Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Vegan Pet Food Market

The market is being disrupted by COVID-19 because of the slowdown of raw material production, supply chain instability, postponing of trade shows and conferences on dog & cat health, hampered trade movements, and other reasons. The outbreak has distorted operational efficiency and disrupted the value chains due to the sudden shutdown of national and international boundaries, creating revenue loss and damage. The disturbed value chain during the initial days of the pandemic has had a negative impact on raw material supply and further impacting the vegan pet food market. However, most people are now working from home, and this change in lifestyle has further inspired families to welcome new pets to their families. And vegan pet owners are highly looking for sustainable vegan pet food for their pets. Also, there is no evidence yet that pets contribute to the spread of COVID-19; hence families feel safe to welcome new companion animals for emotional support during this time.

Pet food and vegan pet food manufacturers already operate within strict sanitation guidelines; however, many of them are taking extra precautions to diminish person-to-person contact.
