The pet treat market(Mercado de golosinas para mascotas) has seen steady growth over the past decade and continues on this upward trajectory with a modest CAGR of 5.50%. In 2024, the market value surpassed expectations, reaching an impressive US$ 8,350.5 million.
This positive trend is projected to persist, with the market expected to achieve a remarkable US$ 14,231 million by 2034. This growth is largely driven by increased awareness among pet owners regarding their pets’ health and wellness, fueling demand for high-quality and nutritious pet treats.
Pet treats, a type of dietary supplement for dogs and cats, are often used for snacking to keep pets engaged, active, and entertained. As pets can become bored quickly, pet owners opt for these treats to maintain their pets’ interest and activity levels.
Today’s pet owners are more cautious than ever about what their pets consume, paying close attention to the ingredients in pet treats. In response, manufacturers are introducing organic pet treats to meet this growing demand for healthier options.
Furthermore, using graphics on the packaging may be lucrative to show pet food ingredients present in the pet treat item as well as the ingredients that are not present in them. Thus, providing nutritional information for pet treat on the product may improve sales.
“Increasing demand for organic ingredients in pet treats, along with high preference for chewable and vegetarian pet treats for puppies and kittens is expected to fuel sales in the market over the assessment period,” says an FMI analyst.
