The Stats
Exceeding All Expectations
Retail value sales of dog and cat food are estimated to rise by 4.6% in 2018 to hit £2.7 billion. Between 2018 and 2023, Mintel estimates that the market will grow by 13.9% to £3.1 billion, driven by an increased demand from pet owners wanting more snacks/ treats for pets and an increased demand for wet food. Both of these products carry a higher price tag, driving the market’s growth. (Mintel, Pet Food & Pet Care Retailing – UK, August 2018).
Over the next five years, the majority of the growth will likely come from pet care services, which are estimated to grow by 34.3% to £991 million by 2023, whilst pet care products are estimated to increase by 17.4% to £1.1 billion. (Mintel, Pet Food & Pet Care Retailing – UK, August 2018).

The rising number of households and the growing population are anticipated to contribute to the growth in the pet population over the coming years, translating into higher revenue. Specialist, premium pet foods are anticipated to gain popularity as households continue to view diets as a means of improving animals’ overall health.
