Vegan Cat Food Industry to Experience Significant Growth, Reaching USD 17.16 Billion by 2033

Vegan Cat Food

The vegan cat food market is forecasted to expand at 6% CAGR over the estimated period, as per FMI’s analysis. The industry’s size is predicted to reach a market value of US$ 9,291 million in 2023.

Growing ethical concerns among the masses related to the killing of animals for food are giving an impetus to market growth. Another factor fuelling the demand for vegan cat food is the perception of a plant-based diet as a nutrient-rich and healthy option for animals and humans alike.

A large proportion of environment-conscious pet owners are opting for vegan cat food to leave a relatively small carbon footprint behind, as opposed to animal products. Alternate fat sources, like coconut oil, can be seen replacing animal-based fats. This is a significant factor since cats require fat to maintain a high level of energy and to maintain their skin and coat health.

Another important market-propellant is the rising cognizance regarding the health benefits associated with a vegan diet for both animals and humans. A vegan diet is considered healthy than one including meat and dairy products, due to reduced saturated fats and cholesterol and high levels of antioxidants and fibre.

Surging prices of dairy and meat products are also pushing people toward vegan cat food. Vegan cat food represents an affordable option in light of the rising prices of non-vegetarian products.

Manufacturers are relying on the innovation of their vegan cat food product line as a key strategy to gain many customers. The producers are constantly exploring new formulations for cat food as the demand for new items in the cat food portfolio is rising. Additionally, increasing investments in the advertisement of the product is expected to generate notable sales and revenue for the vegan cat food line.
