  • Taiwan's pet food market has experienced consistent growth in recent years, driven by rising pet ownership among single-person households and young families. As of 2023, Taiwan's pet population reached 1.48 million dogs and 1.31 million cats, underscoring the increasing importance of pets in households. This trend has led to higher demand for premium pet food products. Common dog breeds include Poodles, Shih Tzus, Chihuahuas, and the native Formosan Mountain Dog, while popular cat breeds are domestic short-hair cats, Persian cats, and Scottish Folds. The growing pet population and the increasing focus on breed-specific care are key factors contributing to Taiwan's pet food market expansion.
  • A 2023 survey by the Taiwan Ministry of Agriculture indicated that 10.4% of Taiwanese households owned cats, a 3.8% increase from 2021. Dog ownership also rose to 13.8% of households, a 1.3% increase over the same period. This growth in pet ownership has been accompanied by increased awareness among Taiwanese consumers about pet health and nutrition, resulting in a shift towards premium and specialized pet food options. Major pet food brands include Whiskas, Royal Canin, Nutro, Greens, Hill's Science Diet, and Classic Pets.
  • The market has seen a rising demand for specialized pet food tailored to specific breeds, life stages, or dietary needs. As pet owners become more informed about their pet's nutritional requirements, they increasingly seek specialized food options to support overall health and well-being. This trend has created new opportunities for pet food manufacturers to develop targeted products for different pet segments. For example, Nu4Pet offers personalized pet nutrition with tailored diets developed by in-house nutritionists.
  • The Taiwan pet food market is projected to grow during the forecast period, driven by the increasing number of pet owners and rising demand for natural and specialized pet food options focused on pet health and nutrition.
