The market is driven by the factors such as the growth of product and owing to the ongoing concerns about pet health, increased awareness among pet owners. Health-conscious consumers look for the smaller portions of treats or candies with healthier ingredients like yogurt. The rise in pet ownership in many Asian countries has led to increased consumption of pet food. The private label sales in the U.S. are also expected to increase in the near future as consumers have started looking for cheaper and equally effective products.

Major restraint of the market is an increase in essential raw materials such as corn, soybeans, and wheat, which in turn led to an increase in the price of most protein sources. Concerns over the use of pesticides, genetically-modified organisms or artificial flavors in the pet food led to hike in demand for pet food containing balanced diet with organic proteins, vegetables, rice and fewer fillers are continuing to grow, creating an opportunity for organic pet food. The absence of proper supply chain is another drawback. Stringent regulation for organic certification dampens the spirit of investors to invest.
