According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Functional Pet Treat Market," The functional pet treat market was valued at $290.96 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $722.8 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2022 to 2031.
Functional pet treat is a new & innovative product segment in the pet treat industry, which not only requires advertisement for its awareness but also a wide distribution network. Rapid increase in number of large retail stores, including supermarkets and hypermarkets in developing economies has enabled easier availability of functional pet treat, as these stores help increase sales of organic & conventional functional pet treat products. Supermarkets and convenience stores have served as better distribution points for various pet supplements. In addition, growth in urbanization is expected to boost growth of the retail sector, which, in turn, generates demand for functional pet treat.
The concept of pet ownership is not just limited to developed countries, such as U.S., the UK, and Australia, but is also escalating in developing nations such as India, China, and Brazil. With rapid increase in personal disposable income, people in such nations are able to own a pet and provide the best quality of life to them. Mexico alone owned around 18 million pets that resulted in around 8% of increased pet treat sales in 2015. In addition, the Asia-Pacific functional pet treat industry is growing tremendously, owing to increase in pet population. For instance, India's pet population has witnessed growth from 7 million in 2006 to more than 10 million pets in 2011. Improvement in consumer lifestyles and increase in incomes in developing countries resulted in increased acceptance for pets among all income groups.
Rise in regulatory constraints in pet treat, pet functional treat, and pet supplement industry are expected to negatively affect the functional pet treat market during the forecast period. For instance, in the U.S., pet treat is highly regulated by the U.S. FDA to meet both federal and state requirements. The U.S. FDA has imposed laws on both finished pet supplements and their application. Any ingredient cannot be used in pet treat supplement until it has been accepted by the FDA and Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). These organizations develop model bills & legislations for pet supplements.
Under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) 2010, guidelines for pet supplement manufacturers in the U.S. were issued related to certification, sterilization, hygiene, and labeling of food. In addition, owing to lack of a universal regulatory structure, global trading becomes difficult. Huge investments are made in manufacturing functional pet treats additives and different regulations & guidelines lead to severe losses for manufacturers. Therefore, it becomes expensive to frequently update manufacturing raw material and facilities in accordance with changing guidelines. The aforementioned factors are expected to hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The functional pet treat market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2021, North America dominated the functional pet treat market, and is expected to sustain its dominance during the forecast period. This is majorly attributed to rise in adoption of pets and increase in spending on pet care products, including healthcare & grooming products. Furthermore, growth in innovation in pet treat & supplement packaging is expected to escalate the demand for functional pet treat in North America. Furthermore, rise in research to find natural & organic pet ingredient, which can be used in functional pet treat creates potential opportunities for growth of the market. Moreover, pet owners look for premium & super premium functional pet treat, owing to growth in concerns regarding health of their pets & animal welfare in North America. Canada and Mexico are lucrative markets for pet supplements, growing at a CAGR of 9.6% and 9.3%, respectively, during the forecast period.
