Pet food maker i-Tail targets innovation for revenue growthMr Pahk said the company's innovation direction is anchored in "science-based nutrition designed to help pets live longer and healthier lives". The global pet nutraceutical market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7.1% from 2026, reaching US$8.84 billion by 2031. In response, i-Tail plans to expand its innovation scope into supplements, nutraceutical products and personalised diets by 2030, moving beyond traditional pet food into targeted health solutions. ITC works closely with leading global pet food brands as a co-creator, participating from the early concept stage of product development. This is supported by Thai Union's broader innovation system, including the i-Cattery research facility, the Global PetCare Innovation Center and the Global Innovation Center.
