The Pet Food Market in Peru has seen minimal growth due to factors such as slow adoption of pet ownership, low health awareness among consumers, and lack of convenience in purchasing pet food. Despite this, the market is slowly expanding due to growing disposable incomes and increasing pet humanization.

Customer preferences: As pet ownership continues to rise in Peru, consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about the health and wellbeing of their furry companions. This has led to a growing demand for natural and organic pet food products, as well as a focus on pet-specific diets and nutrition. Additionally, there has been a shift towards online shopping for pet food, as busy pet owners seek convenient and time-saving options. This trend is also driven by the increasing use of social media and online communities for pet-related advice and recommendations.

Additionally, there is a rising awareness of the importance of pet health and wellness, leading to the introduction of functional pet food products that offer specific health benefits.
