Cat Litter Market Research, 2030
The global cat litter market was valued at $7,212.80 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $11,293.30 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2021 to 2030.
Pet owners all across the world consider their pets as members of their families, and are seeking for high-quality care options. For a variety of reasons, including human animosity and adverse weather, most cat owners prefer not to let their cats out of the house. Over the projected period, these variables are expected to drive product demand. The growing trend of pet humanization as well as increase in pet population in the U.S. are projected to drive the growth of the global cat litter market.
The growth of the cat litter market is expected to be driven by increase in cat population and surge in number of multi-cat households. The shift from "ownership" to "parenting" of pets has been a significant trend, particularly in wealthy countries. Furthermore, cat owners are increasingly turning to natural materials as alternatives such as corn, wheat, walnut shell, and pine to cat litter. This is attributed to the fact that consumers have become more aware of the environmental impact, which encouraged the shift in consumer expenditure from conventional to natural & sustainable litters.
Enterprises are currently taking longer to deliver orders, especially in states where there is a stay-at-home recommendation and obligatory closure of nonessential businesses. Furthermore, the industry is experiencing supply chain disruptions all across the world. Pet food and kitty litter, on the other hand, are considered important commodities that drive the market. Consumers are more likely to choose non-discretionary pet products with cheaper prices, such as pet food and cat litter. Companies are suffering negative consequences; for example, although companies are meeting rising customer demand, they are experiencing distribution and inventory challenges further down the supply chain.
The global cat litter market is segmented into product type, raw material, distribution channel, and region. By product type, the market is bifurcated into clumping and non-clumping. Depending on raw material, it is segregated into clay, silica, and others. On the basis of distribution channel, it is fragmented into hypermarkets/supermarkets, specialty pet stores, and online channels. Region wise, the market is studied across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, Australia, and the rest of Asia Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, and the rest of LAMEA).
On the basis of product type, the clumping segment accounted for the highest share in 2020. This is attributed to the fact that clumping litter is a popular and convenient choice among pet owners. Many people say that it makes cleaning up a lot easier. In addition, clumping litter comes in a variety of fragrances, granule sizes, and textures. The litter soon attaches to the waste, cupping around to form a barrier. It prevents waste from spreading throughout the litter box, keeping the kitty box fresher for longer.
Depending on raw material, the clay segment garnered the largest share of the global cat litter market share in 2020, and is expected to dominate the market throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to the fact that clay absorbs ample amount of water in a short time span, keeping the litter box dry and clean. In addition, clay absorbs odors, which is significant because the odor of cat urine and feces is unpleasant. As clay litter clumps quickly, it is easily cleaned and convenient. When exposed to moisture, the clay expands and hardens.
By distribution channel, the hypermarkets/supermarkets segment accounted for the highest cat litter market share in 2020, as customers benefit from the availability of a wide choice of products, product discounts, sales representative assistance, and speedy checkouts at hypermarkets/supermarkets. Thus, these advantages are predicted to promote shopping at hypermarket/supermarket growth during the cat litter market forecast.
By Region, Asia-Pacific was the fastest growing regional segment in 2020, followed by Europe and North America. China and the U.S. were the most prominent country accounting for a sizeable share in the global cat litter market size.
