  • Being the most extensive pet market in North America, the US pet market's growth is attributed to the increase in millennial pet owners and the shift in how pets are viewed. According to the 2023-2024 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, 66% of households in the United States own a pet, which equates to 86.9 million households. Millennials are the most popular generation to own at least one pet. As of 2023, 33% of millennials in the United States had at least one pet. Further, the rise of pet humanization, wherein pets are treated with increased care and hygiene, is proving to be a major driver for the market and is leading to major changes in product packing and the resourcing of ethically viable products.
  • The other major drivers of the market studied are the development of private label stores focusing on unique and locally sourced products to increase their overall appeal and the increasing density of nuclear families. The increase in penetration of the e-commerce sector has been proven to be a major opportunity for low-cost marketing for the innovative and novel product lines developed by these emerging companies.
  • Furthermore, Americans have always been heavy spenders regarding their pets. The United States has the highest number of pet dogs and cats. Consequently, quality ingredients are of the utmost importance for American pet owners. With the increase in concern for pet health, the demand for pet food products is expected to have a high growth potential.
