What Are The Key Factors Driving Growth In The Processed Animal Protein Market?
The processed animal protein market is likely to expand due to the escalating trend of pet adoption. The growing trend of viewing pets as family members, associated with the increasing humanization of animals, is augmenting pet ownership. This, in turn, is amplifying the demand for solutions comprising processed animal protein, driven by a substantial increase in pet ownership. Companies are thus compelled to integrate superior, protein-dense ingredients to meet the dietary needs of pet food compositions. For example, the World Animal Foundation, a US animal welfare organization that operates as a non-profit, reported in July 2025 that there was a slight annual increase of 0.4% in cat adoptions from animal shelters in 2023. This equates to a rise of 17,153 adoptions from the prior year. Consequently, the heightened adoption of pets is spurring the demand in the processed animal protein market.

What Are The Key Trends And Market Opportunities In The Processed Animal Protein Sector?
Leading firms in the processed animal protein market are concentrating on embracing technological advancements in processing techniques like X-ray imaging systems to enhance processing efficiency, quality control, and detection of contaminants. These cutting-edge inspection technologies using high-resolution X-rays and image analysis software can detect bones, foreign objects, and faults in animal protein products during processing. It offers capabilities such as instant analysis, automated fault rejection, and optimisation of yield. For instance, in August 2023, Eagle Product Inspection, a company based in the US known for inspection and processing technologies in the animal protein industry, introduced MAXIMIZER RMI. This X-ray inspection system has been specifically designed to bolster bone detection and remove contaminants in poultry and meat processing lines. It comes with a dual-lane capability that can process up to 120 pieces per lane each minute, integrated with SimulTask PRO image analysis software, and automatic rejection management system. The MAXIMIZER RMI enhances the production of processed animal proteins by escalating automation, throughput, and product quality, and it lessens the necessity for manual inspections, ensuring safer and superior grade protein outputs.
