Cat Food Toppings Market – Key Trends
Frozen, fresh, and raw foods toppings offer probiotics, enzymes, moisture, and highly-digestible meat protein which is important for the longevity and health of cats.
Cats have a higher need for amino acids and offering them fresh meat protein sources is incredibly imperative, this can be easily accomplished by meal toppers. Nutrition-focused cat owners are increasingly holding manufacturers to high standards of ingredient transparency and sustainability.
Manufacturers, to satiate the demand for transparency, have begun offering an ingredient map indicating where each of its ingredients comes from.
Manufacturers are also suggesting to mix-in products to complement a well-balanced diet, such as broths prepared from the slowly simmered bones of a single-animal source such as organic chicken, grass-fed beef, or wild-caught salmon.
Cat Food Toppings Market – Growth Restraints
Growing regulatory constraints in the pet food sector are anticipated to negatively influence the cat food toppings market over the forecast period.
For instance, in the U.S., pet food toppings are highly regulated and owing to stringent laws pet food companies have to go through a long cycle to introduce new variants.The regulatory body has formulated laws on both cat food ingredients and their finished products.
An ingredient cannot be utilized in pet food until it has been approved by AAFCO(Association of American Feed Officials) and FDA. Similar regulations by governments in the EU and some countries of Asia Pacific continue to influence growth of the market.
COVID-19 Impact on Cat Food Toppings Market
Although COVID-19 induced a scramble for pet food, supply chains clambered to catch up, creating empty shelves across supermarkets. Simultaneously, several individuals were strictly following the lockdown measure. These collective factors drove several pet parents to purchase food online from services like Chewy and Amazon.
Although the impact on cat food toppings has not been as drastic as other industries, cost-cutting measures, especially in cost-sensitive countries will induce sluggishness.
Also, the variety of cat food toppings available on online stores was limited – post COVID, online stores are likely to grow in market share, and it will lead to stronger partnerships between producers and distributors.
