PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Weak performance for other pet food amid rising costs and changing preferences
Other pet food in Australia is predicted to record a weak performance over the forecast period, with low volume growth and declining value sales (at constant 2024 prices). This will be primarily driven by the high costs associated with owning exotic pets, a key concern amid the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
Freeze-dried innovation in bird food amid pet humanisation trend
Freeze-dried nutrition, once exclusive to cats and dogs, is expanding into bird food. Leading this innovation is Raw for Birds, the only Australian brand at the end of the review period producing freeze-dried food specifically for birds.
