Vegan Dog Food Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising trend of pet humanization around the world.

As more pet owners want to provide human-like products or experiences for their pets, the term "pet humanization" is becoming a globally accepted term in the pet industry. Pet owners consider their pets to be family members, so they demand nutritional benefits, high ingredient quality, improved digestibility, and animal safety in their pet food. This trend is increasing demand for high-quality, nutritionally dense pet food. The humanization of pets has raised public awareness of the importance of eating healthy. It has enabled pet owners to spend more on high-quality pet food products, as evidenced by a recent increase in pet-related spending.

• Growing trend of veganism and constant research and development activities

Veganism is not only gaining traction in the human food industry; it is also gaining traction in the pet care and pet food industries. A growing number of pet parents are becoming vegan because they believe vegan food products are more nutritious than conventional counterparts, and they are making the same decision when purchasing dog food. Leading players in the dog food flavouring market are heavily investing in research and development to increase the use of vegan ingredients in their products while ensuring that these ingredients have the same nutritional properties as meat-based variants.
