Dry Pet Food Production in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Good eats: Higher-profit products are drawing new players to the industry

Over the past five years, dry pet food producers have faced declining revenue, despite a spike in the total number of pets in the US as consumers sought companionship amid COVID-19 lockdowns. Supply issues for the industry's inputs made domestic production more expensive and encouraged overseas competitors to significantly boost their export volumes to US markets, bringing massive year-over-year increases in imports and intensified competition between producers. A strong rise in the total number of producers in the US brought even more competition, pressuring the industry's companies to drop prices and absorb a slight decline in revenue. Industry-wide revenue has been sinking at a CAGR of 0.9% over the past five years and is expected to total $15.5 billion in 2023, when revenue will stagnate.

The Dry Pet Food Production industry manufactures dry dog and cat foods, which are generally grain- and oilseed-based.
