The forecast for the US import of dog or cat food indicates a steady growth from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, imports are expected to be valued at $1.1926 billion, gradually rising to $1.3362 billion by 2028. The consistent annual increase suggests a positive trend, with year-on-year growth rates around 3-4%. This results in a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting sustained demand increases over the next five years.

Future trends to watch for:

Increasing pet ownership and changes in pet care trends, potentially boosting demand for imported pet food.
Regulatory changes or trade agreements affecting import costs or supply chain logistics.
Consumer preferences shifting towards premium or specialized pet food types.
