Canada Pet Food Market Driven by Rising Demand for Premium Nutrition | CAGR 3.07% (2025–2035)
The Canada Pet Food Market is witnessing steady growth, fueled by rising pet ownership and consumer awareness regarding animal health and wellness. Valued at USD 8.07 billion in 2024, the market is projected to rise to USD 11.25 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 3.07%. This upward trend reflects a growing shift toward premium, natural, and high-quality pet food formulations as owners increasingly treat pets as family members.
A strong preference for sustainable and transparent ingredient sourcing further enhances market expansion. Consumers are now prioritizing pet foods rich in functional ingredients, vitamins, and probiotics. Additionally, e-commerce platforms play a vital role in shaping purchase patterns by providing access to diverse brands and subscription-based delivery options.
Market Dynamics and Growth Drivers
A major driving force behind this market expansion is the evolving consumer perspective on pet well-being. Health-conscious pet owners are demanding organic, grain-free, and human-grade food products that align with modern clean-label trends. This transition supports the rise of innovations in pet food formulation, packaging, and marketing strategies.
Furthermore, the convenience of online shopping and the availability of customized nutrition plans for specific animal needs propel growth. Pet humanization trends and premiumization strategies have encouraged brands to introduce value-added offerings such as single-protein diets, limited ingredient recipes, and breed-specific foods.
