Market Dynamics
Increasing adoption of cats as pets
Cats are becoming more and more popular as pets, and this trend is fueling market expansion in numerous nations throughout the globe. For instance, according to data from the American Pet Product Association, there are 45.3 million cat owners in the United States out of a total of 154.3 million pet owners, a 30% increase between 2021 and 2022. The demand is also being aided by the growing number of millennial pet owners who are aware of the different pet products available on the market. For instance, according to data published by the American Veterinary Medical Association in May 2019, more than 80% of pet owners in the United States are millennials. The 2021–2022 APPA National Pet Owners Survey revealed that baseline annual costs for a cat owner are 902 USD. During the anticipated period, these fundamental yearly costs for the cat trend will accelerate market expansion.
High cost associated with cat litter products
Cat litter is an essential buy for cat owners. It helps to keep the owner's home clean and helps to control odors, but it may also be quite expensive. The product's high price and some pet owners' unwillingness to spend a lot of money on expensive items for their animals may serve as market restraints. For instance, a naturally occurring mineral called silicon dioxide is used to make silica-based cat litter. The mineral must be mined and transformed into granules in order to make silica-based cat litter. This procedure can be pricey and needs a lot of energy and specialist equipment. Moreover, silica dust can endanger workers, increasing the cost of safety.
