Shopper Insights – Pet Food For Dogs And Cats 2024

Following the surge in demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, the German pet industry continues to develop positively despite the generally tense economic situation: in 2023, sales increased in nearly all segments of the pet food sector.*

Against this background, there are developments that will significantly influence the pet food market: recent supply chain disruptions have impacted shelf availability, and the first retailers are venturing into their own pet food production. In addition, online sales of pet food continue to gain importance—alongside emerging areas such as veterinary consultations via video chat and online pharmacies offering over-the-counter animal medications.
