Europe Pet Food Market Key Takeaways
Sample Request Link: https://www.imarcgroup.com/Europe-Pet-Food-Market/requestsample Market Growth Factors Rising Pet Ownership and Evolving Household Demographics Pet ownership in Europe is increasing in part due to the growing perception of pets as family and their need for high-quality pet food, as well as legislation that allows people to own pets in flats. As millennials and Generation Z are delaying having their own families, pets have become as surrogate family members. The aging population is the largest driver, and the number of people aged 60 years and older within the WHO European Region should rise from 215 million in 2021 to 247 million in 2030. Sustainable Innovation and Alternative Protein Development Environmental concerns are motivating new sources of protein since European companies are leaders in developing cultivated meat approaches that provide cell-cultured proteins with the amino acid profile needed by species typically using meat as their primary diet. No animals have to be killed. Pea, lentil, and chickpea, with other plant proteins, are more sustainable and non-allergenic protein sources. In Germany, Marsapet GmbH has marketed MicroBell, the world's first dry dog food utilizing FeedKind®, a microbial protein with an amino acid profile similar to that of chicken. Health-Focused Functional Nutrition and Veterinary Diet Expansion Pet food marketing is increasingly positioning functional nutrition (with probiotics, glucosamine, chondroitin and omega fatty acids) to improve digestive health, joint health, and cognitive function. Preventive health philosophy is on the rise to discourage veterinary care and increase pet longevity. The company's prescription veterinary diet business also continues to grow as veterinarians prescribe nutrition to support ailments such as kidney disease, diabetes and allergies. For example, in 2024, ADM introduced seven ready-to-eat pet products in the European market with wellness claims supported by scientific documentation. Market Segmentation By Pet Type
