The sales stats of the top 45 pet food manufacturers based on revenue.\n\nBy Susan Thixton\nPublished 2 days ago\nPetFoodIndustry.com recently provided the annual revenues for 45 US based pet food manufacturers.\n\nIn a class all their own (only due to annual revenue) is Purina and Mars.\n\nNestle Purina: $22.4 billion 2024 revenue. Mars Petcare: $22 billion 2024 revenue.\n\nThe next closest pet food manufacturer was Hill’s Pet Nutrition with 2024 annual revenue of $4.4 billion.\n\nThe entire list:\nNestle Purina: Mars Petcare: Hill’s Pet Nutrition: General Mills: Diamond: Simmons: Spectrum/United Pet Group: Alpia: Freshpet: Wellness: Central Garden & Pet: Sunshine Mills: ADM Animal Nutrition: Tuffy’s Pet Foods Whitebridge Pet Brands: Compana Pet Brands: Nulo Pet Food: Instinct: Redbarn Pet Products: Mid America Pet Food: Solid Gold Pet: Kent Corp: Primal Pet Group: Ethos Pet Brands: Rush Direct Inc: Midwestern Pet Foods: Natural Balance Pet Foods: TFP Nutrition: Red Collar Pet Foods: Stella & Chewy’s: BrightPet Nutrition Group: The Honest Kitchen: Better Choice Company Inc: Halo, Purely for Pets: JustFoodForDogs: Life’s Abundance: Weruva Pet Foods: Oxbow Animal Health: Bil-Jac Foods: Canidae Pet Foods: Pets Global Inc: Evanger’s Dog & Cat Food Co.

In comparison, Hill’s owns 4 different pet food manufacturing facilities in the US.\n\nBoth companies sell feed grade pet foods.\n\nThe good news is that two human grade pet food manufacturers made PetFoodIndustry.com’s top 45 revenue list; Honest Kitchen Pet Food and JustFoodforDogs. (Let’s hope we see more human grade manufacturers included for 2025.)

2024 US Pet Food Sales

A report from PetFoodIndustry.com outlines the annual revenues of the top 45 U.S. pet food manufacturers in 2024. Nestlé Purina and Mars Petcare lead with revenues of $22.4 billion and $22 billion, respectively, significantly outpacing the next closest competitor, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, which earned $4.4 billion. The article attributes this revenue gap to Purina and Mars selling a larger number of individual pet food products—over 900 versus Hill’s 300—and operating more manufacturing facilities (23 vs. 4). Additionally, two human-grade pet food brands, Honest Kitchen and JustFoodForDogs, are noted as being among the top 45 by revenue, signaling a growing trend in human-grade pet food offerings.
