Pet Care in Japan
Pet care in Japan is set to continue to rise in retail current value terms in 2025. In 2023, the country experienced a sharp increase in pet food prices, a trend that continued in 2024, and has also continued into 2025 (although at a slowing rate of increase), which is expected to contribute to value growth. Despite the increase in value terms, the effect on volume sales of pet food was slightly negative.
