Opportunities for pet food manufacturers in 2024
Pet owners are increasingly aware that a healthy diet is essential to the well-being of their pets. This is mainly due to increased access to pet nutrition information, as well as an increase in studies demonstrating the link between healthy, sustainable food and pet health.
In recent years, the availability of customized pet food has increased. This is mainly due to the increase in the number of pet food manufacturers offering these products, as well as the increasing accessibility of technologies that allow for the customization of pet food.
At the same time, the price of personalized pet food has dropped, making it more affordable for more pet owners. The increase in competition in this sector and the improvement of production capacities have indeed led to the diversification of the offer.

Development of new distribution channels
Pet food manufacturers can also develop new distribution channels to reach a wider audience. These include developing new partnerships with online distributors or veterinary clinics.
When we talk about distribution, we also implicitly talk about sustainability, and here, it is clear that those producers who will include sustainability in the distribution process will have the most success.
Development of new marketing campaigns
Pet food manufacturers can also develop new marketing campaigns to increase the general public’s awareness of personalized pet food. These include campaigns that focus on the benefits of personalized pet nutrition.
