According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Air-dried Dog Food market size was valued at US$ 1180 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 2265 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 10.6% during review period.
In 2025, global production of air-dried dog food reached approximately 185,000 tons, with an average selling price of about USD 6,200 per ton.Air-dried dog food is a type of canine staple or primary complementary food produced through a low-temperature, long-duration air-drying process. This method avoids high-temperature extrusion or high-pressure processing, helping preserve protein structures, fatty acids, natural flavors, and certain active nutrients found in meat-based ingredients. The resulting product features dense texture, low moisture content, and high nutritional density, positioning it between traditional dry kibble and freeze-dried food. Air-dried dog food is typically marketed with high meat inclusion, low-carbohydrate or grain-free formulations, and is positioned in the mid-to-high-end and premium pet food segments.
Currently, the air-dried dog food market represents a premium niche within the pet food industry. While its overall scale remains significantly smaller than that of traditional extruded kibble, acceptance among high-end consumers continues to increase. Demand is primarily driven by pet owners who value natural dietary structures, ingredient integrity, and gentle processing methods, with key markets in North America, Europe, Oceania, and selected high-end regions in Asia. In terms of trends, products are evolving toward higher meat inclusion, clean-label positioning, single-animal protein formulations, and functional nutrition claims, while brands increasingly emphasize ingredient sourcing, sustainability, and processing transparency. Market perspectives suggest that although air-dried dog food faces constraints in cost structure and large-scale capacity expansion, its positioning as a safer and more stable alternative to raw feeding supports long-term growth in the premium pet food segment.
