Globally the pet food market dominated by the US, but what about the rest of the world? Drawing on GfK’s point-of-sale (POS) databases around the globe, we’ll explore the pet food trends driving sales the UK, France, Spain, China, and South Africa vs. the US. Are dogs “barking the loudest,” or are cats equally popular and pampered? Are treats important, or do owners rely on table scratch to indulge their pets? Are high-growth categories like Natural and Grain-free also big like in the US? Is raw/freeze-dried “the next big thing” in other countries, as they seem to be in the US?
