Spotlight on Pet Health Trends

Pet Health Trends

Nowadays, pets have become an important part of the family, so it’s not surprising that more than half of today’s consumers are pet owners.

The 2017-2018 National Pet Owners Survey reports that about 85 million families in the US own a pet. Globally, the GFK survey of 22 countries with more than 27,000 online consumers showed that 57% of the respondents are pet owners.

Pet & Family

The increasing popularity of pet humanization has triggered a tremendous impact on the global pet industry increasing sales of pet food, pet services, pet supplies, etc. In 2016, 66.75 billion dollars was spent on pets in the US alone. This year the estimated expenditure exceeds more than 69 billion dollars. This surge of pet owners all over the world has brought about a continuous expansion and growth of the pet industry.

There is a variety of pet food available in the market, but dry pet food remains the most popular type of pet food while research reports predict a steady rise in wet food. Sales of wet pet foods are expected to rise globally by more than 5% between 2017- 2021.

Another type of pet food that is increasing in sales are the healthy specialty treats. Petfood Industry magazine reported that more pet owners now prefer non-GMO, naturally processed foods and treats for their pets and the inclusion of vegetables and fruits is becoming more mainstream. It is predicted that the sales of organic and natural pet foods will increase by 14% every year until 2019. In the US, the sales for healthy dog treats tend to increase by 10% each year, while the sales for cat treats remain steady at 3% per year.
