Drivers and Restraints

Buoyant Demand for Pet Humanization and Premium Food Products to Foster Growth

Investors believe the pet food market will grow a lot soon because more people are getting pets. Big companies will try to sell their products in both poor and rich countries. The availability of these products and people having more money to spend will help more people buy them. Also, new, expensive pet food could become popular worldwide. For instance, in November 2020, Nestle Purina started selling pet food made from alternative proteins to save resources. There might also be more money put into making high-quality pet food in the future, which could be good for the companies.

But, strict rules might make it hard to sell these products, and not everyone liking expensive pet food could slow down the growth of the industry.
