The Raw Pet Food Market Size is valued at USD 7.48 Bn in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 16.87 Bn by the year 2031 at a 10.8% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Raw pet food is a diet for animals that is mostly made of unprocessed components, such as meat, bones, fruits, and vegetables. This diet is designed to improve the health and vigour of pets by resembling their traditional diet. The global pet ownership trend is on the rise, especially in emerging economies, and it is expected to have a significant impact on the global market for raw pet food. The global raw pet food market is experiencing rapid expansion due to the increasing number of pet owners who are concerned about providing their pets with healthy and high-quality food.
The increasing urbanization and pet humanization drive this trend. Additionally, growing the number of people owning pets around the world is a great way to boost demand for pet food, which in turn opens up new markets for specialized raw pet foods. The market is growing because commodities in different price ranges are easily accessible. Furthermore, raw food is becoming increasingly popular among pet owners as a means to protect their pets from common health problems like obesity, food allergies, and gastrointestinal disorders.
However, market growth is hampered by the high cost of raw pet food, strict regulations, and the product's inability to meet market demand. The raw pet food business was positively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic because, as individuals started spending more time at home with their pets, the demand for premium pet nutrition choices, such as raw diets, skyrocketed. A heightened awareness of the benefits of pet health drove this. Moreover, encouraging growing pet ownership in developing nations could also provide fresh opportunities for growth. The adoption of raw pet food is expected to be accelerated by pet owners due to the expanding popularity of pets.
The raw pet food market is segmented based on type, food type, and sales channel. Based on type, the market is segmented into dogs, cats and others. As per the food type, the market includes dry food and wet food. The sales channel segment comprises online and offline channels.
The dogs in the grade pet food market are expected to hold a major global market share in 2023 because dog owners are choosing premium, health-conscious pet food options, increasing their understanding of canine health and nutrition, and increasing their ownership of dogs. Furthermore, increased product availability and focused marketing initiatives by big pet food companies are driving demand in this market and contributing to the sector's growth.
Offline makes up the bulk of raw pet food because shoppers are inclined to prefer to buy things in-store so they can see and verify the quality of the products in person. Quick availability, individualized customer attention, and the possibility to evaluate several products in person all contribute to their appeal. Furthermore, it frequently provides a greater range of raw pet food choices in retail stores, thereby improving customer choice, especially in countries like the US, Germany, the UK, China, and India.
The North American raw pet food market is expected to note the highest market share in revenue in the near future. Because of rising pet ownership, rising knowledge of the advantages of raw meals for pets' health, and a significant presence of major industry players developing new products. Furthermore, the Asia Pacific region is estimated to experience significant growth in the worldwide raw pet food market due to a high prevalence of pet ownership and an increasing expenditure on pet health and well-being, as pets are regarded as family members. The demand for high-quality raw foods is propelled by consumers in the Asia-Pacific region who favor luxury and health-focused products.

In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
