The Human Grade Pet Food Market Size was valued at USD 95.5 Bn in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 138.9 Bn by 2031 at a 4.9% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Human-grade pet food means that the items used to make the food are legal and safe for humans to ingest. Human-grade pet food is safer because it is manufactured in the same facilities as human food. The worldwide pet ownership trend is on the rise, especially in developing economies, and it is expected to impact the global market for human-grade pet food significantly. The global human-grade pet food market is experiencing strong growth due to the increasing number of pet owners concerned about providing their pets with healthy, high-quality food. The growing urbanization and pet humanization drive this trend. Additionally, expanding the number of people owning pets worldwide is a great way to boost demand for pet food, opening up new markets for specialized pet foods. The worldwide market is growing because commodities in different price ranges are easily accessible. Clientele has several alternatives and can choose from different financial statuses.
However, market growth is hampered by the high cost of human-grade pet food and the product's inability to meet the market demand. E-commerce and digital marketing are essential for increasing the reach of products, and creative flavors and packaging designs attract customers and support the human-grade pet food market expansion. The adoption of human-grade pet food is expected to be expedited by pet owners due to the rising popularity of pets. Additionally, a large number of vendors in the market specialize in selling fresh pet food that is intended for human use.
The human-grade pet food market is segmented based on type and distribution channel. Based on type, the market is divided into snacks, wet food, dry food, and others. By distribution channel, it is divided into offline, online, supermarkets, and others.
The snacks segment is expected to hold a significant global market share in 2023 because pet owners are growing conscious of the benefits of using natural items in their pets' diets. The demand for good pet food is rising, and the trend of humanizing pets is becoming more pronounced. Pet snack premiumization and increasing disposable incomes fuel the market's expansion. The expansion of the pet industry is being propelled by rising disposable money, which in turn is funding new flavor and nutrition advancements, all contributing to the sector's growth.
Offline makes up most human-grade pet food because shoppers prefer in-store purchases, where they can personally examine and confirm the items' quality. The ability to compare different goods in person, quick availability, and personalized customer service all add to the attractiveness. Furthermore, this market experiences constant foot traffic and sales due to established trust and loyalty with local grocers and pet retailers, especially in countries like the US, Germany, the UK, China, and India.
The North American human-grade pet food market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue in the near future. Because people are paying more attention to pet health and welfare, there is increased demand for human-grade pet food in emerging nations. Innovation in tastes, components, and health advantages is encouraged by the existence of major participants in the market, as well as the rising pet owners' purchasing capacity and per capita income. In addition, Asia Pacific is projected to grow rapidly in the global human-grade pet food market because there is a high prevalence of pet ownership, and people are gradually spending more on their pets’ health and happiness because they consider them part of the family. The need for high-quality foods is being driven by customers in Asia-Pacific who have a preference for premium and health-oriented products in the area.
