Probiotic and Prebiotic Pet Foods Market - Global Forecast to 2029

Overview

The Probiotic and Prebiotic Market is estimated at USD XX billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD XX billion by 2029, at a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2029.

Probiotics are live microorganisms found in certain foods and supplements, designed to help maintain or enhance the body’s natural "good" bacteria, known as the normal microflora. Prebiotics, on the other hand, are fiber-rich foods that serve as nourishment for these beneficial microorganisms, promoting their growth and balance in the body.

Probiotic-rich foods include yogurt and sauerkraut, while prebiotic foods are found in whole grains, bananas, leafy greens, onions, garlic, soybeans, and artichokes. Both probiotics and prebiotics are increasingly being added to various foods and are also available in supplement form for targeted health benefits.

Prebiotics offer health benefits by specifically modifying the composition or activity of the body’s existing microbiota. Although most prebiotics are classified as dietary fibers, not all dietary fibers qualify as prebiotics. Probiotics, on the other hand, are known to reduce the incidence and recovery time of diarrhea, decrease the need for antibiotics in animals suffering from diarrhea, and help maintain the health of animals with inflammatory bowel disease. Prebiotics improve digestive function and stool quality, support the body's natural defenses to lower infection risk, and help regulate energy balance and glucose metabolism in pets.

Global Probiotic and Prebiotic Pet Foods Market Dynamics

Drivers: Increasing Awareness of Pet Health

The global rise in pet ownership marks a significant cultural shift, as pets are increasingly seen as integral family members rather than just animals. This evolving perspective has encouraged pet owners to seek high-quality products and services to ensure the health and happiness of their pets, fueling demand for premium pet supplements.

Today’s pet owners are more informed about their pets’ health needs, largely due to better access to information through media and guidance from veterinarians. This heightened awareness has fostered a proactive approach to pet health, with an emphasis on preventive care to avoid costly medical treatments. Consequently, supplements aimed at promoting overall wellness and addressing specific health concerns have seen increasing demand.

Restraints: High cost of premium products

The elevated cost of premium probiotic and prebiotic pet foods remains a key barrier to market growth, mirroring broader consumer trends in pet-related expenses, particularly pet food. As per the July 2023 Consumer Price Index, pet food prices surged by nearly 11% year-over-year, leading many pet owners to switch to more affordable options by either purchasing smaller quantities or opting for less expensive brands. This trend, driven by inflation and economic challenges, also extends to dietary supplements.

Premium supplements, often containing organic or highly specialized formulations, are significantly more expensive than standard alternatives. Although health-conscious pet owners are willing to invest in their pets’ well-being, the high cost of these products can deter some consumers, particularly during times of financial strain. As budgets tighten, pet owners may prioritize basic necessities like food over premium supplements, resulting in reduced demand for high-end dietary solutions..

 

Opportunities: Growing on-the-go snacking trend and portable nature of metal cans

The global rise in the dog population has significantly driven advancements in commercial pet food, focusing on both quality and diversity to cater to different breeds, sizes, and life stages. This increase in demand for high-quality, specialized pet foods presents a substantial opportunity for the probiotic and prebiotic pet foods market. As pet owners become more aware of their pets' nutritional needs, there is a growing trend toward providing tailored, nutrient-dense diets, which can be further enhanced with supplements. This shift is driven by rising disposable incomes, especially in emerging markets like India, where changing social norms and evolving family dynamics have led to increased pet ownership.

Additionally, the emphasis on healthier, more nutritious, and organic food options mirrors consumer preferences for their pets. With ongoing research into pet nutrition and premium raw materials, the probiotic and prebiotic pet foods market can capitalize on this momentum by offering products that complement these high-quality diets, further boosting nutrient absorption and overall pet wellness. The expanding pet food market, along with trends like urbanization and improved purchasing power, makes this a key opportunity for dietary supplement manufacturers to innovate and expand.

Challenges: Presence of various pet food regulations in the industry

The evolving consumer trends in the pet food industry have led to significant changes, especially in processing and equipment manufacturing. These shifts have been anticipated by manufacturers for years, but regulatory updates, particularly from the FDA, are driving many of these changes. Key regulations include the Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA), which requires pet food processors to implement comprehensive food safety plans. FSMA rules focus on preventive controls to mitigate risks and reduce accidents in processing facilities. The FDA also mandates that ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, flavorings, preservatives, and processing aids meet safety standards (GRAS) for their intended use or must be approved as food additives. Furthermore, color additives must comply with strict regulations as outlined in 21 CFR 70 and other relevant parts of the code.

Over the past two decades, several food safety certifications, including Food Safety Certification 22000, SQF’s FSC32, and FSC34, have been developed and continuously updated for pet food manufacturing. These certifications are crucial and are regularly monitored by regulatory bodies. While these regulations are essential for maintaining safety and quality, they pose challenges for manufacturers, especially due to the costs associated with compliance and continuous updates, potentially hindering market expansion.

Global Probiotic and Prebiotic Pet Foods Market Ecosystem Analysis

Top Companies in Probiotic and Prebiotic Pet Foods Market
 

Based on the pet type, the dog segment is estimated to account for the largest market share of the probiotic and prebiotic pet foods market.

In recent years, the global dog population has notably increased, driving significant advancements in both the quantity and quality of commercial pet foods. This growth has led to the creation of pet diets tailored to various body sizes, life stages, and specific breeds, resulting in a thriving pet food market recognized as one of the fastest-growing segments within the food industry.

It is estimated that between 10% and 33% of dogs in the United States are given dietary supplements or nutraceuticals. Despite economic challenges, pet owners in 2024 continue to prioritize their dogs, with health care and quality time being top concerns. A survey from the American Pet Products Association (APPA) highlighted a marked increase in the demand for products targeting obesity and anxiety. Notably, the use of calming products for dogs has surged by 168% since 2018.

Based on product type, dry pet food are anticipated to have a growth rate in the probiotic and prebiotic pet foods market.

Dry pet food, typically composed of fresh meats and meat meals, stands out as one of the most popular complete pet food options due to its convenience and extended shelf life. The production process involves a combination of thermal and mechanical treatments, which enhance both the palatability and longevity of the kibble. However, these processes can potentially reduce the bioavailability and digestibility of certain nutrients. To better understand the nutritional value, an in vitro digestibility and nutrient content analysis was conducted on three types of chicken-based dry pet food formulations: those made from fresh meats, meat meals, or a combination of both. The study aimed to determine which formulation delivers the most nourishing diet for pets based on their protein and lipid content.

The APAC market is projected to grow the fastest in the probiotic and prebiotic pet foods market.

The rising demand for high-quality pet foods has led to intensified research in dog nutrition, focusing on creating balanced diets with premium raw materials that enhance nutrient absorption. Innovations and ongoing product developments have been key drivers of market expansion, propelled by dynamic economic conditions and increasing disposable incomes, especially in emerging markets like India. Shifting family dynamics, declining birth rates, and evolving social norms have further contributed to the growing adoption of pets globally, fostering sustained growth in the pet food market.

India's emergence as a hub for remarkable growth in the pet food and pet care product industries highlights a significant shift in consumer preferences and market dynamics.
