Pet food ingredients are substances used in pet foods, treats, and supplements. They include proteins, carbohydrates, fats and oils, minerals, vitamins, and other additives such as preservatives and colors. Although the ingredients used in pet meals vary significantly depending on the product type and producer, all pet food products should adhere to a set of nutritional standards established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials to be marketed as complete pet food or treat. Additionally, many manufacturers are beginning to use natural or organic ingredients to appeal to consumers’ health-conscious purchasing habits. Essential nutrients via different food ingredients are crucial for pets as they fulfill specific roles and meet the nutritional requirements necessary for their overall health and well-being. The rising number of pet adoptions and pet population, growing pet humanization, and surging need for palatability improvement are driving the growth of the pet food ingredients market. However, counterfeit products, stringent rules and regulations, and sourcing limitations may hinder market growth. Nevertheless, the emerging novel startups with customized solutions, the rise in adoption of premium pet foods, and the introduction of unknown ingredients may overcome this challenge and expand the market growth. Moreover, the shifting trends toward homemade pet foods and gourmet food create a lucrative spectrum for the market in the forecast period.
