- A Year of Innovation in the Pet Food and Products Market 2023
Explore the latest global innovations across the Pet Food and Products market in 2023. Our global pet food industry report identifies evolving areas, consumer attitudes, and important advances expected across regions like EMEA, APAC, and LATAM.
Innovation in Pet Food and Products – EMEA
Pet owners in Europe are becoming increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of pet food. In response to consumer concerns and expectations around sustainability, pet food brands have made efforts to address packaging waste by reducing material use and increasing recyclability. Brands are also recognising growing consumer interest in the carbon footprint of the products they buy by increasing transparency around carbon emissions.
Innovation in Pet Food and Products – APAC
Consumers in Asia are increasingly scrutinizing product labels and ingredients and looking for products that are minimally processed and contain recognisable ingredients. Pet food brands are responding to growing consumer interest in clean-label pet food. They are stepping up efforts to reduce or eliminate additives and preservatives, alongside highlighting natural ingredients.
Innovation in Pet Food and Products – Americas
Rising inflation is increasingly placing consumers under financial pressures. As a result, they are more likely to switch to lower-priced pet food options that may not have the nutritional density of high-quality pet food. To address possible nutrient deficiencies, pet snack and treat and brands are offering options that pack a punch through nutritional and functional benefits.

We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.
It’s mostly me who uses them but if I know someone is working on something specific I will share the relevant reports.
As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.
Andrew Neeson, Market Intelligence Manager, VocaLink
At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.
Alana Gavin, VP Research and Insights, Jackman
“When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.
They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.
So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.”
Rebecca Green, Market Insight Manager, Wincanton
“Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.
When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.
The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.”
Ben Zeidler, Director - Research and Analytics, Tenth Wave
Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.
It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.
