The global pet industry is poised to increase from $320 billion today to almost $500 billion by 2030, according to a recent report by Bloomberg Intelligence (BI). The report says the growth can be attributed to an expanding pet population worldwide, and the premiumization of food and services resulting from the continued humanization of companion animals.
The Philippines is an emerging market for the rising pet economy. With one of the most sizable rates of dog and cat ownership throughout Asia, the country provides a growing opportunity for pet food and other related products and services. Over the past five years, pets have become increasingly common as household companions – especially during the pandemic – leading to significant sales increases in pet food.
At the recent 28th Philippine Animal Hospital Association (PAHA) Conference at Marriott Hotel Manila, ADM’s pet nutrition business joined the convention where more than 1,000 veterinarians and animal experts learned about the latest developments in veterinary medicine and pet nutrition.
