Dog food is generally produced from water, poultry, fish, meat, cereals, and grains and available in various forms, including snacks, liquid supplements, gravy, and treats. It assists in boosting immunity, strengthening muscles and bones, maintaining a healthy weight, and minimizing the risk of allergies and digestive disorders among domesticated dogs. It also aids in improving the skin, maintaining dental health, and minimizing the body and stool odor among dogs.

Japan Dog Food Market Trends:

Health and Wellness Trends

Japan’s dog food market is strongly influenced by the growing focus on health and wellness. Pet parents are increasingly becoming aware about the importance of nutrition and are opting for products that cater to specific health needs, such as weight management, digestive health, and skin care. This trend is leading to a rise in the demand for dog food formulated with natural and functional ingredients, like probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. Rising preferences for grain-free and raw food diets particularly for pets with sensitivities is impelling the Japan dog food market growth. There is an increase in the need for specialized food targeting senior pets’ health. Companies are developing formulations aimed at improving joint health, enhancing cognitive function, and promoting a longer and healthier life. Pet parents are willing to spend on premium products for their pet’s enhanced well-being.

Aging Pet Population

With advancements in veterinary care and better overall pet health management, dogs in Japan are living longer than ever before. As a result, dog food market in Japan is rising in order to cater to the needs of older pet population. Aging dogs have unique nutritional needs, requiring food that supports their joint health, digestion, immune system, and cognitive functions. This is driving the demand for specialized senior dog food formulas that include ingredients like glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3 fatty acids, which help alleviate common age-related issues such as arthritis and reduced mobility. Key market players are introducing products that cater to specific health conditions like weight control for less active dogs and easy-to-digest formulas for pets with sensitive stomachs. This is further expected to provide a positive Japan dog food market forecast in the coming years.                    

Increasing Number of Pet Parents

The rising number of pet parents in Japan is contributing to the market growth. As people increasingly view pets, especially dogs, as companions that provide emotional support, more households are adopting dogs. In addition, with declining birth rates, young professionals are adopting pets as an alternative to starting families. Pet parents are seeking both essential and premium products for the overall well-being of their pets. Apart from this, the expansion of online platforms is increasing the Japan dog food market share.
