Latin America’s pet food market is one of the fastest-growing globally, driven by a significant cultural shift where pets are now seen as family members rather than utility animals. This shift has fueled the demand for nutritionally balanced, premium pet foods. Urbanization and rising living standards have further influenced this trend, with a preference for cats and small dogs and increased spending on pet food. Key companies benefiting from this growth include Grupo Pilar and Agroindustrias Baires in Argentina, BRF Pet SA and Special Dog in Brazil, Empresas Carozzi and Champion Pet Care in Chile, Italcol in Colombia, Belina Montes de Oro in Costa Rica, Campi Alimentos and Nutec Group in Mexico, Rinti SA in Peru, and National Flour Mills in Trinidad and Tobago
