Major companies like Nestle Purina, Mars, J.M. Smucker, and Hill’s Pet Nutrition are growing both organically and through acquisitions, targeting functional products such as probiotics and therapeutic nutrition. Newer competitors are focusing on specialized, breed-specific, and sustainable offerings. The pet supplement market is expanding, especially with science-driven formulations such as those recently introduced by ADM in Europe. E-commerce is transforming sales channels, with Chewy.com and Amazon representing over 80 percent of US online pet food sales.
Supply chain volatility remains a pressure point, with recent cybersecurity incidents affecting players like Jewett-Cameron, and price increases on some premium products reported due to costlier raw materials and ongoing logistics disruptions. In response, manufacturers are optimizing production and diversifying suppliers, and many are adopting automation and digital tools.
Consumer behavior shows greater willingness to try subscription models, use smart devices, and buy functional or eco-friendly products. However, inflation and cost-of-living pressures are prompting price sensitivity among some buyers, slowing premiumization in some markets.
Compared to previous months, there is a pronounced focus on digital transformation, sustainability, and holistic wellness. While premium growth remains strong, competitive and regulatory pressures call for continued innovation and strategic adaptation across the industry.
