The global vegan pet food market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. Increasing awareness among pet owners regarding the health and nutritional benefits offered by natural and plant-based pet food is driving the market growth. Protein-based foods are increasingly gaining momentum in pets. Corn and soy are common plant sources of protein used in plant food. Products that are developed using high-protein plants and deliver more protein than conventional pet food is attracting the focus of more pet owners. Moreover, a meat-free diet for pets such as dogs and cats can support their digestion, immunity, and weight control along with improving their overall health. Functional plant-based food also targets specific health issues that are commonly observed in dogs such as skin issues, joint problems, and anxiety. Therefore, pet parents are increasingly seeking pet foods created with plant proteins such as peas, brown rice and oats, plus nutritional supplements.
Key players in the industry have been increasing their efforts in producing high protein plant-derived pet foods to cater for the increasing demand for vegan pet foods. For instance, in September 2021, Freshpet announced the launch of its fresh, vegetarian dog food, Spring & Sprout. Spring & Sprout is developed by Freshpet's veterinarian nutritionist, which the company claims to combine healthy plant-based proteins with cage-free eggs, fruits and vegetables for balanced nutrition for dogs. Moreover, the higher adoption of pets during the COVID-19 pandemic further added to the high demand for vegan pet foods in the market. According to the American Kennel Club, a large number of people decided to add new pets to their houses during the pandemic and the number of US households that have at least one dog (69 million homes) increased to 54% in 2020 from 50% in 2018.

Based on the product type, the market is segmented into dry food, wet food, and others. Based on the pet type, the market is segmented into dogs, cats, and others. Further, based on the distribution channel, the market is segmented into online retail and offline retail.
Organic Pet Food Finds Significance in the Global Global Vegan Pet Food Market
The demand for organic vegan pet food has grown significantly over the years. Organic pet food offers various health advantages for pets such as reducing the occurrence of skin allergies and digestive issues providing overall improved health and quality of life. Moreover, the adoption of organic pet food can improve bad breath and supports maintaining weight. Increasing health concerns among pet owners and surging levels of expenditure on pets are encouraging pet owners to provide only healthy organic pet foods made from organically grown products. This, in turn, is driving the production of organic pet food among manufacturers. For instance, in, December 2021, Clif Bar introduced a new range of vegan pet treats set to hit US shelves in early 2022 under the brand name CLIF Pet. Clif Bar is known for its organic and plant-based energy snacks. The company will launch three recipes of plant-based jerky including sweet potato and blueberry, pumpkin and apple, and butternut squash and cranberry.
Regional Outlook
The global vegan pet food market is further segmented based on regions including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America). The European vegan pet food market is primarily driven by the surging veganism trend in European countries, such as UK. The up-surging vegan trend across Europe supports the easy availability of vegan pet food products, which in turn, enables pet owners to choose a vegan diet over conventional pet food products. Thus, the factors such as the trend of veganism fuel the demand for vegan pet food products in Europe. Moreover, the increasing number of pet owners in this region is further leveraging the growth of the market in the region. According to the Pet Food Manufacturers’ Association, it is estimated that about 59% of UK households shared their homes with a companion animal in 2021. Of these, the most common animals are dogs (33% of UK households, with an estimated 12.5 million dogs) and cats (27% of UK households, with an estimated 12.2 million cats).
