Summary

  • $1.0 billion in 2026 revenue is projected to more than double to $2.2 billion by 2036, according to a Future Market Insights forecast for high-protein dog treats.
  • 8.2% annual growth is being driven by owners shifting from standard biscuits to meat-rich rewards such as jerky and freeze-dried bites, while comparing protein source, feeding purpose and calorie guidance more closely.
  • 52.8% of 2026 demand is expected to come from adult dog owners, with poultry-based proteins leading at 41.9%, pet specialty retail at 38.4%, and jerky and meat strips as the top product at 34.7%.
  • 10.1% CAGR in Saudi Arabia and 9.6% in South Korea mark the fastest country growth, reflecting premium imported pet products, urban specialty retail and online reorder habits.
  • Retailer scrutiny is also tightening: WSAVA guidance caps treats at under 10% of daily calories, while safety and labeling rules are pushing suppliers toward clearer kcal-per-treat labels and stronger process controls.
