According to a recently published report by IMARC group entitled “US Pet Food Market – Industry Trends, Manufacturing Process, Plant Setup, Machinery, Raw Materials, Cost, and Revenue”, pet ownership is currently on the rise especially in the United States of America. The report states that the US pet food market was worth US$ 23.6 Billion in 2015 with the market growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during 2008-2015. The pet food industry has become an integral part of the animal feed industry resulting in an increasing expenditure on nutritious pet foods by pet owners. Currently one of the biggest concerns of American pet owners is whether the pet food that they are buying will make their pets obese. Consequently, the nutrient content in pet foods has become a primary buying criterion. Considering the health benefits, pet owners are now preferring organic and natural food products. A number of other factors such as lifestyle trends, growing urbanization, consumer awareness, an increase in pet population, the growing trend of pet humanization, etc. are also driving the growth of the US pet food market.
