Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Vegan Pet Food Market

The COVID-19 outbreak is adversely affecting economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The food & beverage industry is among the significant industries suffering from severe disruptions, such as restrictions on supply chain and shutdown of production plants. The shutdown of various plants and factories is hindering the global supply chains and negatively impacting the manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and various goods sales. Various companies have already announced possible delays in product deliveries and slump in future sales of their products. In addition, the global travel bans imposed by countries in Europe, Asia, and North America are hampering the business collaboration and partnership opportunities. The disturbed value chain during the initial days of the pandemic has had a negative impact on raw material supply and further impacting the vegan pet food market. However, as the economies are planning to revive their operations, the demand for vegan pet food is rising. In addition, most people are now working from home, and this change in lifestyle has further inspired families to welcome new pets to their families. So, the negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic has not been significant in the vegan pet food market. Instead, vegan pet food manufacturers witnessed a significant rise in the sale of their products through online retail.
