The pet treat market has shown consistent growth over the past decade and is expected to maintain this momentum with a modest CAGR of 5.50%. Surpassing expectations, the market value reached an impressive US$ 8,350.5 million in 2024.
Looking ahead, the trend is forecasted to persist, with the market projected to soar to US$ 14,231 million by 2034. This anticipated growth is attributed to the rising awareness among pet owners regarding their pets’ health and wellness, leading to increased demand for premium, nutritious pet treats.
Pet treats are a type of dietary supplements given to dogs and cats for snacking. As pets get bored quickly and very easily, to keep them engaged, active, and entertained, pet owners choose to treat them with pet treats.
Pet owners nowadays have become more cautious than before about what their pets are eating. Hence, they are becoming more aware of the ingredients used in pet treats. In response to this, manufacturers are launching organic pet treats in the market.
