Pet food refers to a highly nutritious specialty product which is formulated based on the nutritional requirements of different domesticated animals. It is manufactured using a wide array of ingredients like meat, poultry, seafood and feed grains. Saudi Arabia is currently witnessing a rise in the adoption of pets which is proliferating the demand for pet food in the region. Additionally, rising disposable incomes of pet owners and growing awareness about the well-being of their pets are further providing a thrust to the market growth.

A large number of pet owners now treat their pets as a family member, thereby leading to the emergence of the pet humanization trend which has escalated the demand for nutritious pet food products. Apart from this, as a substantial part of the essential nutrients are lost during processing, the manufacturers are innovating and launching improved pet food products. In addition to this, they are also introducing premiumized product varieties, such as gluten-free, multigrain, protein-specific and grain-free, catering to the requirements of different pets such as cats, dogs, birds and reptiles. Further, growth of the e-commerce sector, driven by several favorable factors like convenience, easy return policies and low prices, is stimulating the sales of pet food through online channels. As a result of these factors, the market value is projected to reach US$ XX Million by 2023, expanding at a CAGR of XX% during 2018-2023.
