The vegan dog food market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $15.64 billion in 2023 to $17.51 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.0%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the perceived health benefits associated with vegan dog food, the increasing popularity of organic pet food, the expansion of online sales channels, and a growing awareness of environmental concerns and sustainability.
The vegan dog food market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.03 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is linked to factors such as the expanding pet population, a rising preference for diets low in or devoid of animal meat, and an increased sense of empathy and consciousness among dog owners. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass the popularity of both organic and conventional vegan dog food options, regional market expansion, and the emergence of tailored and specialized choices to meet diverse preferences in the vegan dog food sector.
The anticipated growth in the vegan dog food market is driven by the expanding pet population, representing the number of domesticated animals kept as pets in a specific area or population. Vegan dog foods, characterized by lower fat and calorie content compared to traditional meat-based diets, offer a sustainable, allergy-friendly, and potentially healthier dietary option for dogs. This is particularly beneficial for dogs managing weight or requiring specific dietary considerations, such as those addressing obesity. As of September 2022, HealthforAnimals reported a growth in Australia's pet population from 28.5 million to 30.4 million in 2021. In Europe, the European Pet Food Industry documented a total of 346 million pets in 2022, up from 309 million in 2021, with dog adoptions reaching 104 million in 2022, compared to 92 million in 2021. The rising pet population is a key driver for the burgeoning vegan dog food market.
Companies playing a major role in the vegan dog food market are concentrating on product innovation, specifically in the realm of dry dog food, to enhance market profitability. Vegan dry dog food, primarily composed of non-animal ingredients such as grains, vegetables, and legumes, with meat excluded as the primary protein source, is a notable development. In December 2023, Pack Pet Limited, a UK-based vegan dog food manufacturer, introduced Europe's first nutritionally complete plant-based dry dog food. Crafted with functional ingredients such as sweet potato, pumpkin, and blueberry, the formula prioritizes holistic well-being and employs a gradual baking method at lower temperatures to preserve component integrity, taste, and nutritional value. Featuring five primary plant-based protein sources, the food delivers around 25 grams of protein per 100 grams, incorporating a novel fermented rye strain to enhance canine microbiome health with a digestibility rate exceeding 93%.
In July 2023, TRxADE HEALTH Inc., a US-based health service IT company, completed the acquisition of Superlatus Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move extends TRxADE HEALTH's presence into the food sector, diversifying its portfolio beyond healthcare.
