8 1. INTRODUCTION PETFOOD TRENDS Global petfood industry 65 billion USD/yr in 2015 The petfood industry is highly influenced by the trends and preferences in the human food market Healthier, organic, natural, no byproducts Elimination of grains, gluten, hormones, antibiotics and artificial colors Organic petfood (fastest growing segment in the petfood industry) Available through vets only just launched Real meat as number one ingredient INSECTS Produced under strict EU legislation (insects fed on plant origin material under GMP+) Novel, single animal protein source Hypoallergenic insect based petfood product
