The European pet food market is anticipated to achieve a valuation of USD 36.4 billion in 2023, with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% from 2023 to 2033. By 2033, total pet food sales across Europe are projected to reach USD 61.2 billion.

Pet adoption rates are rising significantly across European countries like Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. This surge is largely driven by growing awareness of the health benefits associated with companion animals, which is in turn fueling demand for pet food in the market.

Additionally, the increasing preference for high-quality, nutrient-rich pet food and a rise in pet-related expenditures are expected to further drive pet food sales across Europe throughout the forecast period.
