The Australian Pet Food Market is projected to grow to $ 2.9 billion by 2025.

Major growth driver for the Australian Pet Food Market includes pet humanization and the increasing desire to opt for pet food innovations, as most of the people find pets to be part of their family, so they are looking for the same quality of pet food as they look in food for themselves.

Additionally, Vegan, and grain-free pet food brands have also gained prominence in the pet food industry. Such trends are projected to raise the market for pet food premium ingredients.

Based on Type, the market is segmented into Dogs, Cats, Fish and Others (Birds, Small Mammals, etc.). The 'Dog' segment is projected to account for the largest share in the Australian Pet Food Market. The growing trend of dog adoption as a family companion is expected to fuel the demand for the product. Dogs are experiencing an upward trend in terms of the idea of pet humanization. This has resulted in an increase in the number of people who own dogs and feed them with premium foods.

Among these, the 'Dry Food' segment had the largest market share in 2019 and the segment will maintain its lead in forecast years as well. Dry type is more commonly used in pet food products, and its popularity can be due to its cost-effective nature and low moisture content, which enables easy handling during storage and processing.

Supermarkets are the leading stores for pet food, but the trend is changing to specialist stores.
