Europe Cat Litter Market Overview

According to Global Market Monitor, Europe cat litter market size will reach $730.12 million in 2023 and it is expected to grow to $893.45 million by 2028.

The European cat litter market has a good outlook, which is attributed to the increasing number of domestic cats. According to the Federation of the European Pet Food Industry (FEDIAF), there was more than 110 million pet cats in 88 million European households in 2020.

By type, the bentonite segment accounts for the largest share. Bentonite is a highly absorbent clay that forms solid clumps when cats urinate. The sticky clay makes it easy to shovel and clean the bins. But bentonite is not biodegradable and will produce large dust, which is not only uncomfortable for cats but also unhealthy for people. Silica gel type is more expensive and has a strong drying property that may absorb moisture from the air. Both kinds of cat litter have certain limiting factors and can be purchased according to the cat\'s preference. At the same time, enterprises should increase investment in product development to produce better, more environmentally friendly, and healthier products.

Germany has the highest growth rate of all regions. The German government has instituted regulations to keep domestic male cats off the streets and prohibit the slaughter of stray cats, increasing the amount of time cats spend at home. Changes in social tendencies and affection for cats have increased cat\'s reproductive rate to some extent, thus stimulating the demand for cat litter.
