Dublin, Feb. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Pet Food Ingredients Market by Ingredient (Meat & Meat Products Cereals, Vegetables & Fruits Fats, and Additives), Source (Animal-based, Plant Derivatives, and Synthetic), Pet (Dogs, Cats, and Fish), Form and Region - Forecast to 2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global market for pet food ingredients is estimated at USD 34.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 47.4 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. Mirroring trends in human food, there is an increasing emphasis on health and wellness in pet nutrition. Pet owners are actively looking for ingredients that promote overall well-being and longevity, and address specific health requirements of their pets. The global surge in pet ownership, especially in urban settings, plays a pivotal role as more individuals adopt pets, leading to a heightened demand for both pet food and its constituent ingredients. 
Pet ownership boom fuels demand for high-quality ingredients
The surge in pet ownership, particularly in urban areas, has led to a paradigm shift in pet nutrition trends. Pet owners are now regarding their animals as integral family members, sparking a growing demand for higher-quality and diverse pet food ingredients. This shift towards a more family-centric approach is evident in the willingness of pet owners to invest in premium and specialty pet foods that boast innovative and superior ingredients. Consequently, this increased demand for premiumization is driving manufacturers to revamp their ingredient formulations, ushering in a new era of pet nutrition. The industry is witnessing a transformation as consumers seek out pet foods that contribute not only to the overall well-being and longevity of their pets but also address specific health needs.
In 2022, plant derivatives stood as the second-largest segment within the by source of pet food ingredients
Pet caregivers are becoming more attuned to potential allergies and sensitivities in their pets, driving a preference for plant-based ingredients that offer alternatives to common allergens present in animal-based products. The ethical considerations of pet owners regarding the sourcing of ingredients for pet food are on the rise. Plant-derived sources are frequently seen as more ethical, resulting in a notable shift in consumer preferences. In response to pet owners seeking diverse options to meet their pets' tastes and preferences, manufacturers are incorporating plant-derived ingredients to introduce a broad spectrum of flavors and textures in pet food.
Within the ingredients segment, Meat and Meat Products segment holds the most substantial share
The dominance of meat and meat products in the pet food ingredient segment is primarily propelled by their rich composition of essential nutrients, including proteins, vitamins, and minerals crucial for the comprehensive health and well-being of pets. The inherent palatability of meat enhances the overall appeal of pet food, as its taste and aroma contribute to increased acceptance by pets, promoting better consumption and fulfilling their dietary requirements. With a high biological value, the protein in meat provides a well-balanced and complete profile of essential amino acids, making it a remarkably efficient source of protein that supports pets' growth and muscle development. Considering the carnivorous nature of many pets, especially dogs and cats, a meat-based diet aligns seamlessly with their dietary preferences and nutritional necessities, rendering it a popular and effective choice in formulating pet food.
