Growing demand for plant-based and nutrient-rich pet food is boosting sales of vegan cat food. As per ESOMAR-certified consulting firm Future Market Insights (FMI) the global vegan cat food market is anticipated to surpass US$ 10,560.40 Mn in 2021.
Increasing concerns regarding pet health are propelling demand for meat-free pet food alternatives. This trend is encouraging pet food producers to incorporate plant-based formulas such as pea protein in cat food products. Owing to this, FMI projects the vegan cat food market to expand at a positive 7.2% CAGR through 2031.
Prevalence of vegan diets across the globe has translated into increased sales of vegan cat food. Transparent ingredient lists is highly sought-after in human foods and this trend has proven critical in shaping pet owners’ preference for high-quality nutrients in pet food as well. Consequently, the focus on product advancements in plant-based kibble, treats, and wet food is at all-time high, creating opportunities for sales in vegan cat food.
The overall spike in pet ownership and per capita expenditure on pet food are chief factors providing tailwinds to vegan cat food sales. Unique processing techniques, reusable packagings such as pouches and stand-up bags, and product certifications will remain key variables influencing sales of vegan cat food.
As per FMI’s regional analysis, the U.S. is expected to dominate the vegan cat food market, reaching US$ 2,616.28 Mn in 2021. Growth can be attributed to increasing incidence of gluten allergy in pets, which is shifting the focus of pet-owners from processed food to vegan cat food.
“Growing prevalence of pet humanization, coupled with easy availability of vegan cat food through online channels are expected to propel sales in the global vegan cat food market between 2021 to 2031,” says the FMI analyst.
