Pet food processing refers to the specific production process and treatment of pet food. This process typically allows the pet food manufacturers to meet the set standards for nutrition and food safety. Use of quality control mechanisms and advanced technologies assists in better drying, extrusion, and sterilization of food items. The growing demand for sustainable pet food among the consumers contributes to the growth of the market. The most significant factor driving the growth of the Europe pet food processing market is the significant growth in pet ownership. This, in turn, results in the growth in demand for high-quality pet food products. Typically, European consumers, like all others, consider pets to be their family members and believe that they should have equally nutritious and high-quality food as them. This trend is however bolstered by the rising disposable incomes which has resulted in the shift towards grain-free, organic, and customized pet food products. However, stringent regulations and high production cost are the factors hampering the market growth.
