What Are the Essential Drivers Propelling the Pet Raw Food Market Forward?
The growing pet ownership is expected to propel the growth of the pet raw food market going forward. Pet ownership is domesticated animals' legal responsibility and maintenance for companionship, protection, or enjoyment. Pet ownership is rising due to several factors, such as companionship and emotional support, awareness of animal welfare, and social media influence. Pet owners prioritize raw pet food by choosing natural, nutritional products due to fewer additives and alignment with pets' natural diets, emphasizing high-quality, natural foods similar to wild diets. For instance, in 2024, according to the report published by Shelter Animals Count, a US-based non-profit organization, in 2024, total dog and cat adoptions reached 4,192,443, including 2 million dogs and 2 million cats, reflecting a slight increase of 0.4 percent or 17,153 more adoptions compared to 2023. Therefore, growing pet ownership is driving the growth of the pet raw food market.
