COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Due to prolonged lockdowns in many locations, limits on international commerce, the closure of production facilities, travel bans, supply chain constraints, and a scarcity of raw materials, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the manufacturing sector's operating efficiency. The pandemic has affected the organic pet food market because production facilities have been shut down, raw material costs have increased, there is a labor shortage, supply chains have been disrupted, and the economy is unstable.

Market Growth Factors

Foodborne illness cases are on the rise.

To protect pets' health, hygienic and healthful pet food is essential. As a result, pet owners like to purchase high-quality pet food. Compared to conventional goods, food with holistic, organic, and natural labels tends to draw more consumers. Often, by-products of the food manufacturing industry, like chicken skin and bones, are used to make pet meals. However, if the raw material employed is treated with additional antibiotics, such procedures might result in foodborne diseases. In order to stop the spread of foodborne illnesses that may be brought on by pet food, the supply chain must be managed from the first handling step to the last.

Customers that shop online utilizes a variety of search engines, including Google, Amazon, YouTube, and others, in addition to asking friends and social media influencers for suggestions.

These issues may thus limit the expansion of the pet food market as a whole, which would hamper its expansion throughout the forecasted period.
