The cat food market in Switzerland encounters challenges related to changing consumer preferences and increasing competition. Pet owners are becoming more discerning, seeking high-quality, natural, and organic ingredients for their pets. This trend puts pressure on manufacturers to reformulate products and invest in premium offerings, often at higher production costs.
