Cat Litter Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of Approximately Over 2022-2031

In North America, particularly the U.S., humanization of pets and premiumization of pet services are driving sales of products such as cat litter crystals and cat litter liners among others. Cat owners are displaying a willingness to spend more on pet accessories, so cat litter sales volumes can no longer be relied on for significant growth. However, the ability of online retailers to undercut premium cat litter manufacturers with their own brands threatens profitability.

Globally, the perception regarding pets is changing, with cats being looked at as companion animals. This change in perception has further encouraged research and development efforts. For instance, in May 2020, the experts of Agricultural Research Services created a cat litter formulation made of, food grade mineral oil, eastern red cedar flakes, guar gum, and other biodegradable ingredients.

Previously, the researchers had also experimented with dried distiller’s grains, a byproduct of corn ethanol production. FMI in its latest study has forecasted sales through grow with the aid of cat litter subscription business models.

The increasing usage of natural and biodegradable ingredients in litter is expected to drive the sales of cat litter during the forecast period. Promotional efforts undertaken by brands in relation to launching campaigns and events on social media platforms to gain a wider consumer base is likely to open up new opportunities.
