Pet Food Ingredients Market Growth factors and trends

The pet population has continuously been on the rise globally, and this has, in turn, led to the growth of the pet food ingredient market. Given the trends, dogs are the most adopted pets, and hence they have the maximum share in the pet food ingredient market. Pet dogs in the US are registered, and in 2018-2019 there were around 73 million. Whereas in India and China, there are around 32 million and 110 million pet dogs approximately. As per growth trends, the dry segment of the market will grow better than the wet because of its cost-effective and low moisture quality.

A rise in pet population globally results in consequent expansion of the pet food ingredients industry, triggered by growth in the expenditure of pet owners on pet food products. Growing concern with regard to animal health, followed by an upward trend in domesticating pets, along with an increase in the nutrient consumption of pet feed call for high levels of demand of pet food, thus strongly fostering growth of the pet food ingredients market. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic situation having impacted businesses considerably worldwide, the plus point is that there is no noteworthy disruptive impact on the global operations and supply chains of pet food ingredients, thus ensuring stable growth in the market. Since ingredients, such as phosphate, amino acids, vitamins, specialty, and other nutritional components are incorporated in the pet food, as they improve animal immunity, metabolism, and gut health, ensuring healthy growth of pets, there is a thriving consumption of the same. As a result, high levels of consumption of pet food is projected to drive its demand across the globe. The availability of pet food at competitive prices in the market at present, thus ensuring cost-effectiveness across different income-level groups, is also an important factor influencing growth and sustenance of the pet food ingredients market.

The lack of a universal regulatory structure makes global trading challenging, as it involves multiple levels of approval across global regulatory authorities in the food industry. Updating technologies and facilities in relation to the production of pet food is quite a challenge in financial terms as pet food manufacturers require high investments of capital for installing various types of equipment and machinery which involves high costs and timely maintenance as well, thus adding to the cost. However, capital investments are considered as one-time investments which are usually offset in the long run.

Insights into pet food ingredients market during Covid-19

COVID-19 adversely affected the supply networks. Initially, restrictions on the movement of raw materials hurt the pet food industrys supply and cash flow. Meanwhile, pet food demand grew steadily as people adopted more pets as a result of a growing desire for companionship during the lockdown. As a result, market players have increasingly invested in e-commerce platforms instead of brick-and-mortar stores.

About 34% of the market was devoted to the dog segment in 2020.

There are three types of pet food ingredients in the global market: cats, dogs, and fish. Dog adoption is on the rise in various emerging economies due to psychological and therapeutic benefits, as well as the development of first-class drugs. The animal-based segment dominated the market and held the largest market share of 32% in the year 2020.

Animal-based pet food dominates because major manufacturers use fish as an animal derivative. Omega-3 and Vitamin A are found in abundant amounts. Pet food that contains meat is more digestible and more pleasant to eat. Pet food contains fish and their bones, which are rich in calcium and phosphorus.

Market growth is hampered by inconsistent universal guidelines and high production costs

Protein food ingredients such as organic natural and gluten-free ingredients are more expensive than conventional products, which is expected to hamper market growth. Unlike poultry by-product meal, which is significantly less expensive, most pet foods sold at higher prices contain chicken meal, a single-source protein.
Pet food ingredients must be certified by certifying authorities, increasing the price. As a result of this certification, the whole supply chain must adhere to the standard set forth in the certification, which results in more expenses for the grower, farmer, and producer. Third-party auditors are also required to conduct audits in order to ensure compliance, which increases the price of pet food ingredients.

Nutrient-rich products create growth opportunities in North America

In North America, the market for pet food ingredients should surpass USD 290 Million by 2032 as more consumers become aware of their pets health. Companies are developing new products for domestic and international markets. The governments of Canada and the U.S. will support the pet food industry with strong institutional support. Mexico is a major feed producer as well. Not exports but domestic consumption is responsible for this growth.
Market outlook of pet food is influenced by advertising new technology and incorporation of healthy ingredients in pet food, which directly impact demand for pet food ingredient. Approximately USD 37.0 billion of livestock are produced every year, which has had a positive impact on the market, according to USDA forecasts.

Ingredient Insights

Phosphates are expected to register a strong growth rate in the future. Commercial phosphates used in animal nutrition include monocalcium, dicalcium, phospholipids, and orthophosphates. These phosphates provide vital nutrients, hence improve the health of companion animals.
Beta-glucan, Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS), Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), probiotics, and prebiotics are all considered gut health ingredients. By binding to receptors on white blood cells and macrophages, these ingredients stimulate antimicrobial and anti-tumor activities, which is why the product is gaining wide acceptance in this industry.

As the focus on developing pet food palatability increases, the demand for palatants is also growing steadily. Three sensory characteristics determine whether a food is palatable, namely the macronutrient profile, texture, and aroma. Due to their hypersensitive nose, dogs are particularly sensitive to the smell of food.
Acidifiers, antioxidants, and enzymes have become more popular due to the use of antibiotics in agriculture. Feed acidifiers include, formic acids, propionic acids, fumaric acids, acetic acids, citric acids, and lactic acids. Glucose, a cheaper and more efficient energy source comparable to fumaric acid, is the main driver of the product.
