Cat Litter Market Report: Sales Volume, Market Share, Leading Brands & Market Trends

Dr. Elsey's is the best-performing cat litter brand in July 2026, moving 170,000 units across 2 ASINs for 38.6% of Top 10 volume. Fresh Step follows with 80,000 units (18.2%), ahead of Arm & Hammer on 80,000 units (18.2%).

With 6 brands splitting the Top 10 and 75.0% of volume sitting with three of them, this is a concentrated shelf — the leaders hold multiple listings or one very high-velocity ASIN, so a new entrant competes against established review moats rather than an open field. Average selling prices among the leaders run from $17.73 to $26.49, which frames the price band a competing listing has to justify.

Based on July 2026 data, this shortlist surfaces the two kinds of ASIN worth keeping an eye on — the ones that just broke into the Top 10, and the ones growing fastest month over month. Specifically, one ASIN forced its way in: B000FEF10A booked 20K units at $73.49, with ▲ 0.0% MoM change. On the growth side, B000VDR8LA leads positive momentum with ▲ 100.0% MoM growth on 60K units, with B0CQDGCQCX close behind at ▲ 66.7% MoM on 10K units.

The two signals carry different weight. A fresh entrant means share has already changed hands — an incumbent gave up its place to make room, so any competitive set drawn up a month ago is now out of date. A steep growth rate works as the earlier warning: it marks demand that is still compounding, usually a month or two before the ranking catches up to it.
