Looking ahead, the market is expected to continue its strong momentum, reaching $6.87 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 10.8%. This surge is driven by rising demand for personalized pet nutrition plans, the growing popularity of subscription-based pet food delivery models, the expansion of raw food products tailored to cats, a heightened focus on sustainable protein sources, and clearer regulations regarding the safety of raw pet food. Key trends during this forecast period include increased interest in biologically appropriate diets, preference for minimally processed pet food, the adoption of freeze-dried raw formats, the growth of direct-to-consumer sales channels, and a stronger emphasis on ingredient transparency.

Understanding Pet Raw Food and Its Benefits
Pet raw food consists of uncooked and minimally processed ingredients designed for consumption by pets, mainly dogs and cats. The goal of feeding raw food is to provide diets that closely resemble what animals would naturally consume in the wild, which is thought to be more biologically suitable for their digestive systems and overall health.

Rising Pet Ownership as a Key Growth Factor
One of the main drivers behind the pet raw food market’s expansion is the increasing number of pet owners worldwide. Pet ownership refers to the legal responsibility and care for domesticated animals kept for companionship, protection, or enjoyment. This rise is influenced by factors such as the desire for companionship and emotional support, growing awareness of animal welfare, and the impact of social media promoting pet care.

Pet owners are choosing raw pet food because it aligns with their pets’ natural diets and contains fewer additives, emphasizing high-quality, natural ingredients similar to what animals would eat in the wild. For example, a 2024 report from Shelter Animals Count, a US-based nonprofit, revealed that dog and cat adoptions in the United States reached 4,192,443—roughly 2 million dogs and 2 million cats. This figure marks a slight increase of 0.4 percent or 17,153 more adoptions compared to 2023, underscoring the ongoing growth in pet ownership and consequently boosting demand for raw pet food products.
