DUBLIN , Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The “Pet Food in the U. S., 16th Edition” report has been added to   ResearchAndMarkets. com’s offering.


With 2021 sales approaching $40 billion , sales of dog and cat food are expected in order to top $60 billion by 2026, with e-commerce continuing to strengthen its position as the No. 1 retail channel.

In the previous edition associated with this report, the big question was how the COVID-19 pandemic would affect the pet food market. We now know that the pandemic had a surprisingly positive effect on the pet market as the whole and on pet food in particular, which saw double-digit growth in 2020 and 2021.

And the pandemic continues to impact the market, the particular most visible forces being the record inflation and supply chain disruptions that have driven prices to an all-time high. Other market factors include an increased awareness of health plus wellness, the acceleration in online shopping and related behavior, and the solidification of pets’ role in the home as family members.

Despite the particular challenging conditions of the past few years, the pet market has proven to be as resilient as ever, bolstered simply by U. H. pet owners’ willingness to spend on their beloved “fur babies” even in the particular midst of a health plus economic crisis.

Featuring updated product sales projections and analyses of the trends impacting the marketplace now plus into the foreseeable future, this completely revised 16th edition of Pet Foods in the U. S. analyzes the lingering impact from the pandemic including inflation, supply constraints, shopper patterns, and pet owner interest in alternative pet foods.

Providing separate sales tracking and projections for dog and cat food, the particular report also examines styles by form (dry, wet, semi-moist, frozen/refrigerated, and freeze-/air-dried), ingredients, plus product claims across the full retail spectrum including online retailers, mass-market outlets, the pet specialty channel, and other channels.

It provides a comprehensive overview covering historical marketplace size and projections (2017-2026); cross-market developments; consumer expenditures; market opportunities; mergers plus acquisitions; channel trends which includes e-commerce and omnichannel; plus new product and marketing trends – all presented through the lens of the changes brought on by the pandemic.
