Identifying emerging trends in the pet food industry can be challenging. The pet food industry often follows trends similar to that of the food industry, a logical sequence since many pets are more and more considered a vital part of the family.
Preventative foods or condition-specific foods are one of the trends discussed in the guide. “Many Americans already look for foods that provide desired health benefits, for example, foods that address weight management, digestive health, heart health, and joint or bone health. Consumers look for foods that they believe are beneficial to maintain health or prevent disease, so it is a natural step for pet parents to do something similar for their pets,” said Moira Watson, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Watson Inc.
Other trends discussed in the 2018 Pet Food Trends Guide include DIY pet foods, semi-homemade meals, toppers, home meal kit delivery, grain-free, gluten-free, and functional foods. It also looks at how the pet food industry is building trust through transparency and the growing importance of sustainability and clean label ingredients, and how social media trends like “unicorn” foods can also translate into mainstream pet treats.
