Factors Fueling the Expansion of the Dog Food Market
One of the primary growth drivers for the dog food market is the increasing rate of dog adoption. Adoption involves acquiring dogs from shelters or charitable organizations, and this trend has been gaining ground steadily. The growing humanization of pets is encouraging owners to offer their dogs nutritious and high-quality food. For example, in March 2024, UK Pet Food, a UK-based manufacturers association, estimated that 17.2 million households—about 60% of the total in the UK—own one or more of the country’s 36 million pets. This rise in dog ownership is a significant factor pushing the dog food market forward.
