The pet food market in Vietnam is growing strongly due to the increase in the number of pets and the need for better nutritional care. Consumers increasingly favor imported products due to their high quality and superior nutritional value. The domestic market still lacks high-end products, creating great opportunities for import businesses to penetrate and expand. With modern consumption trends and strong growth potential, Vietnam is an attractive market for imported pet food products.<\/p>\n

Overview of the pet food market in Vietnam<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 2023, the number of pets (dogs and cats) in Vietnam will be about 12 million, including about 5.6 million cats and 6.5 million dogs. It is expected that in 2027, there will be about 16 million pets in Vietnam. According to Euromonitor, in 2023, the Vietnamese market will consume more than 17,000 tons of pet food, an increase of 15% compared to 2022. [1]<\/a>The dog food segment accounts for the largest proportion of the market, but cat food is growing rapidly due to the increase in the number of cats in young households.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the pet food market in Vietnam is growing strongly, with an expected size of 142 million USD by 2024 and continuing to grow to 222 million USD by 2029 at a CAGR of 9.4% [2]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Distribution channels and consumer behavior<\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to Kirin Capital’s 2024 report, pet food in Vietnam is mainly sold through pet shops, accounting for 75% of the distribution channel. Other channels such as supermarkets, hypermarkets and online stores account for a smaller proportion but are growing thanks to the development of e-commerce and the trend of online shopping among young people.[3]<\/a><\/p>\n

The imported pet food market in Vietnam, especially for dogs and cats, focuses on dry food (grains), wet food (pate, soup), treats, jellies, and nutritional supplements. These products are often high quality, with many organic, grain-free, and hypoallergenic lines, aiming at the health and comprehensive nutrition of pets. Compared to domestic products, imported products are superior in quality but cost significantly more, often 2-3 times more. Although domestic products are improving, they still do not reach the high-end standards of imported products.<\/p>\n
