Australia’s dog food market is on a steady growth path, driven by rising demand for high-quality, nutritious, and specialized pet food, according to a new report by IMARC Group titled “Australia Dog Food Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2025–2033.”
The market reached USD 1.45 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 2.04 billion by 2033, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.83% over the forecast period.
Key trends fueling this growth include the humanization of pets, as more owners seek premium and health-focused food options. Manufacturers are responding by offering innovative formulas that include novel proteins such as kangaroo, duck, and salmon, and using functional ingredients like probiotics and omega-3 fatty acids.
Consumers are also leaning toward natural and sustainable ingredients, prompting brands to reformulate products to align with wellness trends. Meanwhile, the rise of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer platforms is reshaping how Australians purchase pet food—offering greater convenience, variety, and customer loyalty.
According to the report, rising disposable incomes and greater awareness of pet health are further encouraging consumers to invest in premium dog food options, ensuring consistent market expansion across the country.
With a strong retail infrastructure and growing digital access, Australia’s dog food sector is poised to maintain its momentum through 2033.
