Segment Analysis
By Pet Type
The Global Pet Food Market is segmented by pet type into cats, dogs, fish, and others. In 2022, the dog segment held the majority share of the market revenue. This dominance is due to heightened consumer awareness of pet health issues, leading to increased focus on dog weight maintenance and improvement. Consumers rely heavily on branded products, and manufacturers are expanding into the premium food segment to boost profit margins.
By Product Type
The market is segmented by product type into dry food, wet food, and snacks & treats. In 2022, the dry food segment dominated and is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. Dry food is favored for its benefits, including crunchiness and chewability, which are important for pet health, and it does not require refrigeration. Additionally, the high moisture content helps maintain pets’ hydration and urinary tract health, driving the demand for dry pet food.
