The global postbiotic pet food market is projected to reach USD 823.6 million by 2024, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% from 2024 to 2034.
Postbiotic pet food represents a promising niche within the broader pet nutrition sector. These foods are created by fermenting live bacteria to break down carbohydrates and proteins, producing easily digestible nutrients. This process mimics the natural diet of wild dogs and cats, promoting gut health and improving digestion.
Incorporating postbiotics into pet food offers several benefits, including enhanced immunity, reduced inflammation, and overall better health. Compared to prebiotics and probiotics, postbiotics offer greater stability and efficacy, as they can overcome the challenges live bacteria face during conventional production processes.
Ongoing research and development indicate substantial growth potential for the postbiotic pet food market. This is driven by rising consumer awareness of gut health’s importance and its role in improving pets’ overall health and disease resistance.
