Pet Food Manufacturing and Machinery Exhibition AT PPMA EVENT and TRADE SHOW
The pet sector takes its place in the wide-ranging line-up of industries to be seen at this year’s Processing and Packaging Machinery Trade Show, PPMA Show. The Show is a very important opportunity for decision-makers and managers to find out about the latest developments and opportunities in the pet food and pet care sectors.
PET FOOD AND PET CARE
40% of UK households own one or more pets, and our national pet population now runs to 20 million. That makes pet food and pet care major market sectors, which is why they have a significant presence at the PPMA Show.
The pet food market is diversifying. The core remains wet food produced in the established way of chunking up proteins, vegetable, cereal and dairy matter followed by cooking and jellying. For packaging, tins are now side by side on the shelves with pouches and trays with the different opportunities they present for graphics and branding.
Dried pet food too continues to be hugely popular, but it's now available coated and extruded into kibbles in an infinite variety of shapes. Newer trends are the arrival of premium brands, the rise of the 'gastropooch' and raw pet foods.
Side-by-side with developments in foods, the pet care market is evolving fast too. Pet nutrition is a key concern for many owners, and there are a growing number of specialist supplements available for teeth, costs, joints and much more.
Alongside changes in consumer demand, quality assurance remains paramount as well as following the legislation from the UK and EU (for now at least) on ingredients and processing.
