The trend of humanisation of pets, where pets are treated as family members, is driving the demand for high-quality, nutritious, and premium pet food products, including cat food.

The rise of e-commerce and the availability of cat food online has made it easier for pet owners to find and purchase cat food, contributing to the United States cat food market growth. Chewy.com is an online retailer thar offer a wide range of cat food products, including wet and dry food, treats, and supplements.

The animal-derived ingredients segment has a significant United States cat food market share as cats are obligate carnivores, requiring a diet high in protein and fats from animal sources. This segment includes products that primarily use meat-based protein sources such as chicken, turkey, fish, or beef to provide essential nutrients like minerals, vitamins, and fats. Some key players in this segment include Mars Petcare, Nestle Purina PetCare Company, Hill's Pet Nutrition, and J.M Smucker.

The plant-derived ingredients segment is growing due to the increasing demand for vegan and grain-free options. This segment includes products that use plant-based protein sources, such as peas, lentils, and chickpeas, to cater to the needs of cats with specific dietary restrictions. Companies like Blue Buffalo, Evanger's Dog and Cat Food Company Inc., and Fromm Family Foods LLC offer plant-derived cat food options.
