The global pet food market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. On one hand, COVID-19 imposed a negative impact on the supply chains. Due to the restrictions in the movement of raw materials, the pet food industry suffered initially in terms of supply and cash flow. On the other hand, demand for the pet food segment experienced steady growth in many parts of the world as people adopted more pets with the increasing desire for companionship during the lockdown. To address this demand, the players in the market have shifted their focus from retail stores to e-commerce platforms by growing their investments in developing their websites.

The pet food industry has been performing well, even when the economic downturn. Over the long term,   humanization trends are anticipated to remain the major drivers for market growth during the forecast period. Due to the rising pet humanization trend globally, there is a rising interest of pet owners over their pet health and nutrition, which in turn is estimated to accelerate the sales of organic, premium, and custom-made products over the study period.
