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.
