The cat food market is influenced by the increasing pet ownership rates and the growing trend of pet humanization. As consumers treat their pets as family members, there is a rising demand for premium, nutritious, and specialized cat food products. Additionally, the growing awareness of pet health and wellness is driving the demand for natural and organic ingredients in cat food formulations.
