Turkiye: Pet Food Sales in Turkiye Are Expected to Double by 2027

Pet food demand in Türkiye continues to rocket higher as pet ownership, especially for dogs and cats expands. Sales of dog and cat food soared to $127 million in 2022 and are set to more than double to $300 million by the end of 2027. About two-thirds of pet food consumption is produced in Türkiye and the remainder is imported mostly from Europe. As pet ownership increases, domestic pet food production is set to grow in the future. This growth is expected to spur increased demand for pet food ingredients, such as animal by-products and rendered oils. There may even be new opportunities for U.S. rendered products as ingredients.
