Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 4.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.40% during 2025-2033. Growing pet ownership, increased knowledge of pet health, and a move toward high-end, organic, and functional pet food products are the key factors propelling the market. The market is also expanding as a result of shifting lifestyles, the need for convenience, and the increased emphasis on sustainability.

Spain Pet Food Market Trends:

Increasing Demand for Natural and Organic Pet Food

As Spaniards become increasingly health-conscious consumers and seek higher-quality pet products, consumers are moving toward natural and organic pet food. Pet owners' increased awareness of the ingredients in pet foods and their interest in providing their pets with the healthiest diet possible are fueling the trend. As premium, organic, and non-GMO ingredients are healthier and more sustainable, companies are offering pet food using these ingredients. For example, in February 2025, the Nutriment Company purchased Spanish pet food company Puromenu, marking its first foray into the Spanish market. Puromenu produces Biologically Appropriate Raw Food (BARF), fresh meat, treats, and supplements for cats and dogs. The acquisition aligns with TNC's expansion plan for increasing its footprint in fast-growing markets as well as for expanding its range of products. Puromenu's organic and natural recipes that are free of byproducts, grains, and artificial additives suit TNC's vision to supply high-quality natural pet food solutions. Furthermore, the demand for pet food devoid of artificial additives, preservatives, or coloring is growing rapidly. This increasing demand for natural and organic pet food is influencing the market by compelling manufacturers to innovate and bring healthier alternatives for pets.

Growing Pet Ownership

The increasing pet ownership in Spain is a key driving force for the pet food industry. As an increasing number of households bring pets into their homes, especially dogs and cats, demand for specialized and premium pet food grows. The phenomenon of pet humanization, whereby pets are considered family members, continues to drive this demand for high-quality, nutritionally rich food. For example, according to industry reports, the population of pets in Spain is expected to exceed 20.45 million in 2024. Close to half of Spanish families currently keep pets, with 39% of pet owners treating them like family. Pet food holds the largest market share of 71.54% of the overall pet industry and is projected to increase from USD 2.63 Billion (€2.43B) in 2024 to USD 3.24 Billion (€2.99B) by 2029. Furthermore, the growing awareness of pet owners regarding the health and wellness of their pets results in a transition towards specialty products such as organic, grain-free, and allergy-friendly food. This increased ownership of pets and changing pet owner needs help to drive the growth of Spain's pet food market, urging both domestic and foreign brands to innovate and adapt to these demands.
