The increasing pet ownership is expected to propel the growth of the organic pet food market going forward. Pet ownership refers to having a domesticated animal under one’s care and responsibility for companionship, work, or recreational purposes. The rise in pet ownership is driven by social trends such as urbanization, increased disposable incomes, and a growing number of young adults delaying parenthood. As pets are increasingly regarded as family members, owners are prioritizing high-quality nutrition to support pet health and longevity. Organic pet food, which is made from natural ingredients without artificial additives, preservatives, or synthetic chemicals, helps reduce the risk of allergies, digestive issues, and skin problems in pets, thereby enhancing overall pet well-being and making pet ownership more responsible and fulfilling. For instance, in March 2025, according to the American Pet Products Association, a US-based non-profit association, total U.S. pet industry expenditures reached $152 billion in 2024 and are projected to grow to $157 billion in 2025. Additionally, pet ownership has continued to rise, with 51% of U.S. households (approximately 68 million) owning a dog and 37% of households (around 49 million) owning a cat. Therefore, increasing pet ownership is driving the growth of the organic pet food market.

Leading companies in the organic pet food sector are innovating with products such as bio-organic and superfood formulations to promote pet well-being and differentiate themselves in a competitive market. These products combine organic integrity with enhanced nutritional benefits, offering pets clean and sustainably produced food that supports their overall health and longevity.

These products are crafted using premium, human-grade ingredients and are certified bio-organic, ensuring transparency and traceability in sourcing, including details about animal parts used and pesticide-free crop cultivation.
