Growth Drivers of the European Pet Food Market

Increasing Pet Ownership and Humanization of Pets

In Europe, more people own pets all the time. About the European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF), it states about 91 million EU homes had at least one pet in 2022, and pet food demand grows because owners see pets as family. When people treat pets like humans, consumers spend more on premium and specialized pet food items to cater to pets' health, nutrition, and lifestyle. This drives the demand for premium-quality pet food across the region.

Expansion of E-commerce Platforms

The growth of e-commerce has also affected how pet food is purchased in Europe, with consumers choosing websites to purchase pet food as they are more convenient, carry a wider variety of options and offer home delivery, especially for busy consumers. Consumers can switch over to organic, grain-free, and also hypoallergenic formulations. From 2024 until 2032, a region-specific analysis projects the Europe e-commerce pet food market to grow at an annual rate of 8.4%. The growth promotes e-commerce in the pet food category.

Rising Innovations and Product Development

New products may develop and fulfill consumer demand for natural or functional food. They may use natural, organic, and hypoallergenic ingredients inside. Veterinarians may formulate products to treat problems such as obesity, joint disease, and digestive diseases in dogs and cats. Dogs Plates, a Polish company, introduced wet dog food based on insect protein in 2022 for example. Such revolutionary and emerging products may be responsible for strong long-term growth in this market.
