Raw materials typically include grains, meat meals, plant proteins, and functional nutritional additives. The extrusion process rapidly cooks the ingredients, eliminates harmful microorganisms, improves digestibility, and forms loose, easily chewable kibble. This type of product is widely used in the mass market due to its relatively low cost, high production capacity, adjustable formulations, and ease of storage, covering entry-level to mid-tier consumer segments, and remains a core category in the pet food market.

Currently, the pet extruded food market remains the foundational and core segment of the pet food industry, with a large scale and stable growth. Consumers are increasingly concerned about health, nutrition, functional formulations, and natural ingredients, driving innovations in high-protein, hypoallergenic, natural grain, or grain-free extruded foods. Industry trends indicate that extrusion technology is evolving toward higher temperature control precision, more intelligent production, and personalized formulations, while brands continue to enhance packaging and product differentiation. Market perspectives suggest that although extruded food is a mature and highly competitive market, its high production capacity, cost advantages, and continuous formula optimization support stable growth in the mass pet food segment.
