The global pet food market generated revenue of $68,109 million in 2014, and is expected to garner $92,747 million by 2022, registering a CAGR of 4.1% from 2016 to 2022.

The global pet food market is driven by factors such as rising trend of nuclear families, rapid humanization of pets, and increased awareness about pet health. In addition, increase in ownership of pets in developing nations and rise in e-commerce sales offer opportunities for the pet food market players. However, increasing concerns about pet obesity and pet food recalls by companies hamper the growth of the global pet food market.

The government of various countries have taken initiatives to promote the use of safe and healthy ingredients to improve the overall wellness of pets. For instance, the Japanese Government implemented the Law for Ensuring the Safety of Pet Food (Law No. 83 of 2008) for pet food manufacturers, importers, and wholesalers to protect the pet health and regulate the manufacturing process. Such initiatives would continue to propel the overall pet food market size.

The demand for transparency during purchasing of pet food products has increased among consumers, owing to the ongoing concerns about pet health. Therefore, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ensures that the ingredients used in pet foods are enlisted on the labels based on weight. In addition, it assesses claims on pet foods such as "maintains urinary tract health," "low magnesium," and "hairball control."
