Dublin, Oct. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Cat Litter Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global cat litter products is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period (2021 - 2026). Accordingly, the prevailing covid-19 pandemic across the globe has haltered various operations in the industry such as procurement of raw materials, labor shortages, restrictions in trade resulting in supply chain disruptions. However, the need for pet owners to take care of their pets and provide necessary facilities has bolstered the growth of the segment through increased sales in the e-commerce segment. This is further anticipated to grow during the forecast period.
North America had the largest market share in 2019. Due to the increasing number of cat owners in the region, the region continues to be the leading market. Countries such as the United States and Canada are the major markets in the region. An increase in cat-owning households leads to a corresponding rise in demand for cat litter.
Furthermore, the expansion of the cat litter market is fuelled by a rise in the cat population and an increase in the number of multi-cat households. This is anticipated to drive demand for cat litter products. Moreover, self-cleaning cat litter helps to maintain cat hygiene despite the time constraints of the owner of the cat. The weather has a clear influence on litter purchases, the sales are more in rainy and winter seasons. Cat owners do not allow cats to go out due to harsh and adverse weather conditions, which is further boosting the demand for cat litters.
