UAE Cat Food Market to Grow at 7% During 2024-2032, Catalyzed by Growing Awareness Regarding Pet Health

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “UAE Cat Food Market Report by Product Type (Dry Food, Wet and Canned Food, Snacks and Treats), Ingredient Type (Animal Derivative, Plant Derivative, Cereals Derivative), Distribution Channel (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores, Online Stores, and Others) 2024-2032,” the UAE cat food market reached a value of US$ 49.4 Million in 2023. Cat food refers to the commercially produced food that is made up of plant and animal derivatives. These food products are available either in a dry extruded form that is generally packaged in multi-layered paper bags and cartons, or in a wet form, which is packed in aluminum or steel cans. They are fortified with essential nutrients, such as minerals, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, amino acids and vitamins, to meet the dietary requirements of cats. Consequently, their consumption is widely associated with boosting immunity, regulating digestion, improving metabolism and combating skin allergies. Apart from this, these foods aid in maintaining an appropriate weight, providing long-term wellness, and improving the overall health and life expectancy of cats.

UAE Cat Food Market Trends:

The market is primarily driven by the increasing number of nuclear families and the emergence of one-person households in the UAE, which has influenced individuals to adopt low-maintenance pets. Cats are regarded to be the most preferred type of pets in the country as they are well-suited to the regional climate. This, along with the high expendable incomes of the masses, has provided a thrust to the demand for good quality cat food. The growing awareness regarding the importance of pet health and the rising trend of pet humanization have provided a boost to the sales of premium value-added products. Consequently, this has impelled several key players to launch fortified multigrain, gluten-free, protein-specific and grain-free variants in the market to expand their product portfolio. The launch of innovative packaging solutions, such as re-closable bags, convenient stand-up pouches and single-serve pouches, along with the availability of cat food prepared using organic and natural ingredients, is also creating a positive outlook for the market. The market is further driven by the expansion of organized retail channels in the country that offer a wide variety of options at diverse price points. On account of these factors, the market value is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% during 2024-2032.
