media and the advent of home delivery models, are also influencing the market.
