The organic pet food market is poised for growth due to the increasing trend of pet ownership. Pet ownership involves caring for domesticated animals for companionship, work, or recreational purposes.

Organic pet food is gaining popularity for its use of high-quality ingredients and avoidance of artificial additives, which can reduce allergies and skin issues in pets, thereby enhancing the overall pet ownership experience as more fulfilling and responsible. For instance, the American Pet Products Association reported an increase in the percentage of U.S. households with pets from 67% to 70% between 2021 and 2022, and it remained high at 66% in 2023-2024, totaling approximately 86.9 million households with pets. This trend underscores the driving force behind the organic pet food market.
