Feed Packaging Market Report 2026

The feed packaging market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $20.17 billion in 2025 to $21.48 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of livestock farming activities, growth in commercial feed production, increasing awareness of feed contamination risks, availability of plastic-based packaging materials, expansion of poultry and aquaculture sectors.

The feed packaging market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.36 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for sustainable feed packaging materials, rising regulatory focus on feed safety standards, expansion of pet food and specialty feed markets, growing adoption of recyclable packaging solutions, increasing investments in smart packaging technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for moisture-resistant feed packaging, rising adoption of flexible packaging formats, growing use of durable and tamper-resistant materials, expansion of bulk feed packaging solutions, enhanced focus on feed safety and shelf-life protection.

The increase in pet adoption is expected to drive the growth of the feed packaging market going forward. Animal adoption refers to acquiring pets through rescue organizations rather than purchasing them from breeders or pet stores. As pet ownership rises, pet owners increasingly rely on effective feed packaging to preserve the nutritional quality, safety, and freshness of animal feed. Proper packaging also supports convenient storage and handling, making it essential for pet care. As a result, higher rates of pet adoption directly contribute to increased demand for feed packaging solutions. For example, in January 2024, according to Shelter Animals Count, a US-based nonprofit organization, around 6.5 million cats and dogs entered shelters and rescue organizations across the United States, reflecting a 0.2% increase compared to 2022. Adoption outcomes also improved, with approximately 4.8 million animals adopted in 2023, indicating growing public engagement in pet rescue and adoption efforts. Therefore, the rising rate of pet adoption is supporting the growth of the feed packaging market.

The product provides a high-quality single protein nutrition option suitable for various dog breeds while emphasizing sustainability. This partnership reflects a growing trend toward aligning pet nutrition with environmentally conscious packaging solutions.
