The rising demand for wet pet food is primarily due to the high nutritional content and the availability, for the growth of pets, of animal proteins. Although less cost-effective, the increased trend of humanization of animal and luxury goods promoted a growing demand among pet owners for affordable and high-quality pet food.

The Japanese government, for example, has introduced the Pet Food Protection Law (Law No. 83 of 2008) for pet food producers, importers, and wholesalers to protect pet health and control the process of production. These policies will further improve the overall size of the pet food industry. Owing to ongoing pet health concerns, the need for transparency has increased among consumers when buying pet food products. Therefore the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guarantees the weight-based products used in pet foods are placed on the labels. This also assesses claims on pet foods such as "mains urinary tract safety," "low magnesium" and "hairball regulation."

The dog's food industry is predicted to play the biggest role in the world market for animal feed. The rising number of dogs and the increasing trend of the humanization of animals has prompted dog owners to embrace them as accompanying pets that are intended to increase demand for quality dog food. This will fuel the growth of the overall demand for pet food processing equipment. Among other species, dogs worldwide have the highest population. Animal owners experience a growing trend to purchase premium and food-rich animal food and choose high-quality food for their pets.

The global pet food processing market has been segmented based on applications, type, and form. By product, dry food is useful for maintaining proper oral care in dogs with minimal tartar buildup on the teeth of the animal, and plaque removal. Additionally, this form of the product provides the snap and chewing required to preserve animal overall health.

High moisture content helps ensure animals are hydrated and the urinary tract benefits. The high cost of the product, especially protein canned foods made of meat, may therefore limit its consumer demand and therefore limit the growth of the segment over the prediction period. The need for freezing as in the case of canned food is every by dry food. Animal foods are commonly used to enhance dietary consumption and the purity of ingredients, while treatments are used to encourage healthy behaviour. Baked products like roasted grains, biscuits or snacks consist of dried fruits and vegetables. As a result, increased awareness of the consumer's pet safety has led to increased emphasis on decreased dog weight and the overall preservation of health. Customers choose a variety of products and rely primarily on labels. Manufacturers are increasingly operating in the luxury food sector to raise their total profit margin. More than one cat is rising constantly, in particular in Europe and North America, thus boosting the market for products.
