The majority of these companies have headquarters in Japan, with others inThailand, Australia and South Korea.

Among companies based in Asia or Australia, the pet food producers listedbelow had the highest annual revenue in 2021, according to Petfood Industry’sTop Companies Current Data. The majority of these companies have headquartersin Japan, with others in Thailand, Australia and South Korea.

Asia and Australia include a wide range of pet food markets with individualconsumer demand trends. For example, until a few decades ago, many in SouthKorea considered cats as little more than vermin, Sunny Moon, food andnutrition consultant with Euromonitor International, told Petfood Industry ina previous article. Similarly, dogs occupied a lower role in society than theydo now. However, changing attitudes about dogs and cats have created anopportunity for economy-priced pet foods in South Korea, especially fordomestic brands.

In other previous Petfood Industry journalism, a report on Japan‘s pet foodmarket by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service(USDA FAS) underscored Japan’s growing demand for super high-quality pet foodas well as for specialized healthy and therapeutic pet foods labeled assickness prevention, allergen-free, vitamins/supplements fortified, gluten-free, low in carbohydrates, high in protein and more.

Thailand is banking on the continued growth of their pet food exports to helpshore up their economy in 2021 against the pandemic doldrums.

The Ministry of Commerce’s Trade Policy and Strategy Office expects theexports of pet food, along with canned goods, rice, computers and medicalproducts to combat COVID-19 to grow and help the country’s exports gain 4% in2021 after a contraction of up to 7% in 2020 largely due to the pandemic. Withthat drop, Thailand’s 2020 exports totaled US$238 billion.
