According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Air-dried Pet Food market size was valued at US$ 4263 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 8235 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 11.2% during review period.
In 2025, global production of air-dried pet food reached 462.58 thousand metric tons, with an average selling price of USD 8,950 per metric ton. Air-dried pet food is a type of dry pet food produced through low-temperature, long-duration air drying or gentle dehydration processes, designed to minimize nutrient degradation caused by high-heat processing while preserving the natural flavor and nutritional density of meat, organ ingredients, and natural additives. Compared with conventional extruded or baked pet food, air-dried products typically feature higher meat content, lower carbohydrate ratios, and nutritional profiles closer to raw feeding concepts. They are primarily targeted at premium pet owners who emphasize natural diets, ingredient traceability, and high-protein formulations, and are widely used in dog and cat staple diets with high nutritional density requirements.
At present, the air-dried pet food market is characterized by relatively small volume but exceptionally high value density, strong brand premium, and a higher consumer education threshold. Demand is primarily driven by premiumization of pet food, growing acceptance of natural and minimally processed diets, and consumption upgrading among high-income pet owners. From a market perspective, penetration of air-dried pet food within the overall dry food category remains limited; however, it demonstrates strong differentiation and competitiveness in the super-premium segment, with relatively high brand concentration. Development trends point toward higher ingredient standards, greater transparency in formulations and origin labeling, and expansion into functional nutrition areas such as joint health, skin and coat care, and digestive support. Market consensus suggests that although air-dried pet food faces constraints in cost structure and large-scale production efficiency, its advantages in nutritional positioning, premium pricing, and brand storytelling will support sustained growth in the high-end and super-premium pet food market.
