The recent uptake in online purchases has improved the awareness among customers about more affordable and effective products, which is boosting sales in the local pet food business. The changes in government policies, the transition from traditional culture to the modern age, and improved animal wellness campaigns will create more opportunities for the Middle East and African pet food market in the future.

The major challenge to the Middle East and Africa pet food market is the cultural restrictions towards the use of certain types of ingredients in pet nutrition.

The concerns towards the environment due to the use of different packaging materials and demand for homemade pet foods are acting as a barrier to the Middle East and African pet food market.
