Food Animal
The global animal food market is poised to register moderate growth between 2016 and 2018. The growth of the market is spurred on by the increasing consciousness among individuals pertaining to the health and wellness of their pets. Pet owners around the world have become more aware about the significance of pet nutrition, which has significantly propelled the animal food market in the last couple of years. Meanwhile, rising disposable income of people living in the emerging economies of Asia Pacific is also expected to boost the demand for animal food during the forecast period. Impelled by factors such as changing lifestyle, surge in urbanization, growing preference for nuclear families, and changing perception among consumers pertaining to animal health, the global animal food market is likely to grow significantly during the forecast period.
