Mexico Dog Food Market Outlook 

The Mexico dog food market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% between 2024 and 2032. The market is being driven by the increasing smartphone penetration and the rising pet population in Mexico.   

Key Takeaways

• 7/10 households in Mexico have a pet, with the pet dog population being 20 million.

• Pet adoption in Mexico has grown by over 50% since 2020, driven primarily by the need for companionship.

• Mass products are expected to dominate the market over the forecast period.

Increasing smartphone penetration rates and rising internet accessibility have made online distribution channels a popular mode of purchasing dog food. This is because they provide enhanced convenience and flexibility in terms of order placing and offer easy terms for the exchange and return of products. Moreover, major e-commerce platforms provide guaranteed refunds for poor quality/defective products, which is further expected to accelerate the market growth. 

As preventive pet healthcare becomes the key focus of consumers, the Mexico dog food market players are launching different products which cater to the overall nutritional requirements of adult dogs and puppies. Over the forecast period, foods that are high quality and easily digestible by dogs are expected to accelerate the market growth.

The emergence of wholesale channels for the distribution of dog food has become increasingly popular among companies and consumers alike. This is because wholesale channels provide a good starting point for small companies to distribute their products. Moreover, increasing investments in dog food production by local companies has led to a proliferation of brands available in the market and provided consumers with more options to choose from. This is further expected to drive the Mexico dog food market expansion.
