The pet food market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.76% over the forecast period of 2018 to 2024. Pet food is the food material consumed by the pets which are sold either in pet stores or in the supermarkets. Pet food is specific according to the type of animals like dog food or fish food or cat food. Rising disposable income in regions with high pet ownership is increasing the capacity of people to spend on pet food. Moreover, increasing pet humanization across many regions is increasing the demand for quality food products for pets. Availability of a wide range of pet food products with diverse flavors and nutritional values is driving the global pet food market. Strategic mergers and acquisitions by the existing market players and increasing investments in the pet food industry by the private equity firms are further contributing to the market growth. For instance, in April 2017, “I and love and you”, a U.S. based premium dog and cat food brand received a significant growth investment from L Catterton, which is one of the largest consumer-focused private equity firms in the world.
