Essentially, rising disposable incomes and urbanization have seen unprecedented rise in the number of individuals keeping pets as more and more homes welcome dogs into the home and are willing to spend a premium on high-quality feed.
In addition, revolutionizing pet owners' lives and shifting emphasis towards pet health have created huge demand for healthy, high-quality, and specialty canine foods for various diet needs.
On top of that, advances in food technology in processing and manufacturing have made it possible to provide a range of products like organic, grain-free, and functional types focusing on overall pet health and longevity.
In addition, increased education regarding the benefits of a well-balanced canine diet, thanks to pet vets and social media, has also helped fuel market growth, as owners will do whatever it takes to obtain brands that promise optimal animal health and vitality.
Besides that, growth in web-based retail stores and e-commerce in South Korea has transformed distribution dynamics by placing high-end dog food products under an open and accessible system, thereby reaffirming customers' confidence.
In the same way, cooperative working between foreign firms and domestic pet food manufacturers via strategic alliances has enabled coordination of best practice and product design expertise, hence enabling expansion in the market.
In addition to that, efforts from the government aimed at supporting local production and compliance with food safety regulations have come a long way in developing a secure regulatory environment conducive to high-quality pet food production.
Apart from that, the increasing trend towards sustainability within consumer products is forcing companies to adopt green manufacturing and sustainable package solutions appealing to environmentally conscious pet owners.
Apart from that, technological applications like data analysis and customer reaction systems are allowing companies to better use market trends and hence alter their products.
