The global cat litter market was valued at $7,212.80 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $11,293.30 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2021 to 2030. Cat litter is a solid item that aids in the absorption of cat feces and urinals, as well as the prevention of cat waste accumulation in undesirable places of the home. Its capacity to reduce odor, ease of maintenance, and cleanability are all helpful in attracting more customers. The introduction of novel natural litter that is scent- and chemical-free as well as biodegradable is serving as a potential market growth opportunity. Smart Cat All Natural Clumping Litter, for example, is made of grass, and is dust-, chemical-, and fragrance-free, as well as biodegradable.
Region wise, the market in North America garnered the largest share in 2020, owing to pet owners' strong desire for novel solutions to maintain cat hygiene. As the largest pet food market is in North America, rise of the U.S. pet food market can be linked to an increase in pet ownership. Furthermore, the cat litter industry is expanding due to surge in the cat population and increase in number of multi-cat households. This is expected to increase demand for cat litter products. Furthermore, self-cleaning cat litter aids in the maintenance of cat hygiene despite the owners' time constraints.
Furthermore, weather has a strong impact on litter purchases, with sales increasing during the rainy and winter seasons. Owing to harsh and adverse weather conditions, cat owners do not allow their cats to go outside, which increases the demand for cat litter. Moreover, cat owners' increasing expenditure on pet care items is another factor that is likely to result in increased demand for cat litter. Cats have recently become adored family members. As pet owners want to ensure that their pets are healthy, happy, and clean, the global need for appropriate care products is increasing rapidly, thus boosting the market growth.
The presence of several well-established businesses characterizes the sector. These companies command a sizable market share, offer a varied range of products, and have a global presence. Companies are focusing more on product releases to answer changing client needs and get a competitive advantage over other manufacturers by producing new and sustainable products.

The global cat litter market is segmented into product type, raw material, distribution channel, and region. By product type, the cat litter industry is classified into clumping and non-clumping. On the basis of raw material, it is fragmented into clay, silica, and others. Depending on distribution channel, it is categorized into hypermarkets/supermarkets, specialty pet stores, and online channels. Region wise, the market is studied across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, Australia, and the rest of Asia Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, and the rest of LAMEA).
On the basis of product type, the clumping segment accounted for the highest share in 2020. This is attributed to the fact that clumping litter is a popular and convenient choice among pet owners. Many people say that it makes cleaning up a lot easier. In addition, clumping litter comes in a variety of fragrances, granule sizes, and textures. The litter soon attaches to the waste, cupping around to form a barrier. It prevents waste from spreading throughout the litter box, keeping the kitty box fresher for longer.
Depending on raw material, the clay segment garnered the largest share of the global cat litter market share in 2020, and is expected to dominate the market throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to the fact that clay absorbs ample amount of water in a short time span, keeping the litter box dry and clean. In addition, clay absorbs odors, which is significant because the odor of cat urine and feces is unpleasant. As clay litter clumps quickly, it is easily cleaned and convenient. When exposed to moisture, the clay expands and hardens.
By distribution channel, the hypermarkets/supermarkets segment accounted for the highest share in 2020, as customers benefit from the availability of a wide choice of products, product discounts, sales representative assistance, and speedy checkouts at hypermarkets/supermarkets. Thus, these advantages are predicted to promote shopping at hypermarket/supermarket growth during the cat litter market forecast.
